bah havent had that problem yet driving the line, gotta agree with the jealousy thing, and it only seems to be the young bogan cockheads which have no jobs and also drive there cars that there daddys buy them which say sh!t,

Paid today via CBA should be there wthin 2 days Cheers Adam

Yeah not wrong just gotta track down where i can get it done, will wait for a while ive bypassed the heater now so is all good no more leaks

will pay on monday next week

Cheers mate, think ill go with the bypass trick had a look at the guide and not looking forward to pulling entire dash out, so ill bypass it tommorow, can someone confirm a couple of things for me, According to the bypassing guide, they used a inner hose of diameter @21mm, is it possible just to join the hoses with two barbs and another hose, if so what would the diameter of the barbs be, would they be the same at 21 mm, or go for 20 mm barbs to really clamp the b@sterd of the thing down Stupid bloody heater thing, lucky not so needed up here in QLD as much as down south, also after this i need to source a wet carpet cleaning service, so they can wash the carpet or a self service carpet cleaner similar to the one at 8 mile plains carlovers but i think that one is out of service STIl|LL last time i checked it was. or on another note would it be worth while to replace the underlay/sound deading stuff with new stuff or let it dry? as far as i know ethylene glycol substances are acidic? ie. radiator fluids, Cheers Adam

Need help on this issue cant seem to find if it has been done bought up or anything using the search, so hear we go n e way, leaking coolant behind heater box need to know how others have fixed this problem and how long does it take, only started 2 days ago and noticed today, carpets all wet which is pretty shit, if someone can help me asap and if a DIY on how to fix this problem, would be great and handy Thanks

Count me in also on this deal, pm details when the go ahead starts

Thanks Dan will try tommorow when i can see Cheers

F@%k is there a possibility i dont have one, coz i can not find one on my car, where its meant to be on the plenum, its missing, well theres nothing attached to the scew hole, most likely removed when the previous owner installed IC piping all i know is there is a brass T-Piece assuming that this might be it that has replaced the ARV hmmm now how the bleep am i going to bleed the air from that? Any Suggestions

I have a slight problem out of all things ive got air trapped somewhere in the radiator lines and as far as i know i need to find the air release valve, but havent got the foggiest of where it is, ive looked got service manuals and still cant find the bloody thing, Im assuming the rb25det does have one aswell, but if someone can help me out that would be great on the location via a picture of their own, as i seem to cant find one on mine. Cheers adam

Ahh cheers guys this is some good responses which are coming through, and decided on what i will be doing

Do you recommend that this should be under the FI quick reference guide so other users that may want to follow these things are able to easily find out the answer? MODS?

Ahh cheers mate

Ahh good ol japs, you gotta admit at least they get things right, so col how did you go with matty spry get a hold of him yet, whats his opinion on this regard Cheers

Thanks for your input carl well seems to be fairly interesting on that note, i would of expected more out of cometic but obviously not so im guessing the same would be for the leading brands "HKS and tomei" head gaskets would be along with the cometic on this aswell, What about install, worth the hassel to do it my self or go get a techy to do it for $600 +? What about the saftey margins on CR stock been the stock CR or best to lower it for tunings sake. So far seems to be the keep it stock. Cheers

Let us know how you go col at least it might shed sum light on this topic? Cheers

True on a couple of points that i see here, yes being a street car and only looking to achieve the 250-260 rwkws mark even though i would most likely adhere to racers advise on this one "By droping the CR it would most likely achieve a lower knock level and also a saftey margin for future instances", internal work as such, well failure can come at anytime anywhere by anymeans as every motor is different and even though maybe different in small areas they are still different. How i look at it is that if $1000 is going to save $5300 of rebuilding the motor well what option would be best to take, and also being the head gaskets dont really vary in difference in cost well why not the metal ones? I guess a range of thicknesses and what compression they drop the motor would be good to see on this as well, 1.0mm = ? CR 1.2mm = ? CR 1.4mm = ? CR 1.6mm = ? CR 1.8mm = ? CR 2.0mm = ? CR Im not doubting at all on the CR and the power that you are making at all Bezerk, and im not doubting that you can run standard nissan headgasket for such figures, but this maybe the case for a select few, also as you did say at the end it does come down to tuning at the end of the day. Besides actually doing any internal work well at this stage im going from scratch hence why im only doing the head gasket and not say pistons rings bearings rods which may or may not happen later on down the track, so this im looking more a safe guard in why i would go metal headgasket, I guess also the more imput that comes from this will clearly show people which is the best and safer option all in the upper power range. And also on the path ofhead gaskets? Should i do it myself save $700 + or take it to "professionals" and has anyone else done it them selves "trobles dificulties?" Thanks for input so far guys Adam

anyone with anything?

