    So you want a Z-Tune hood?.... WARNING! (before you buy)

    in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)

    Posted

    Morning friends and family,

    So for obvious reason.... running a Z-tune styled hood makes you look like a mad flamin mongrel and everyone thinks you have a 1000hp , however be WARNED!

    The very first slat/cut out of the four or five of them is legit perfectly angled and is precisely directly over the alternator on your RB and when you wash your whip you must be extremely careful not to let any water in any of the cut outs but especially the first one.

    I am a very careful paranoid kinda guy when washing and detailing my car and never spray water directly on the hood and many other places but i believe some may have leaked in and through the cut outs and when i started it to move it back in the garage to dry her off.... i have now ruined my alternator. 

    Also worth mentioning, is that your coil pack cover is also very vulnerable when washing and this is yet another reason why to be careful, i often take over the cover and check inside after i wash and dry the car just so i can sleep better at night.  

    I have ordered a "Gent 5 OE neo replacment alternator" from FRsports.com 
    I will still try to get it fixed/rebuilt by someone locally as well
    Also, does a series 1or2 25 alternator work on a neo25?

    Any ways lads....  dont be that guy like me and mess your skyline up!

    Waste gate not working, what am i doing wrong?

    friends and family... i am A class bone head.

    Upon further inspection, at the back of the wastegate there are TWO!!! Vacuum ports on the bottom on eachside so you can route a line to closet side when Its installed. I did not see it and Left it open and they even provided a blank/cap to close off the port that you are not using. 
     

    An important lesson was learned today, do not smoke and then go playing mechanic on your car. It could of easily blown shit up when i made 20 psi

    Hello and once again i cant get things right?... 

    i have a freddy greddy intake and shown below is my vacuum diagram. I plumbed the vac line from precision turbo 38mm  wastegate directly from the intake manifold with no “T‘s” or any sharp bends or obstructions with 2 zip ties on each end. Its about 3 feet long and its plumbed exactly to the instructions diagram A. shown in the picture i did it this way As i do not have any electronic or manual boost control as its started life as a de/na rb25. 

    i went for a drive and made 18 psi and the gate did not open... i put a “red” 6 psi spring... 

    what the heck is going on?

    Everything with my rb25 is perfect and it runs normal but Ever since i put  a greddy replica BOV i’ve been stalling\dying at weird times with no load when clutching in too.....it doesnt happen often but i think our problem may be the bov’s that vent to atmoshpere. But then even if its that why doesnt the million other people with aftermarket bov’s have this problem ?

    Yeah fam you aint got a problem with wiring harness... however check pages 5&6 to see the actuall differences in the pin outs and how it can be possible to clear your check engine light. 

    If its a pink labeled NEO afm then its no difference between the turbo and non turbo... they share the same part number.

    Maybe you should turn down your boost for a bit, running lean is very bad

    i’ve done my de+t neo, so if you need any other help or advice holla at yuh boi

    Hey guys, so i have not pulled the trigger on an aftermarket brand as yet... but i am getting an Quote from the local Nissan Dealership for the complete Front and Rear caliper, discs, and pads set for a r34 GTT. lets see what they say.

    So i was thinking right... with all this talk about matching and compatibility between the S and R chassis.... were we talking about front and back all along or just the fronts? my question is if the rears are same and interchangeable as well? if no, would i can use only specific R34 rears or other skyline rears?

    Yo johnny whats up bro, yeah i read it and its very well writen how ever i was looking for somthing brand spanking new... also i have a one question.

    I confirmed with another de+t brethren that we do have 14mm bolts on our n/a 34’s but i was wondering In that case if i can buy a BBK for a 350z and if it will just bolt on directly smooth no problems? 

    Also.... say if i buy a bbk for a s15, s14, or r32 r33 and it comes with the 12mm hole, i would have to drill out the caliper to match the 14mm hole on the spindel? Right? And thats it... no trouble?

    So i have been looking at brake upgrades for my 1998 N/A r34 GT chassis and i am blown away by the prices for the brembo r34 GTR kit. close to 3000 USD.

    My question is.... is there other more affordable brands and options available that people can share their experience with? 

    I was told that all the S and R chassis are all interchangeable in exception for the 14 and 12mm mounting bolts.  

    I am relatively new to the car scene and its my very first time shopping for brakes.

    My budget would be anything under 2000 USD. 

    Can anyone let me know what they would recommend? I dont want anything used!

    Thanks

    Mark my words... when they finally become legal in the states the average price of ANY r34 skyline chassis can easily double in my opinion. If you want to wait out another  3-4 years, your r34 will be worth bigger bucks, i honestly do think that your car is close to worth what you are currently asking.
