  1. Have had quite a few people interested in seperate gauges. Am trying to sell all as one for now. If they don't sell i will think about seperating so leave your details and which gauges you are after and i will get back to you if they don't sell
  2. Due to upgrading i am selling my Autometer 5" silver face memory recall tacho and 4 Greddy white face gauges. They come as a set and i am asking $450ono for all of them The greddy gauges consist of 60mm Oil Temperature 60mm Oil Pressure 60mm Water Temperature 80mm Boost gauge to 1.5 bar This is very cheap as the tacho itself cost me almost that when i bought it. All gauges come with their senders and wiring. Either pm me or call me on 0422214621
  3. At the moment i am undertaking some more mods to get it ready for the nats(never ending) but once its back on the ground i will put some more pics up
  4. There are two nipples on the ABS unit that you should bleed aswell and there is a special sequence. As bullet 32 said brakes are a safety item and are not something you should take lightly.Check out the note below before undertaking any work.You can start by sucking the old fluid out of the Master cylinder and clean it out with a lint free rag and retop with new fluid. As for bleeding the bleed nipple is located on the top of each calliper so that it can let air out at the highest point and as stated you start at the furthest calliper from the Master Cylinder(the thing you put fluid in) and work your way to the closest(being the last) When pumping the pedal do it slowly and you get the best results when you open the nipple while the person is holding their foot on the brake pedal and shut it off before they take theyre foot off. PUMP>UNDO>SHUT>PUMP.As for fluid Use the highest boiling point brake fluid you can get(roughly 620 deg celsius) as its only a little dearer and will withstand higher temps. As for the abs bleed leave this for someone who knows what theyre doing. BIG NOTE:Don't let the master cylinder run dry while bleeding. Dont spill the brake fluid on the paint as it will eat it and if you do wash it straight away with water. And dont leave the cap off while bleeding as brake fluid is Hygroscopic and as such draws moisture this is very bad for brakes as water starts to boil at 100 deg celsius. Any questions my numbers 0422214621. This is just a guide so if you are not mechanically minded leave it to someone who knows
  5. Come on guys, we should be supporting local business, mechanics is not an exact science as there are a number of possibilities for any one problem it is just a matter of process of elimination. Every mechanic would have made a mistake in their time and anyone who says they haven't is bullsh**ting. Being qualified myself, working for an import yard,performance shop,Qantas as an Engineer and doing all my own work on these cars i speak from experience. These cars are up there with the best of them on technology and gadgets and anyone who has had to use the workshop manual and wiring diagram on one (Translated Japanese) will understand how hard it is to diagnose some of these problems. It is like anything if you have come accross a problem for the first time it takes ages to find but the second time round not a problem. Give these guys a go, if you have a problem with something they have done let em know and i'm sure they will sort it. It's the only way we learn.
  6. Check that the alternator is charging and also put a booster pack on and see if it still does it as it could be a starter or ring gear problem. If it is a battery then all i can suggest is you buy the one that has the most CCA which is cold crank amps, as i looked into the oddysey batterys and i found that they had lees CCA than some of the others. AGM or dry cell are excellant but pricey.
  7. Without looking at the car we can only speculate as there are a number of thing s it could be. If you are running aftermarket turbos with an untuned (to your particular car setup then this could be the problem)a trial one is only going to be fine if your engine and turbo setup are the same as what it was originally mapped for. I would be checking the basics first fuel press,boost press, ignition timing at the revs you are talking about also make sure he has connected the ecu earth points correctly, check all coil packs as you can have a slight missfire which will not necessarily give you a seat of the pants miss but can limit revs.Amaru is correct they do not have a boost cut only speed cut. If your computer isn't mapped to your setup then on boost the AFM will not be sending the correct voltage and can adjust timing and fuel corrections dramatically.Also check for simple things like blocked Cat or muffler. If you get stuck pm me and i will have a look at it for you
  8. Can anyone help with pictures of their dry sump sump modifications. I am currently building a setup and have seen numerous setups but want to see an rb26 one that has been modified. I have read the previous posts on dry sumps but no pics were posted.
  9. Being a mechanic i see this happen a lot. A lot of the time it is just coincidence as usually the customer is looking for noises or problems closer when they get the car back. Usually the reason they quote you on a new one is so as they can warrant their work and they have less chance of it coming back, but the good ones will give you both options and just let you know that if you do buy secondhand there is a good chance that it also could be faulty. A lot of the earlier nissans did have faults with dry solders on the dashes and this is more than likely what it will be. If the problem comes back then pull your instrument cluster out and have it checked. I can check and resolder if this is the case. Did they fix the original problem of draining the battery?
  10. Due to upgrades i have some parts for sale as below. *720 cc Injectors in excellant condition and just cleaned. $600 SOLD *Brand new Blue anodised underdrive water pump pulley for sale $150 *Standard coil packs to suit GTR in excellant condition bought brand new 2yrs ago $200 SOLD *RB30 short motor ideal for twin cam conversion from sump to pistons just add your head was a good runner $200 Please pm for details or if your interested call me on 0422214621

  13. I am looking for a RB26 engine block either standard or bored out no more than 87.5. If you can help then either PM or my phone number is 0422214621 Regards Julian
  14. Due to an upgrade to a dry sump setup i am selling my existing sump setup. This consists of the large capacity Sump which is similar to the metalcraft one and also houses an aircraft Magnetic plug(you can remove this in 2 seconds without draining the oil $500 on its own), a custom baffle plate with slosh gates and the oil pickup which has a tomei extension shroud on it. It is all in excellant condition and the sump comes with the diff. I am after swapping for a standard sump plus $400.00 ono. This sump has been used on a genuine 1000hp engine and the only reason i am swapping is i don,t want to modify this sump to make my dry sump as someone can use this one. SOLD
  15. Yeah am very happy. Theres still a bit in it yet as at the moment i am maxed out on injectors and on my map sensors and i built it to sustain higher boost,so i'm pretty confident of about 800 at the tyres but 718 on its first few pulls is excellant,Will try to get a reading off a 4 wheel dyno as on the two wheel dyno its hard to get a good reading as wheel spin was evident due to the violence of the boost curve. How's your car going?Also what is the box at eds
  16. Hi everyone, Has anyone got a GTR gearbox they want to sell, either standard or modified as i have wounded mine on the dyno on the weekend. Regards Julian
  17. Hi guys, Im looking for some 17x8 9 or 10 inch rims to borrow for three days. dont mind paying some money but have been put on the spot as was told they could engineer my rims 17x10 and 12 1/2 but now my engineer says i can only engineer 10" maximum and my car is booked in for Tuesday, so i will need them asap so as i can measure and get it engineered before Tuesday. I have some stock Gtr 32 rims and tyres i can lend but need some 17"s so i can engineer it with 17"s Any help would be appreciated. You can contact me on 0422214621 Regards Julian
