Without being contrary, I doubt anyone, ever, has replaced factory valves with same sized aftermarket. you only change the valves if you are going 1mm oversize...

r33 gtst s2 passenger side window goes down but not up
Duncan replied to revsau's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
yeah if you are certain you connected the motor's terminals properly to a battery (both ways around) and no movement, then the motor is dead -
Yes, Haltech is one of many supported ECUs for Realdash. Just to add one thing to jdniss's post above, I believe the CAN analyser is better (despite the stuffing around with wiring) than OBD2 or G4+ via USB as the refresh rate is much higher.

VL Turbo Water and Oil line connection
Duncan replied to VL_Turbo's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I'm not sure about flow direction, I think what you have marked as water feed is water return. Water feed likely comes off a second prong at the side of the thermostat housing (the other goes to heater core). -
Can you post up a pic and a more specific description of the difficulty?

How to correct roll center on a R34 GTT?
Duncan replied to r34.bryan's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Yes, this is why at the front extended ball joints are the best option available for addressing bump steer, but again you just wreck the handling if you go too low anyway- 37 replies

Good call on the floor, we've got the same in the new garage and it's working very well for durability, oil downs etc etc even with parking the tractor on it. We also got it done professionally because I wanted it done right not DIY. Been down about 5 years, what worries me is how do I redo it later if needed....

Sum up R32GTR Build before tune - Parts ?
Duncan replied to reallyspeedly's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
interesting point. we need someone to pull their ethanol sensor plug out on a dyno at full noise -

Duncan replied to reallyspeedly's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
surely......if your ethanol % drops from say 80% to 0%, the ECU pulls timing like it was straight 98....so fails safe -
well, here's your chance.

PonieBoi R32 Sedan Build

RB30 R31 Heater/Water Hose T Piece Into Block
Duncan replied to daydream's topic in Classic & Vintage (1950's-1980's)
Yeah they are meant to be a press fit from factory, similar setup in later RBs too. -
do you know what computer it is using (standard maybe)? what happens past 3k, does it stutter/pop (missfire) and not rev higher?

Thoughts on acceptable street tyre wear rates
Duncan replied to Murray_Calavera's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Nah, it's all poly in the back of the race car, rose joints not allowed. Also keep in mind that toe is static. Depending on how/if bump steer is set that becomes toe out under power with standard or standardish length upper front link. -
Thoughts on acceptable street tyre wear rates
Duncan replied to Murray_Calavera's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Actually, I was going to suggest Dose might want to try it with 0 toe, I've preferred that in both rwd and 4wd R chassis. With rear toe in you gain stability under power but lose "responsiveness" from the rear in slower speed turns. You do need to be comfortable with the way it responds.... Also you will get more tyre wear and theoretically less power to the ground as the tyres are not pointing forward. -
How to correct roll center on a R34 GTT?
Duncan replied to r34.bryan's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Yeah pineapples are a simpler and more adjustable solution than changing the subframe bushes which is a big, subframe out job. Pineapples let you change the angle of the subframe to improve (or worsen if you are a hectic drifter) the rear traction. Replacement subframe bushes might or might not have the same geometry as standard, or might also change the angle as pineapples can, it is worth checking before installing. Raising the subframe is a good way to lower the car without wrecking the roll centre geometry (back to OP's question) but space there is very tight depending on the chassis and setup (eg ATTESSA pump on top)- 37 replies

How to correct roll center on a R34 GTT?
Duncan replied to r34.bryan's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
I'm not sure if you mentioned, but a good mechanical limited slip diff will make a big difference in a 2wd r chassis. Also, it would be worth posting up you ride height (centre of wheel to guard) front and rear and also your alignment, plus any specific issue you have noticed (turn in understeer, mid corner understeer, corner exit oversteer, instability in a straight line etc etc)- 37 replies

Thoughts on acceptable street tyre wear rates
Duncan replied to Murray_Calavera's topic in General Automotive Discussion
With a low use, high power car like my Stagea I go the grippiest tyre without the noise and tramlining of a semi slick. The tyre might only last 15,000klm, but you don't really notice if it takes 5 years to get there. Plus, there's no point driving round on crappy tyres and spinning wheels every time you hit boost. It is very hard to work out what a good high performance street tyre is though....every brand is happy to sell a super expensive "ultra performance" tyre, but where would you find an unbiased comparison of them? -

Good on them for quick response. I don't suppose they confirmed the dash wire pin too? -

Rb26dett engine differences
Duncan replied to Norcal510's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
There is also a minor difference in the fuel rail, the 33 has connector mounts front and rear, 32 has 2 at the rear of the fuel rail -

Duncan replied to r34.bryan's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Yeah semi slicks have an amazing variation in width, you really have to check the actual tyre you want to use rather than go off the sidewall- 37 replies
