    bell housing bolts - see their other listings for clutch bolts etc https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/nissan/gearboxes/listing-2200592497.htm?rsqid=d6e82041ecef4c5c84dcf5280fc20984-001

    Read the RB26 upgrade thread for ideas (and start at the end for some more modern set ups). And yes you can do better than a PFC this century. And check that your HKS exhaust does not shrink down to 2 1/2 in at the muffler.

    Is this the list you are thinking of getting or what is already installed?

    I'd bet quids on it being the wrong pistons. I have seen it done before (I think it was Dave B with his S2 who tried everything but ended up being an engine out job to fit another set of pistons) and it seems the correct pistons have to be a custom order as they are hard to find in stock anywhere. Do a compression test - that will cost you nothing and give you an instant answer

    Beautifully presented car - great colour choice!

    Why?

    And the answer to the OP's title is: why not?

    If you have a line going to the ecu its probably for a map sensor...assuming you have an aftermarket ecu

    Got a multimeter and a charger? Fully charge the battery, disconnect it it, measure the voltage and then retest after as long an interval as possible and see if it is holding the charge...or fully charge it and take it to a battery shop for testing.

    Disconnect the sensor overnight and see if it starts and runs ok. If the sensor is not sending a signal the ecu reverts to a cold start map which will work until you turn the engine off. A new sensor was about $30 from an auto electrician (its not a Nissan specific part) so not too hard to replace.

    Why?

    KiwiRS4T replied to Slap's topic in Introduce yourself

    I think the NZ site predated this one but it is almost moribund these days as most have gravitated to this site as it is now pretty much the worlds biggest source of information on Skylines, RBs, and related interests...

    Why?

    KiwiRS4T replied to Slap's topic in Introduce yourself

    Are you serious? As a rough guess I would say it stands for Skylines Australia ... the Kiwi site is SDU which stands for Skylines Down Under

    9000 rev/min was not dry sumped just well balanced with aftermarket small end bolts and tomei oil pump.
  13. KiwiRS4T
    How many RPM do you want ? 10 years ago RIPS was running 9000rpm boosted and has had some RB30s fully built at 10,000rpm. Extra capacity is the easiest way to make more power on an n/a engine

    I can get an R33 condenser for $50 It could cost up to $100 to post it but if you don't have any better options I can check to see if it is still for sale. I can't imagine the GTR having any special condenser ...unless anyone knows better... but if you are still in need post up the dimensions: H X W X D

    You don't need a tuner just a timing light (any mechanic should have one if you don't) and set the timing. I think its 20deg for an auto but check first.

    The desire to make a GT350 produce "pops" makes no sense.
  17. KiwiRS4T
    Or just get all of them cleaned and flow tested.

    Interesting to note that the Reebok car managed with the stock inlet manifold...

    On the S1 Stagea (R33 engine) the trans cooler looks like the one in the picture. On the S2 (neo engine) there is a proper trans cooler like the PWR kit (rectangular). So some of the S1 guys (such as SK) uprated the trans cooler and used the original one for the power steering.

    Don't go crazy - just ring the guys at Lifestyle Store.

    You need a heat exchanger in the radiator because its primary function is to raise the temperature of the atf to optimum operating temperature and only when that is exceeded will it act as a cooler.. Some cars will not change into top gear until this happens (not sure about your particular car). If you really are going to convert to manual soon then just take your radiator to a radiator shop and get it repaired. The tiny cooler out front will not do very much on its own. In my case I just got a bigger (thicker) OEM type radiator and when I went manual just blocked off the heat exchanger. If you are going for serious power then you will probably run an oil cooler anyway.

    Jaycar used to sell a speedo correction unit - a box inserted in the signal to speedo. But by how much are you going to increase the rolling circumference? Speedos read fast anyway. A small increase may just result in your speedo reading more accurately.
  23. KiwiRS4T
    Good job. Remember to avoid the guy that quoted you $1750!

    A Skyline is more of a hobby than a means of transport so if you are bored with it move on! As a former truck driver I can never understand why people buy a little truck for private use instead of a more comfortable car but if you are the hunting , shooting, fishing type of person who actually goes off road then a proper 4wd would be more use than a Skyline. If you want a ute then Toyota is still the best although the Isuzu D Max is also pretty bullet proof. Have you considered the likes of a Subaru Forester?
  25. KiwiRS4T
    Wow I'm surprised it runs at all with stock ECU! Have you been able to ascertain what turbo, injectors etc you have? Got an ECU in mind? It would be great to be able to drive the Nurburgring in anything - but your own built Skyline would be fantastic!
