You can spend the hours on the rods instead of Rand. Back in the bad old days, I spent many hours polishing ALFA rods and other things that it wasn't worth spending cubic $$ on new billet stuff for. And in those days, pre-Chinese manufacturing, anything aftermarket cost waaay too much anyway.

V36 Skyline Cabin Filter Replacement Diy
GTSBoy replied to KwS's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
It'll be the same as Maxima or Pathfinder or something equally shitful. -
Given that Whiteline have a poly bush kit (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Whiteline-Rear-Diff-Mount-Front-Bush-For-Nissan-Skyline-V35-V36-Stagea-M35/192741676619?fits=Model%3ASkyline&epid=1847214044&hash=item2ce04c964b:g:MS0AAOSwOI5dVAQV&frcectupt=true) available, I'd be sure that all the other usual suspects would too. Thus there should be no doubt that you can just flick the old Nissan elastogoosh bush and replace with something else.

Occasional Stalling After Manual Conversion
GTSBoy replied to Tosseef's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
Why are you laughing. The clutch switch and the neutral switch are used by (manual) ECUs to help inform them of what you are doing. This is particularly the case where you are rolling along with a non-zero speed in either neutral or in gear with the clutch depressed. The ECU will keep the idle speed higher, to make it easier to clutch out and get moving again. Lack of these inputs tends to be a significant contributor to the idle-drop-and-stall that often happens on half arsed conversions. Both these are hooked up on my auto-man converted R32. Was true using the original RB20 (auto) ECU and is also true using the RB25Neo (auto) ECU that is in it now. I can see the signals for them come on in Nistune. -
Occasional Stalling After Manual Conversion

You should wired up everything that should have been wired up to a manual. Neutral switch, clutch switch. Make sure the IACV is working, etc etc. -

Nissan R32 GT-R with a Ford Falcon Body
GTSBoy replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
It sounds so incredibly wrong! -
Nissan R32 GT-R with a Ford Falcon Body
GTSBoy replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Interesting. Seems like a kooky version of the VL that was built a million years ago, but with more room for tyre! Not sure if I would have left it as an RB26 though. Needs to be at least an RB30, or a VH conversion like Benny's Stagea. -
Rare original NISMO Bilstein Suspension
GTSBoy replied to Fastlane's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
The simple answer is that they are nothing "special". They are Bilstein dampers, which makes them very nice, capable dampers that last a long time, can work across a fairly wide range of spring rates and soak up a lot of bumpiness with good comfort levels. They're basically a B8 equivalent, I think. -
R34 Gtt Front caliper mounting bolt length ???
GTSBoy replied to shozbot's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Caliper ears are the same thickness, mounting flanges are the same thickness. I'd tell you what they are, but I'll have to take a wheel off, and that ain't happening until at least the weekend! -

Have you got a Skyline? Just go out and measure the ones on your car. Same same. -
Which type of Bee R rev limiter to get ?
GTSBoy replied to IM-32-FK's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
There is no inexhaustible supply of RB25DET Neo engines any more. Just sayin'. -
And the math is trival. 409.5 km? 50L? The process is 100*50/409.5 = 12.2 L/100km. And that is a perfectly fine consumption rate. More or less exactly what I got on my last tank. Of BP. Never use anything else. Even Shell 98 is not as good.

Installing CAN Wideband and IAT Position
GTSBoy replied to Blakeo's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Of course you can add to the main fusebox. But it really wants to be the sort of relay that actually fits in there, not some Autocheap/Superbarn Narva box. Same with fuse holders. You just have to get the stuff you need and put the effort in. Props for wanting to be neat and tidy about it. 99% of Skyline owners would just hang the new relay on 15' of wire and let it drag behind the car. -
Intending to remove Tapatalk support

I can't imagine using any forum** on a phone. Typing is balls on any touchscreen. ** Website in general, unless in desperate need to look something up. -
Take it to a workshop and get a trusted AFR meter stuffed up the tailpipe. You never trust a fresh install unless it matches something else that you trust. As to the boost.....~13 psi is what you'd expect. Maybe a bit more. As to the jerking. You need to run it with a fuel pressure gauge plumbed in and see what that says when it is playing up.

1990 R32 GTS-t aftermarket wheels
GTSBoy replied to BTEstep's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
There's only 1mm difference between the 17x9 37 and the 17x9 38. Was a self answering question. -
The hose is crimped onto the hardpipe ends. It's non-trivial to remove and refit.....unless you're at a hydraulics place.

GTSBoy replied to BTEstep's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
The fronts will fit just fine. The rears will also fit - I think. They will stick out 10mm more, which will likely end up with needing to roll the guards. I think the extra 15mm of wheel on the suspension side should clear everything. You won't be the first to have put 9" wheels on the back of an R32. -

240sx speedometer issues
GTSBoy replied to Jason062100's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
OK, so do some searching on here for the many words I have typed on the subject. Particularly you are looking for mentions of square wave and saw tooth and 0-1v and 0-5v and speedo and sender and so on. What I have written is largely true for R32s and R33s. I do not know anything about the S chassis speedos. I am under the impression that they used electronic senders and so they should work similarly to the R33 type stuff. But they may not. You should use what I have written on SAU as a primer to help get you started understanding how these things can work, and should use it is guidance for what to look for in how the S chassis stuff works. -
Hi, Welcome, and maybe goodbye? The classifieds are at https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/56-for-sale-private-whole-cars-only/ Read the rules, post good photos & good luck.

You could just remove the assembly and take it to a hydraulic hose shop and they could put on a new bit of hose in a few minutes. Obviously you would discuss this with them in advance and show them the picture and book a time to walk it in.... But it would save you the arse raping that you'll probably have to endure to buy the whole thing.
