  1. interested still have them? Can you send pics with the comp cover showing to confirm - would like a look. Then will meet up to inspect. PM if you want.
  2. thanks for the kind words guys - i'll make sure I keep an eye out in future. Not that any justification needs to made here, but that thread was deleted and deemed inappropriate simply for the interests of the owner of the car. It was also deemed inappropriate that the # plates be plastered up for everyone to see. He made a mistake, if he broke the law, he has, or will be paying the consequences. I dont know the car, or the owner, but having made my own mistakes in a vehicle, I know how gutted i'd feel if some wank3r with a camera plastered shots all over the internet with it - specially when no one really knows the circumstances of how it happened. What I do find funny is how you SAU members have all these ideas it was removed because its an "embaressment" to Silvias. I drive a GT-R, I respect a fat Silvia as much as any import lover, but i'm far from trying to hide bad examples of their driving - nor do I take offense to examples of skyline accidents, apart from the stereotype it creates. Its a pity, on face value the majority of SAU seems to be such a close knit and ignorant bunch. I've never felt welcome here, hence why I dont really bother with this site. And believe me, i'd much rather be hanging out with Skyline brethren. Nisskid on his high horse with NS....mate, do us all a favour, if its so unproffessional, just dont come on the site. Your posts wont be missed
  3. Workshop has 32/33/34 harmonic balancers there to compare - ill find out for sure. How do you explain that the OEM P/S pully work then, but changing to a new pully kit doesnt?
  4. the car is a complete and untouched series 3, so I am skeptical that it has an R32 RB26 Harmonic balancer. Down at the workshop today I was comparing it to an R32 RB26 engine which was out of the car, and the balancer looks slightly different. I also looked at 2 other R32 GT-R engines and both had differently shaped power steering pully's compared to each other As the start of the pully sits inside of a sleeve on the P/S pump, i'm getting some billet alluminium machined up to space it, instead of using washers. Ill let you know how I go.
  5. Would have thought these damn things would be bolt on though, everything you need comes in the kit. Looks like washers are the go then.
  6. thanks mate - think I will have to try doing the same thing
  7. pity I cant read Japanese - no doubt the instruction book would clarify all this in an instant. Only problem I see with adding spacers would be lack of thread for the bolt after the pully to hold it on.
  8. thanks for the reply mate.... very interesting. Do we have them fitted wrong or is Trust wrong? Trust is always on the money with their parts - I just cant understand how these could be the wrong fit. It seriously does not look like it will fit the other way around though...
  9. Yeah the Hitachi alternator was Series 1 GT-R, possibly Series 2. I have a Series 3 - with a Mitsubishi alternator. That pully is fine on the alternator, as is the waterpump pully. Yeah one other mechanic from a GT-R garage made the same comment - that the pully is on back to front. But the GReddy logo is only on the front of them. Instruction book also shows facing outwards. Wouldnt think the GReddy logo would face forwards on the other two pully's and not for the power steering pully? Either way, I think i'm going to have to pull it off on the weekend and try and sus out if it will fit on the other way round. If that doesnt work i'm hoping the old one will fit back on ok. I'll really be in the poo if the original one does the same thing once fitted!
  10. I thought this too, however its a dead match for the OEM pully taken off, and the offset of the pully appears perfect so it misses the High Pressure line of the pump coming over the front of it, and also sits pefectly over another bolt behind it and infront of the face of the pump
  11. Heya guys, I recently had a GReddy Pully Kit fitted to my R33 GT-R. After a week of being on the road, the belt for the power steering pump pully has slipped what I would say is approx 1/4 of the belt width off of the pully. This is quite concerning and I obviously want to get it fixed. Can anyone shed any light as to how this has happened? A few things I will clarify so it doesnt need to be asked: Pully kit is definately BCNR33 RB26DETT - I bought the parts myself, got the original box, original instructions - everything is BCNR33 RB26DETT with Mitsubishi Alternator pully variant Pully kit is definately installed the correct way around - exactly like the picture shows in the instruction book. It was installed by a "performance" workshop while I was doing the timing belt and water pump at the same time. Some pics: I noticed when I first saw the pully kit installed that belt was at an odd angle, but stupidly I didnt think much about it at the time. The belt in its "off" position now appears to be dead square with the engine, so where the belt is now appears to be exactly where it should be. Its just the pully doesnt match its position! What I dont know is if the installer has missed putting something on, or if it does run at an odd angle and it requires a bucketload of tension to put on it during the installation. I will be speaking to the installer this week to ask, but I dont know how much tension was put on when it was done. Does anyone know if its as simple as a part has been missed when installed? The washer and bolt after the pully match perfectly to the end of the thread for the pump, so I cannot work out what is wrong here, unless Trust have given me the wrong part in the kit? Cheers for any help anyone can give...
