  1. Yeah i was talking about side intrusion bars, pretty sure mine doesn't have any such modifications, i was under the impression it was imported under the 15 year rule, but i thought that meant no compliance had been carried out? You probably know more than me having owned both an early and a late model. I have no idea how much mine weighs, but my point was more that i quite like having a early 'original' model, especially compared to ones that have had side indicators stuck on.

  2. Yeah absolutely, (this is assuming Gtr and Gts-t are the same) but it's just on the right hand side of the passenger footwell (up under the dash a little), After i fixed the thing that diverts the air to different areas (because that also wasn't working when i got the car) i actually ended up disconnecting it again as the climate control deciding where it wants to direct the air by itself as you change the temperature was pissing me off so much. Now i just reach under the dash (can be done while driving, as this one is in a similar position but on drivers side) and manually shift it to windscreen or face, slightly less convenient but way less annoying 

  3. Out of curiosity how did you get the other part of the canister off the car? I also had the unscrewing in half problem (although i realised before I completely unscrewed it) which i thought would be pretty dangerous if the canister actually had pressure in it, why wouldn't you make it a left hand thread if it had to be 2 piece, anyway I machined up a giant socket to remove the whole thing as one piece

  4. Finally received my renewal notice, just a casual 20% increase. Pretending i knew nothing I called them up to get an explanation as to why this was so, they told me what i already knew (from this thread). Apparently they don't consider skylines to be classic anymore, Unfortunately there was no negotiating to be done, pretty average..........:down:

  5. This isn't my car, but here is an example of one sticking out:

    note how the boot touches the ram part of the slave cylinder

    now here is a example of boot going in:

    now your going to say, well of course it's the second photo look how much better that is, but there just seems to be alot of sticky out boots out there (50% going by the pictures i could find).

     

     

  6. Hey guys, my R32 never had a clutch fork boot, i i finally got round to putting one in..........I assumed like most others i have seen that the boot protruded outwards from the bellhousing, however when i installed it like this it just didn't look right (to my eyes anyway) so i had a look around and in pretty much 50% of the pictures i could find it's sticking out and the other 50% it's facing inwards. I turned it around and inwards definitely seems better, but can someone who knows for sure, or has a mint unmolested GTR have a look for me and let me know...i just want it to be right........

     

    Thanks

  7. If i jack my car up all 4 wheels off the ground and flick the switch on my 4wd controller to 2wd (same as pulling the fuse) I still get some front wheel rotation however nothing on the torque split gauge and you can grab the front wheels and hold them stationary. flick the switch back to 4wd however and as soon as the clutch it let out torque gauge will show some reading and front wheels won't let themselves be stopped.

    My Guess is your 4wd isn't engaging at all, hence the light being on on the dash.

  8. Regulator thing on fuel pump

    Hey all, i'm putting a new fuel pump into my r32, my question relates to the thing that looks like a fuel pressure regulator that sits in the tank with the pump.

    My car already had a Bosch 044 installed and this regulator thing was missing, i'm putting in a Walbro, what does this regulator do, and does it matter that i haven't got one???

    Car never had any problems with the way it was setup with the 044

     

    Thanks in advance.
