  1. umm yeah, they were probably removed with the brake lines. they are short hard lines with male fittings at both ends which would allow the female at the caliper and the female at the braided line to mate up
  2. well...doing that wouldn't be street legal, but if you mean for track use....yes, you can just vent the cam covers to atmosphere, preferably through a decent sized catch can and also add a small filter on the exit to stop anything getting sucked back in.
  3. But longer than standard studs will make re-installation harder and is not necessary
  4. Yes. The nismo 2 way is a standard gtr centre with extra friction plates. Crown wheel will swap from a standard gtr diff
  5. pressing them out is better for the bearing, but the skyline ones are pretty good in the first place, not like an old falcon or something. I've done it with a hammer a few times and had no issue.
  6. do what this man says, he knows. and welcome back to the forums
  7. but also, it's reasonably clear if you have it on the wrong side, it needs to have some tension on it
  8. above, according the to 32 gtr service manual
  9. Yes, pretty much everyone has to do this as the 32 bearings and synchros are not available any more. There are some small parts that are stronger in the series 3 (not series 1-2) r33 boxes which help with gear shifting. BTW you can use the r33 box, it bolts straight in. You re-use your 32 gearbox speed sender, and you would be changing to a pull type clutch instead of push. Alternatively you can swap the 33 box to suit a push clutch by changing from front plate of the gearbox, the carrier, fork and pivot to the stuff from your 32 box. I run a converted 33 box in my 32 race car. But there is no difference with the gears or their strength, so depending on what you've broken (or are trying not to break) it may not make any difference.
  10. Give Trish or Terry a call at Award Gearbox and Diff in Sydney, they do millions of these and know exactly what they are looking at.
  11. Whereabouts are you? They are easily rebuild-able by a shop that is familiar with them, and any 32 xfer case should be interchangeable. Infact I think a 33 or 34 would also work but am not sure. Also, is your car Australian or unusual, 91 GTRs were not available for import as Nissan were selling them locally 91-93? And finally...why do you think yours is borken?
  12. What's the weird looking slot above the screen for? It's easy to forget these cars were designed 30 years ago, isn't it.....
  13. Chris Rogers at Audio Express is your man for anything import
  14. It's pretty straightforward to deal with a bad workshop experience, post up what happened as fairly as you can but don't name the workshop in the post. People can ask you by PM if they want to. Anyone is welcome to setup www.alternativeuniverseSAUwhereyoucansayanythingyoulikeaboutbusinesses.com because then they are taking the financial risk, not Christian. His site, his rules. BTW....there was nothing good for skyline enthusiasts in that video, I saw my grandmother with her walking frame trying to get across the road at 14:43, glad they missed her.
  15. i've got nothing....I just take borken ones to a driveshaft shop, pay the bill, get nice reco-ed ones back. Everything that happened in between is black magic to me.
  16. Go the pair of wires from the box plug into any other part of the system? I guess it just turns something in the system on/off, eg the 4wd for burnouts
  17. Sorry to chat in FS...but why do you need new shafts? are you looking for spares or have you had a catastrophic failure? I've had good success with rebuilding second hand int he past...
  18. 250 is a bargain for drilling 10x holes about 200mm deep each, straight, through cast iron. It probably costs them that much in drill bits!
  19. I'd have to say, other than having seen the brand on an awesome race car I've seen and known nothing about them. I have no idea what part of the market they are trying to cover between the basic oil makers / local oil makers and premium/overseas oil makers, or what the reason is that we would use them?
  20. Just swap it for anything that fits for a few hot days, even something crappy like a micra. It also could be a leak that is only obvious under pressure (which it doesn't get to on cooler days) which you could check with a pressure tester.
  21. I know you said you changed it....but it sounds exactly like radiator cap not holding pressure....
  22. Did you end up having any problems with the intake?
  23. Thanks Rhys....do you know approx retail cost? How long was it on and how was the paint afterwards?
  24. Vinyl wrapping Has anyone had their car wrapped? Were you happy with the job? what did it cost? how did it last? My cima is the wrong colour but I don't think painting it is the way to go....
  25. Not sure why I never got around to posting in here since I've had an RB30 in the stagea for 8 years now....just got it back from Unigroup after they sorted an exhaust restriction so I thought it was time to post up This is from my rb30 stagea * Rb30 bottom end with forged pistons and rods * Standard stagea head * eboost 2 @ 19psi high boost * Garret GT35R with 0.63 housing (the baby one)...I think! * Generic front facing plenum and stainless high mount manifolds * Larger injectors but stuffed if I know what size or brand. It makes 200awkw @ 4000rpm and 250@6250 with 19psi. Comes on nice and early which is what I was after.
