Looks good mate, I hope things work out well for you @Dose Pipe Sutututu is a great man and definitely an asset to the community. Helped me a lot in the past and may help with my Launch Control soon

I would take a stab that the tablet has USB

Baffled Sump by the look of it? I always liked the prospect of the HOR extended sump but I read its a pain in the ass and can only be fitted with the engine out. Lucky you're already there

Nah I used an Ebay elimination kit, replaces everything. Put the fuse back in, it will more than likely power the sensor on the steering rack that defines steering effort.

I removed my Hicas with an elimination kit, didn't cut any wires whatsoever and I haven't had any issues at all. Did you remove anything besides the hicas rack? Did you cut any wires? Try disconnecting the battery, leave it for 10 minutes and pump the brakes a few times to get any residual power out of the system. Connect the battery and try again

Keen for pictures as I have a haltech PP and have been looking for display options!

Jordy's R34 Gtt

Good work with the subframe and diff - I pulled my subframe on the weekend and it was a PITA even with a hoist so mad respect to you for doing it with stands and a jack. -

Let me start this post with - NEVER AGAIN. I will never ever do this again. Even with a hoist it was still incredibly time consuming. The only real issues I had were that my center bearing for the tailshaft has seen better days, the subframe bushes were very hard to get in, forgetting the reciprocating saw and I kept losing nuts and bolts. Luckily enough we were in a shop with buckets of spares. Subframe out For anyone who knows me, I have a twin who rocked up to help Fronts Back Rear diff housing Changed the diff housing gasket but didn't get any photos of it and it was boring, The underside of the car is also filthy so I need to get under there with some brushes, truck wash and the pressure washer later this week. A big concern for me was leaks and after a 20 minute drive I parked it and checked for leaks with none present. Next on the list is brakes all around at a later date. -
R33 adjustable caster bushes
kingtube69 replied to wadedos's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
I had these previously in my R33, My aligner pretty much said chuck them in the bin because they are a pain in the ass to get right. For the extra hundred or two you can get adjustable length arms that work great -

Serviced the car today, plugs, oil and filter. Found why the car was probably misfiring Its hard to see in the pic below but the plenum is full of black carbon gunk, I'm not sure what affect this will have on the car but surely can't be positive Is it worth removing the plenum and runners to clean them up? I want to do the subframe tomorrow hopefully. *touch wood* I hope it's not a massive job. -
GOT SUM's RB34
kingtube69 replied to klutched's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Ugghh that's disappointing. I wonder if it would be worthwhile adding a washer to the top side too? -
GOT SUM's RB34
kingtube69 replied to klutched's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Saw the video on Facebook today, sounded awesome! Looks much better with the new wheels too. I ended up ordering the subframe and front and rear diff bushings like you did with yours the other day - have a mate at a parts shop who got it for half price. What ended up happening with your bushes that fvcked out for the front of the diff, did you find out why that happened? -

Subframe bushings and diff bushings arrived today along with my brakes for my Pulsar daily. The brakes on that thing have had a harder life than my R33 brakes haha. After the bushings are done I'll look at getting the brakes done. Rotors are about 400 a set @Dose Pipe Sutututu can you get the DBA 4000 for cheap? -

Hahaha I'll start with replacing the shitty plugs first lol. Small update - I'll post some pics along the way Ordered a list of parts today to replace a few things Diff seal gasket - Current one is leaking and while in there I may as well do all of the bushings so I also ordered Diff to subframe bushings Subframe bushings Front diff to subframe bushings New shift knob to replace the one that is worn out and keeps coming lose Cushion to base bushings for the back seat I think this will be a pretty big job to get knocked out and I'll need another alignment but I'll work through it possibly on the long weekend coming. I've also got some oil and filters waiting at home to be changed as it's due for a service again but since I had some issues with my daily last weekend I didn't get to work on this car. Might even start ordering some brake gear soon also because they will be due soon also but have held up well considering it's been about two years since I did them. I'll take lots of pictures and probably try my luck with recording some of the work with my GoPro when I do it. -

Will this work with a GTST (aside from the torque split)? -

Turned the boost duty down 5% then played with it until I was reaching 1.3 again. Seemed to like that and didn't misfire on the weekend but it was not as cold as it was the other night. I still need to do the plugs anyway as I checked my last invoice (Can't remember the exact date I did them so using that for reference) and it was late last year The coil conversion is CHEAP as chips from Golebys, definitely worth the upgrade considering its the same price as new Splitfires and replacement coils are easy to find and cheap. Also found yet another problem, diff housing is leaking -

Sorry Chris, I won't be coming anymore Unforeseen family commitments -

kingtube69 replied to kingtube69's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Unfortunately I've had it hit overboost before and it was a different reaction On the plus side IF it is plugs I may as well get LS coils or the Golebys kit for Yarris coils -

Problem... Was on the highway last night and gave it a few boots and noticed misfiring at full boost. It really caught me off guard when it happened the first time then I realised what it was the second time around. Hoping it's just shitty plugs but I'll find out this weekend. Will also do a comp test on the motor while the plugs are out. -

I saw one of Ev, you and I cruising together ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Small-ish update Bought a high flow panel filter, fitted up the airbox went for a drive then drove home and immediately removed it. Couldn't reach full boost in any gear - Pod back on and it was back to normal. Also painted my cooler pipes in the engine bay with Duplicolour Satin Engine Enamel and it came out awesome! I'm looking for more shit to paint with it now haha. -

Spotted GTR334 (34 GTT Front R33) on Richmond Road, Marsden Park last weekend. Also spotted 33TOY on Wallgrove Road Eastern Creek (my mate recently sold it so it was good to see it still around)
