Probably cheaper to make your own copies.

Hmm. Something to be said for having a Neo25 in a lighter R32. 1500-2000rpm is a fine place to be. Will pull away from 1000rpm in 5th with judicious use of the throttle.

I miss my old stock R32 GTS-t, but I tell you, the full factory RB20DET silvertop (including exhaust) was a bit of a struggle until you want past 2,000rpm (coming from an Aus-del R31 with RB30E).

With my GT-R, anything below 2,000rpm is a clutch-in scenario.
With my limited experience with NEO6, I can say anything below 2,000 rpm is a struggle (seems to be a common theme with turbo engines).

Even with my BMW B48 (F45 FWD 2-series hatch), anything below 1,500rpm is a struggle, so keep those revs up!

[HKS Cambelt how often should it be changed]

hey mate, if I had the option, I would do the timing belt + supporting hardware (pulleys, etc etc) since our engines are getting old. I wouldn't trust some rando's "maintenance intervals" unless you really trust them.

Normally you'd change them around the 100,000km mark but remember belts degrade with age, so it's up to you if you think it's worth the peace of mind to change them now (I would).

I wouldn't trust a HKS or other branded belt such as Gates/Nismo/Nissan/MINES/etc. to last longer than 10 years.

Hope that helps.

[Stock rb25det neo questions]

Might as well throw in a Peter Brock "polariser box" in while you're at it.

[Slow cranking and low voltage]

Do you notice any other noises in the car? I was going to suggest unplugging the small plug from your HICAS controller under the rear parcel shelf (if you still have it, that thing does weird shit to my car).

[R34 GTT coupe - Rolling shell/ project]

LOL yeah I understand. I still have all my parts from circa 2013

[Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?]

So potentially worse than AUDM RedSport?

If I'm cruising uphill

Our engines don't like being below 2,000rpm. So downshift and keep the revs above 3,000rpm (where you have positive boost). Need to adjust your driving style a little compared to say 3800 EcoTech Buick/Holden engine

The day an RB needs any belt more fancy than a Pitwork belt is the day I eat one.

Who knew that back in circa 1986 the Nissan engineers figured all this out...

[2025 Infinity QX80 VR35DDTT 450hp]

VK56 came from the Patrol yeah, so maybe there is some hope further down the line... I suppose crate motors will be good for builders/drifters.

Euros are shitboxes man.

My next car going to be a Lexus or Hyundai.

Further update.

Ali Express parts didn't fit, retainer clip was too short.

Spoke to local Ferrari dealer, They sourced them within a couple of days for me & perfect fit  Cheaper than LPI too!

 

Genuinely amazed by this haha. nice one

[Gran Turismo 7]

New update. Good to see they're still working on the game, even though the "added cars/tracks" are very limited.

 

Honestly I know the even numbered GTs are the best.

[Rear amp bypass question]

New head unit? Run all new wires, the standard 1988 wires aren't that good, especially now. You only need 2 wires from the factory head unit plug (+12V constant and Ignition).

[BNR32 AB Flug Rear Diffuser]

Do you have all the brackets and stuff? Should be sort of figurable if you climb under the car and try to line it all up.

[Vehicle with air pressure sensors?How do i go about new wheels?]

Yeah broadly speaking, throw the sensors on new wheels, then tell your car to do a reset/re-learn via the infotainment system. I can't recall if newer BMWs need new sensors (probably since it's "German engineered", but I hope Nissans don't.

[R34 manual gearbox swap to RB20DET (SMALL BOX)]

That's good, because the gears for the speedo inside the gearbox can break if you don't have matching sensor (on the pre-R34 era cars), then you're screwed haha.

[V37 Headunit do i need to upgrade to run an amp and sub?]

Try to use as least amount of factory stuff as possible haha.
Also chuck a write up here if you're bothered, might help a fellow V-skyliner.

The Aisin 8spd automatic in my re-skinned Mini still going strong after 100k km, just sayin'

You could get F48, since I highly doubt your missus would approve of F45 (basically same thing but non-SUV). Or get a Mini hehehe. B48 engine goes hard, like SR20 but with plastic bits haha.
