:yes: hay guys, i finally got my skyline in my drive way. well i need a dif and a new windscreen but apart from that it all good, i was thinkin about making it a sleeper, but my income to do that and keep up with the price of petrol and the amount of driving i do is just insain, so i want to emprove the looks of the engine bay, i thought about replacing the raditor hoses with thoes steel braided ones and maybe putting one of thoes support rails that sit on top of the shockes that go accross the engine on but what else is their that i could do to make it look appealing, i want it make people go wow when they look under the hood. for thoese of you that want to know its a R31 skyline GXE 3.0 RB30 motor with an auto trans.

cheers. shaun :)

Welcome to the R31 car ownership club. The tech info page at www.r31skylineclub.com is your best friend. The best look for an engine bay is a meticulously clean one. A strut brace for your car will do nothing for its appearance, or it function. Clean, and shiny always makes people go WOW.

yes.. pull everything apart and clean every part induvidually for true cleaness, and paint stuff like the rocker cover a nice colour, nothing too bright otherwise an ignorant cop might assume its done up.

taking everything out and respraying the bay is good too..

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
