what makes you so sure its lifters, or should i say a lifter?

lol.........

isn't that the afm dry solder problem.........thought I read it somewhere. There's a DIY on here on how to fix it too I think. Cos I could be wrong.

costs stuff all on ebay

and make sure its a genuine 3071/3076 otherwise you will be back here with a long face and asking more questions about lack of power etc etc

bump

Thats a lot of NOS!!!!

Run some fuel through it in a bucket or something.

^^^+1 Wow only happens once or twice a year, you can use power every day = spend $$$ on power and leave wow to wankers. And I'd be careful of ebay specials, unless you know what your buying you'll throw a lot of good $$$ away learning. Not sure of your location otherwise everyone would be giving you shop names to go to. How much are you paying for the TK Gtst out of interest???

I'd be checking your fuel system: pump - is it an original? is it working OK earth to pump voltage at pump FPR fuel filter before I started on anything else. maybe even get a mechanic to test the fuel pressure? takes all of 5 minutes to do, easy as.

I just purchased an RB25 head with the VCT mod done on it, I would like to think I'm a mind reader, but I have trouble reading my own so i know that talent isn't in me Long way from being ready yet though.......still have rods, pistons, oilpump, gaskets, seals, all things ARP etc etc etc to get yet, but havean RB30 and a head now so its a start. No rush though, my 25 is still going strong.

As interesting as this discusion on mapping is...........can I get/are there any more fuel consumption figures out there??? Our is everyone sacrificing them for outright power??? I would have thought that a 400rwkw RB25/30 would get around 12/100km on a long trip. But still interested to find out - maybe I have to go to the VL forums?

I've got a bit of land we can bury the remains on if you need it!!!! I sometimes reckon the cowboys got it right............hang 'em high. Scum like that are never ever any good, never work out and will always be creating misery, better to cull. BTW kill switches are the best thing you can do, won't help if they have a flatbed, but stops all the lowlifes, they go looking for an easier mark.

Hi all, I need the plastic seat cover for a passenger side R33 GTR seat. The one on the door lower side that has the recline lever and large knob going through it. Prefer as new condition. I'll post up a pic of my smashed one [thanks to a certain explosive courier company]. Please PM me.

Sold to me!!

seats sold

Wow such hard arses.......lol like a spider strolling onto a meatant nest.......all over it!!! BTW buy a turbo radford, you could probably get one off the electric ones on ebay [don't do that, it was a jk]

The big diff is, if we f**k it up we have no one to go to to get it sorted. Have to put it on a trailer and then tow it 200km. Plus its not like you have a mate round the corner that knows how to do it and can show you. No safety net. If we were to learn, we would be self taught and then some! and mistakes could be expensive. Last thing you want to do is have to sell your car on Carsales - needs a tune!!! Plus, I got a dyno + tune and it works so why muck it up? I'd like to tune my own and have been considering getting a wideband and knock sensor, but then I'd need to use it, so on hold for now.......if anyone moves to town with the right skills, I'd probably do it. Until then I stick to the mechanical stuff.

Apologies to all if I gave the wrong impression>>> I don't do a shitload of highway kilometres - I never ever said half the stuff I'm told I did..........but when I go somewhere I travel. If you do 1500km in a weekend and you fill up every 500km, it makes a big difference to filling up every 300km. Both in cost and ability to make the next town or having to splash and dash all the time because the next town is just beyond your limit. The above two issues are the difference between doing 1,000km in 10-12 hours or 15-18 hours. Happy or miserable, relaxed or worn out etc etc. Well I do do a shitload, but mainly in my work vehicle. But I guess this has influenced my private/weekend driving a bit. And I don't want a fuel miser, really just wanted to know what the fuel rate was and if it was affected much. I'm not trying to save heaps, don't want to sacrifice power, but I'm not going mega power either. I guess I just want a normal cruise machine - but a Skyline with some extra.

If it has tinware covers over it then its probably standard. All the name brand hiflows are usually bare, and stainless. Do a search on hiflow cats and you will find pics of metalcat, catco etc

^^ yep, I reckon your injectors are wide open? maybe a wiring issue?

Because he lives in a land far far away!! They say it at the start of the movie. So the kingdom is called Far Far Away. Nice backdrop for the photo of the GTR BTW.

define 'boot carpet'.........is it just the boot mat or trim as well?

Logic [not always so logical sometimes] made me think that you would hold your cruise speed = energy better esp. going up hills or into headwind. And for the sort of average usage I'm asking everyone to quote on [say on a +500km trip] you will at some stage experience both cross/head wind and hills. And I'm not sure about flats/plain driving either. I know that some big bore conversions can actually see fuel efficiency eg 253 to 308, and many motorbike ones as well [i have a 750/1000 and my fuel economy has marginally increased with it. And no I'm not wanting Corolla efficiency - just not a 350 Chev Hotrod guzzler either. As long as you get acceptable economy then its all good. The ability to be able to drive for 4-5 hours before you fill up is a damn good thing when towns [and good fuel] are spaced out in our sunburnt land. Just my thoughts anyway.....

You have fuel running into a cylinder [as I understand it from cranking it all the time?] and if it doesn't burn then it will run down past the rings and into the sump. Rings aren't made to seal against fuel, if you've been idling it and its a new motor, I'd be worried. And with the leaking fuel washing the oil and bearings and anything else it gets to I'd be worried about that as well. Maybe a freshen up is needed, otherwise a long tow [or down hill] in gear with the spark plugs out and the fuel turned off using new oil????
