  1. thanks for the replies and comments guys this board is actually more helpful than my native uk GTR owners board...tut tut.... thanks aagain gonna go with large last muffler i think
  2. not a bad idea, and thanks for the reply, but id rather have something that i wouldnt have to keep control over. maybe just a normal back box could be the answer any other idea?
  3. Carbon Fibre Eyelids, HELP ME!! if your looking to put eyelids on a skyline, then the help you need can only be sort from a professional lol
  4. bonnets ok i suppose ; ) got the same on my gtr32, but had it painted white to match car when it had full respray
  5. Firstly, for those that care, i havent been on this site since my engine lost oil pressure at 120kmph and became very growly. It turned out to be the oil pump gear had collapsed. So, without further ado, the engine was stripped and all damaged parts were replced with mainly hks parts. The car was also treated to 2 brand new hybrid turbos which were cheap like the budgie wink wink , a "race spec" exedy paddle clutch and many other upgrade parts, chipped and remapped. It was then rolling roaded at 436hp fly 395 lbs torque. Car has also had full professional respray. After much head scratching and interesting reading on the net (mainly written by Garrett race research development technicians, i went with a straight through custom made stainless "race spec "3 1/2 inch exhaust which has mandrel bends. The problem is its loud. Its so loud that i hate it. Its horrible on tick over and normal driving, but sounds awesome, like a jet fighter on boost. My question is Is there any way of quieting down the exhaust while on tick over/normal driving and let it rip on boost? Theres got to be something about??????? was thinking a spring loaded flap or similar??? carl
  6. oil pressure release valve in the collar. in the collar???? from what i can see from the technical diagrams ive looked at, this magical collar i keep hearing so much about, is an "add on" for the gtr32 crank....and if this is what you mean, it doesnt have a pressure spring i havent had chance to look at it yet, but the chances are the oil pump has sheared the outer gear teeth, and pump has stopped,.. hence absolutely no oil pressure at all...
  7. hmmmm.....this is very helpful... well,....the reason he is a moron is as follows.... in the uk we have 3 lanes 1st lane is for slow moving vehicles ie lorries, cars towing trailers/caravans 2nd lane is for over taking said vehicles. 3rd lane is only used if absolutely needed he was in 2nd lane, and driving slower than the minimum speed limit, and there was no vehicles in the "slow lane" hence,...he was a moron.... so, now i ve answered your question, maybe you can answer mine.... carl
  8. any ideas. On motor way put foot down to over take a moron, light comes on pull over, growling noise no oil pressure. No smoke etc. . . carl
  9. how do blackjet... iirc the r33gtr will do 0-62 in 5.2... but thats from factory as new,....
  10. also, why does it say RB20E on the left where my profile is????
  11. Sometimes I can read something a million times and it still wont stick or make sense til I just bust one open and take a looksie. by far THE quickest way to learn anything,... thats how i started off, now repair turbochargers for all vehicles all over the uk if there is anything i can help with drop an mail, and ill try my best : ) carl
  12. hello again,... the land of oz has been long recognised for the tuning and raceheritage of many different cars,... i was wondering if anyone knew of quick tuning methods... dont the restrictor on the pcm valve, and feels soooo much more responsive and brutal... any more?????? thanks carl www.GBTurboSolutions.org.uk
  13. hello to all, have been trying to find a good skyline forum for ages now here in the uk, but none seem to want to help when posting. so, hopefully you guys will show more enthusiasm than in the uk many here seem to own gtr's as a status symbol, rather than having a passion for the marque so lets see.... carl G.B Turbo Solutions