  12. I just measured the box, its 1.7 meters Nengun wont send this to Australia unless you organise DHL
  13. as I understand it, as it is a "track" system, not the "street/circuit" model - the pipe connects straight to the end of the Front pipe - thus no cat pipe is required at all to make up this length. However I wont know for sure until I go to fit it. Be careful with ordering this exhaust from Nengun - The box it comes in is pictured back on page 1, its bloody big! there is no way you can EMS a box this size. The only way to airfreight would be DHL - initial quotes we were looking at to use DHL to airfreight this from Japan was in the region of $500+ so this rapidly increases the cost of the exhaust... Trent's price at autobarn is insanely cheap - it must be 30 or 40 % below cost price - any stores here in Adelaide I spoke to about ordering this exhaust was $2k to get it for me. Sponsors on NS/SAU quoted me about $1800. The price listed on Trust website I think equates to about $1200/$1300, so when you factor in airfreight and import duty ontop of this, I was pretty happy to get mine all up for $1600
  14. yes I chose the 90mm model - as trent said, for the 33 GT-R it also available in 80mm. I think this carries through for most of the other car models offered. There is no centre muffler or resonator at all - just straight pipe. No doubt with silencer removed it will be an extremely loud system when the engine is on boost. The total weight of the system is less than 5kg. I weighed the centre pipe which connects from the tail section to the front pipes, and its only 1kg! here is a pic of the centre section pipe and better view of the back section. I put up alot of pictures for a reference if anyone on here is interested - I found it very frustrating when I was trying to get more info on it before ordering - there is very little available photo's on the net for this system.
  15. yes its going on my RB26DETT too was Kat's the 90MM system? I'm also using the Trust MX front pipes edit: trolley jack lever did the trick thanks Trent
  16. hmmm would it be rapped up with the rear cradle brace thing? I've looked in the box that came with it, all it had was gasket, another brace, an instruction book and a JASMA certificate - no T piece I think Ok, so it is designed to come out - thats good I wont damage it trying to remove it - thats the main thing I needed to know!
  17. there is allen bolts around the side of it yes - my friend undid these on his in an attempt to remove it but his didnt want to budge. do you mean these things? :
  18. Hey guys, I just received my Trust Titanium system today for my BCNR33. The overall finish of the system is outstanding - and I am very happy with what I have got. However I have a question about the muffler that I cant find an answer to anywhere on the net. Would probably help if I could read Japanese It is a 90mm system with I think 110mm tip, however inset to the edge of the end of the system, is a very narrow exhaust passageway. It almost looks like a silencer... I can see straight through it all way to the end of the actual main exhaust pipe - so it is very hollow, however I am concerned about why it is such a narrow exit for the exhaust? I have never seen this style except for when a cone silencer is installed in a normal cannon exhaust. This probably makes no sense so I have a couple photos to show what I mean. This is the end of the system - looks normal Until you look inside:
  19. whats the story with the dumps - do these mount directly to stock R33 GT-R RB26DETT turbines? I have slight concern as I think I read somewhere that normal "splitter" style dumps that work on garrett based turbines can cause Trust turbines with internal wastegates to jam as Trust wastegates open in the opposite direction to garrett? I believe one performance shop also told me I could not get GReddy dumps to fit stock RB26 turbines for this reason. However I could be completely wrong? Can you please list the part # for these dumps so I can check into it. Edit = just checked on nengun - there are specific part #'s for these, so i'm assuming you cannot interchange these inbetween 32/33/34
  20. thats pretty much exactly it. The increase in the number of imports being stolen in recent months around Adelaide is enough to testify to this. Can you tell me how publically posting the parking locations of these vehicles provides any help in the security of them? Other spotted threads on other forums have rules - one of which is dont post known parking locations.
  21. you do realise you are effectively posting a shopping list of cars & their locations for would be theives? I'd be pissed if you were posting the parking location of my car....
