Havent posted for a while so I thought I stick my nose in.

Just fitted an oil cooler to the beast. Now I know how Nissan built the GTR. They took an oil filter cartridge and an air con unit and then decided to build a car around it.

Next job is to put the car back together, I mean literally 40,000 bits to go back on.

I also know why the service manual is so important. If you start at step 5 there is no way the thing will fit. You gotta do it by the book.

Cheers and Comon Summer.

F#cking skyline engine bays..... My R31 coupe is like the tardis, but in reverse - it looks big but fark no, you can't get near anything. Generally speaking, if you can see something you can't get a tool anywhere near it; conversely if you can get a tool onto something, you normally can't see it. Removing/refitting the gearbox takes 3 feet of assorted extension bars, thats with the Gearbox mount dropped and the back of the box lowered...

So, yeah, I'd hate to have to work on a GT-R! I figure by the time I can afford to own one of those, I can afford to pay to torture someone else have someone else perform mechanical work.

I hear that!! My old GTS-X was an ass of a thing to work with!!! The GTR is actually easier for some things... But working on them is half the fun!

      By Black_CSR · Posted

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
