Maybe something wrong with the way you search. I put in z32 r34 and first result that appeared was the comprehensive how to.

Australia.

Sorry OP, misread what you were asking. Starting mods; upgrade to a bigger battery, and run thicker cables to/from the starter motor. Should help with starting....

Can of petrol and a lighter. Welcome to forums 👍

Result for you. ATR43ss2 ballbearing version compared to Garrett GTX 3076 gen 2. Same 0.82 externally gated housing used on both, and the turbo was the only change to the setup. Forged RB25, Supertech valvesprings, 256 Poncams, topmount steampipe ex.manifold with Turbosmart 38mm external gate, 3.5in intake pipe, 3.5in turbo back exhaust, Apexi PFC. P98 fuel. Disregard the pink line; that was the GTX running an EBC that overboosted, run aborted. The blue line is the ATR43, no boost controller, just running wastegate pressure. The red and green lines are the GTX, also just running wastegate pressure....crappy ex.manifold resulted in spiking a much higher boost pressure, another story so disregard that aspect of the higher HP when it hits 24psi. Important part to note is the ATR making more HP through the entire run right up until the boost creep on the GTX. Also to note, the R35 afm in a 3.5in pipe was hitting 5v at the peak of the red run. Here's the run of just the ATR. Just under 400rwhp. Note this was also with an inadequate boost controller; now running a Greddy MAP controller allowing for boost to come on stronger earlier without overshooting at higher rpms, so the midrange is now stronger. Same dyno and tuner for both, just done at different sessions.

R33 Front LCA Ball Joint Boot issues

eidt - use a press with a LITTLE bit of pressure, not much at all, is what i mean. -
R33 Front LCA Ball Joint Boot issues
hardsteppa replied to Pattey21's topic in Suspension, braking and tyres
you need to either use a press with a bit of pressure, or get a bit of pipe the right size to fit on the metal lip, and CAREFULLY tap it on there STRAIGHT (it can be hard to get it straight, and not go on an angle). -
Should there be anything loose inside of a gearbox?
hardsteppa replied to damesta's topic in Drivetrain and transmission
Might be the drain flap at base of the centre plate. It moves, but shouldnt make any noise -
Брисбан...далеко, lol.

Привет алекс, Как дела чувак :). Россий это мой 2nd язык, извините :/. Где ты?

Damn straight. 3.5in minimum.

Didn't you only recently make a topic on this exact same subject referencing the same 2 cars?

Sunroof seal leaking and brake upgrade kit
hardsteppa replied to Blakeo's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
i had a Wilwood Superlite/Dynalite kit on my old car - it was 'ok' and no real issues with it, but allegedly some tests show the calipers to flex alot. Compared to the JustJap ATTKD brake kit, i'd choose the ATTKD any day; looks to be better design and more robust. ATTKD kit was approved by the engineer, no questions - as was the Wilwood kit, to be fair. -
Knee and downpipe flanges different angle
hardsteppa replied to HCD Velcra's topic in General Maintenance
And get them to weld a flex section into the midpipe rather than dildoing about trying but fking up getting the 'ultimate' angle. Knob 2 birds with 1 dinger having a bit of movement for fitting, and engine movement. -
You'll want still streetish yes? Would go the blitz, i have found the ride to be better, different valving allegedly, although not pulled them apart to see.

R33 water temp low
hardsteppa replied to 020king's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
Or something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fifth-gen-Defi-Advance-Zd-Control-Unit-Pkg-W-Cu-Oil-Press-Oil-Water-Temp-Sensor/183383574277?epid=18026937230&hash=item2ab2834705:g:oDAAAOSwikdes7VV Mine has worked flawlessly for years apart from the oil and fuel pressure sensors. Changed them to genuine defi, and reads the same. -

Breaking engine mounts at 580rwhp
hardsteppa replied to Blakeo's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
Nismo mounts are not stiff by any means. Definitely get one of those braces. -
Driveshaft length
hardsteppa replied to NickER34's topic in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)
No i only have opinions on it. Allegedly lot of issues using steel 1 piece; the aluminium shaft can be better for a few reasons. -

Try Alpha Omega, and use one of their 1piece aluminium shafts. -
I dunno dudes...bit of work to do it with engine in, but still alot less work/time than pulling the engine. Would do it again engine in if all i was doing was the sump, oil pump etc.

really, did you do a post-mortem to see what happened to it? Too many powerz, or you think the newer boxes are cheaper/weaker built?