Starters im doing project on the s1 r33 gtst Maybe complete hopfully by Dec this year maybe sooner project to finances Following are two lists one that ive got ready to go on and the other what ive already got on List of mods to go in so far: HKS 3037 Pro S Internal gated Turbo .68 housing yes i know small housing but thats what i got with it (Got it) Bosch 040 Fuel pump (Got it) Heavy duty clutch obviously (Soon sept i hope) 555 High flowed injectors (Got them) Gates Strong Timing belt (Got it) Catch Can (Later) Z32 AFM (Soon) <<--- Will Get this when i forsee a goahead date on project Projecting for (250 to 260 rwkws) We will see Cams been an issue but will happen much later 2007 What i have on there at the moment Apexi pfc Hybrid EBC 3" Front/dump Standart Series 1 Turbo Cat I dunno what type this is if someone can pic a standard for me that would be good so i can see yes or no 3.5" cat back to tip Coilovers(Soon be pissing these off one day) Standard Injectors. Standard Manifold Running :178.9 rwkw (Before front/dump pipe install) Now the question to be asked Head gasket as i ahve asked once before Ok i got two sides here brands vs thicknesses Ive heard that all i really need is the cometic metal standard thickness gasket, but yet ive seen people use metal gaskets with 1.2 to the range 1.6 mm head gasket, Now for cometic standard assuming it is 1.0 mm would it not hurt to go 1.2mm to all a little compression ratio difference say lower it for what i am aiming for or will standard be best suited for needs, im looking for the idea what would be best suited for my project also looking at the assurance for long term use out of motor, Also the next question would be part numbers anyone got some part numbers for the cometics for standard bore size? Also another question would be, worth while taking on the challenge and do it myself and install the head gasket, the obvious thing here being that when i do firstly i would have clutch in and secondly i would install all the other components at the same time, and thirdly would have it towed to be tuned aswell, so risk of something going wrong minimized, or take it to someone to be done "Professionally" benefits of doing myself well at least i would save and 2ndly i would learn more about my motor. Another question would be aswell who and where on southside or brisbane would be best to take it to for this to be done and costs if professionally would be best. Dan is probably always too busy I guess an imput from people who have done this would be good as well on time dificulties involved in the removal and fitment of head gasket Also would it be worth while to do the bolt upgrades to stronger ARP ones for the head? If i do this myself i will do a D.I.Y Guide for it if peole want it if it hasnt been done yet. OFFTOPIC to metal Head Gasket: Change manifold to stainless or stick with stock for time been Awell Personal Opinions thoughts answers ideas all welcome (The other thing is all parts that are taken off will be also sold off on the forums) Cheers Adam

All sold thankyou mods close this thread

How much for the oil/water lines and dump seperate buys if you are willing to seperate Cheers Adam

The sub is still for sale, and holding for reply for Rach, if they want it, or its still up for grabs Cheers Adam

haha yeah good one with the rag! The best fuel economy so far i have ever had 45L to 4.8 Kms woohoo yeah we can only hope the karma catches up with them. But mind u the thing which can possibly sh!t me off more would be if they do it again to my car, and yeah i did have an alarm but for some fkd up reason it was on valet mode not happy bout that

Last night around the 0230 am mark my skyline was attempted to be broken into by petty ass farkers in the early hours of friday morning, attempted through passenger side door by prying the door handle off and trying to get into through the cables, (UNSUCCESSFULL) mind you though causing 800 dollars damage as the handle and lock assembly is buggered and also that there are numerouse dents and bends around the door latch/handle where they tryed with screwdrivers but just a warning, as this seems to be a common thing around the rochedale underwood area close to the BP service station on logan road in underwood, So be aware that if you have a car around this area be concious of petty farkers going around doing these things. not only that they pried the fuel door open and stole the fuel cap and drained a full tank of fuel, and alsodid the car which was right next to mine. Just a general warning to any skyline owners out there or other cars for that matter around that region to be aware of these type of pricks Cheers Adam

I couldnt agree any more on the statement, hence why i would be asking, as i have never seen this brand name before, but as you stated typical cheap ebay crap would not surprise me the least cheers guys
