    Correct. + the internal parts (shifter sealing boot, console trim,). Probably need to either put the manual gearbox side loom back in or unf**k whatever was done the original one.

    Have you got the globe holders? Not much good without them. Otherwise they just go where any other 32GTR headlight went.

    That's interesting. There's less going on inside there than I might have imagined. From experience with trying to make similar things have decent distribution, I thought they might have some lumps and bumps on the floor &/or roof.

    Plenty have done it and plenty say it's fine. Many of those engines may have died, and you wouldn't hear about it if the plenum distribution was to blame because then the person who claimed it was fine would have proven themselves wrong. But....I must stress, I don't know that it's not fine. I only have very strong suspicion that it's not, because those plenums are not set up to receive air for all 6 cylinders from the front end. The internal shapes are set up to receive it from the side. I'm enough of an aerodynamicist to be very leery of that. And I have never seen anyone report on 6x EGT probe results showing that it is fine. On that basis, I simply wouldn't do it. I'd be less worried about the various large plenums that bolt onto the bottom half, because at least they are simply big arse volumes on top of the runners, with no odd internal shapes to interfere.

    I'm in two minds about this. But my paranoid mind is winning and suggests that you dun f**ked up and you'd better get another shell. I don't like the idea of a sharp edged hole in the coating.

    I think if you left a freshly restored 510 in a climate controlled shed next to an unrestored AE86 the Nissan would still find a way to rust faster.

    Depends on how big the bullet is. But, I guess the answer is a qualified yes.

    Legislating for stupidity doesn't make it right.

    Sandwich plate is the key to box strength. It cuts down on the flex in the housings that allow gears to change position relative to each other, etc etc blah blah yada yada.

    The Nissan.

    Autronic SMC is quite old. But it was a top notch ECU in its day, rivalling Motec for quality and capability. Your only real issue will be whether there is someone comfortable with tuning it. You might have to do a little research.
  12. GTSBoy
    Nope. Brembo caliper 324mm rotors are only 30mm thick.

    The R34 TCU is in the ECU. And that's fine, because it doesn't matter - it will run a manual trans engine happily. You're going manual right? Because if you're not, punch yourself in the face and start again. If you use the R34 ECU you WILL want to get Nistune installed in it, because you will want to kill the error codes caused by not having the right ABS and TCS systems installed in the car. And you WILL want to tune it. All of which, happily, Nistune enables for you.

    No, the wiring is not the same. There are differences at various sensors. The Neo has a boost sensor for the ECU that the vanilla 25 doesn't. You need the R34 loom and the R34 ECU.

    Yup 1600 2 door. Datto's equivalent to the AE86 in terms of fanboi desirability & hence cost.

    Every time I hire a car it takes about a week before I notice that the thing even turns a camera on and shows a blurry f**ked out view of what's behind me when I engage reverse gear. That's because I'm already doing the right thing by looking backward before I engage reverse to make sure there's nothing behind me.

    No, he was hanging shit on Dose Pipe.

    Haha. When did you discover the D-K effect? About 2 hours ago on PF?

    I am thinking about the future. I'm thinking of a future where everybody looks like the meat pillows in the Wall-E movie. They're almost there now. Can't do a google search without having Siri or Alexa stand between you and the nasty internet to handle your query. Can't buy anything if it involves using a phone as a voice communication device - has to be on-line. Can't navigate the roads of their own city without eyes glued to the blue line on the phone screen at eye level above the dashboard. Can't cook, have to use Uber-eats. Can't reverse a car without beepy sensors or screens showing alignment lines, or worse, auto f**king self parking faggotry. /rant

    However, for an NA VQ engine, the VLSD will possibly be good enough most of the time. You will get a better drive from a mech LSD, but unless you're having big single wheel sessions with the VLSD, then it is doing 90% of what you want. And this is coming from someone who usually shits on VLSDs from a great height, because once they are older or confronted with an RB with extra boost they just open up and are shit.

    Reversing cameras should be banned. People should learn to drive properly, which includes turning you head around to look behind you when you're reversing. FFS! It's not a 3t van with no rear windows.

    Try a pressure bleeder. Clutches are simple, and shouldn't need it, but it does sound like hydraulic failure.

    You need a Consult scan tool or equivalent first. Codes can tell you a lot. Not finding the ATTESA computer on the network at all is diagnostic in itself!

    R230 is definitely stronger than the R200. And extra inch on any diff is a good thing. It's bigger and heavier though, so the real question is whether you need the strength. Plenty of R200s putting down large amounts of torque. I think the stub axles are probably the same items, although I haven't seen them side by side to compare. I can;t see any reason for Nissan to do "a Nissan" and make them different just for the sake of it. The GTR 6 bolters are large compared to other R200 stubs. The GTR CVs are probably again, the same thing as the Z32 turbo 6 bolters. No reason for them to be different. Again, for what it's worth, the 5 bolt CVs from other Skylines are quite strong and the 3x2 bolters on S13s etc, despite being only tripod joints and not proper CVs, are not all that much weaker anyway.
