R32 GTR Nismo Front Pipe match for Dump Pipes
Duncan replied to I BMC I's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
It's been a really long time since I've looked at the standard dumps, and you didn't mention a measurement for them, but from memory they are very small and probably one of those deliberately easy to fix restrictions that the car came with to keep it to "206kw". I remember the R34 ones were better but don't have their measurement handy either I'd change them out for sure, the HPI ones are good price/performance and give a 76mm outlet, which I can see is larger than your 63mm front pipes but I don't see that causing a problem, the front pipes will just be the restriction. -
r34 gtt bosch knock sensors
Duncan replied to flyingsquirel's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I heard they were going to shut it down and move to facebook to destroy the information/crap ratio, and prevent some people from even accessing it *edit* sorry hang on, that was someone else -
Is that the ETS pressure switch? yes it goes above the read diff, and thumbs up for good parts but down for no/crap instructions!!! I have never tried to change the switch, you may need to drop the diff...

Lightweight Body Parts for Stagea 260rs
Duncan replied to flying fridge's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
A stagea isn't a great place to start for a lightweight car. To help work out what can go, what are you planning to use it for? -
1999 VSPEC Series 1 R34 GTR VSPEC vs 2001 Base Series 2 R34 GTR
Duncan replied to MK80's topic in Introduce yourself
Personally, I'd got the newer one. Particularly if you were going to swap out the vspec brakes and shocks anyway -
r34 gtt start shaking when i go into boost
Duncan replied to flyingsquirel's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Almost certainly you have had an intercooler pipe come loose, which causes a massive leak under boost. Check in both the engine bay and behind the front bumper depending where your intercooler is (stock or front mounted) -
Rb25de neo rear water spigot

This site suggests it is 3/4 BSP "fits rear of block" - https://www.iee.nz/product-page/heater-tube-kit-gtr -
Rb25de neo rear water spigot
Duncan replied to Idiotwithaskyline's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
This is really unhelp to flat out guess, but I have a feeling this is something weird like straight (not tapered) m20 thread. The answer is on SAU somewhere.... -
Didn't get much done this weekend, but I did replace the reverse camera (the one supplied with the head unit had died....didn't last long, might see if they will replace it). One other thing I did get sorted is the weatherseal under the bonnet above the wiper cowling has been loose, same issue on the race car. I picked up a few different aftermarket clips: The CP0244 fit both the stagea and the r32 gtr, so that is a win. Got them from here: https://www.carpartsclipsandfasteners.com.au/product_info.php/honda-crv-accord-integra-civic-odyssey-engine-cowl-bonnet-rubber-p-431?osCsid=2p206d03k3ccri0bou0mpv1d00 Honda parts. Hope I don't hit vtec, yo.

A Boy's Love For His Rb20
Duncan replied to Roy's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
I will be back, but probably not this year. The car is currently stripped so I figure I should meet the new tarmac rally cage regs before I put it all back together, whatever they are. Might drop by for a beer though, it is just up the road these days. -
winner!

A Boy's Love For His Rb20
Duncan replied to Roy's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Nope, keep the purity wheels and just change pads when you need to. Depending how many session you did, 8 days is a lot of work. Plus, tyres in 17s are cheaper and more compliant than 18s for the same diameter. -

To be fair, Drawn Together was extremely and deliberately inappropriate even for its time, worth a watch if you can find it. Wikipedia says 2004 which makes it younger than SAU

R32 GTR actuator leak...
Duncan replied to Jjtxaz24's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Well, I know both the manual and old mate's video talk about the lower section, 5mm etc etc. I've never worried about that and not had a 4wd issue, just drive it and forget it unless you notice an issue... BTW the error light is not just for low fluid level, the ATTESSA system itself can flash error codes with that light when there is a specific problem. Also, the torque gauge is not a reliable way to know 4wd is working correctly, it shows what the ATTESSA computer wants to happen, not what is actually happening mechanically. Other than trying a skid, the next best way to check the 4wd would be with all 4 wheels off the ground (hoist or on stands), just start it and put it in 1st to make sure all 4 wheels are turning approximately the same speed. -
Anyone seen this coilover before?
Duncan replied to kevboost7's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
That depends mostly on the width and offset of your wheels and tyres, and a little on your camber. If you want to know if you can lower your car with the current wheel/tyre combo, jack up a corner, take the shock out and use a second jack under the wheel to push it up to the top of it's travel. If it doesn't hit the guard in that range of travel you can lower it without wheel contact. Same at the front, except you should repeat the test at full left and full right lock as well. If it is going to touch on the way past you can 1. not lower it 2. roll the guards which folds back the lip on the inside of the guard for another 1 cm of clearance. This can cause the pain to crack inside the guard and at the fold, and I wonder if yours has already been done due to paint chips in the second pic 3. flare the guards, similar process as 2 but you continue pushing until the guards are pushed out a little. Done carefully this can be hard to notice, but done badly it will look totally crap 4. shorter the top upper suspension arm. This will give you mode camber at all times which might cause tyre wear depending on your current settings, but as camber increases as the wheel goes up it also helps the wheel tuck into the guard on the way 5. buy better fitting wheels/tyre combo -

didn't they make a 4wd commodore for a while? .....reshell time! -
I don't understand any benefit of a 2 way diff over a 1.5 way one, either street or track. You don't want your wheels locking together under deceleration in either case. No idea about the other brands, I've only used Nismo 1.5 and shimmed GTR 2 way

Hi mate, if it starts and drives I'd be surprised, and if you bring it onto boost you will probably kill the motor. A larger turbo pushes more air (even at wastegate boost), but the factory ECU will only have limited ability to deal with that (say, within a couple of %). Once it goes outside what it expects, it adds heaps of fuel and removes heaps of timing to keep the engine safe from what it expects is a malfunction. You'll need a tune and/or aftermarket ECU, larger injectors, either larger air flow meter or swap to MAP sensor, probably a boost control solenoid, all the usual.

R35 Brake Booster & Master Mod - R32 GTR - Complete
Duncan replied to deongster's topic in Tutorials / DIY / FAQ
Great post! If you want the brake pedal higher, you can adjust it at the threaded rod/clevis. If you have run out of length the rod could be modified/lengthened -
Looks good Matt, great to see some progress.

R32 GTR actuator leak...
Duncan replied to Jjtxaz24's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Excellent information, particularly re ATF resistance since that is what the xfer case and actuator both run.
