gday guys

waiting for my mate to drop my digital camera back

in meantime, ive gotten a q45 t/b by mail

when the butterfly is fully closed, should it be perpendicular (90degrees) with the tunnel inside the t/b, or on an angle??

i know that may sound hard to get your head around.

the one i have, the butterflky when fully shut is on an angle. i want to know if this is correct or not

cheers, mark

How much of an angle? It should seal, the butterfly is not actually round, it is a very slight oval with machined edges at a slight angle so that when it is closed, it does not stick and can open easily.

Also some of them have some type of weired wax pellet idel control i think, well mine had something weired on it for idel control, so that could be holding it open if it isnt fully closed.

"the butterfly is not actually round, it is a very slight oval with machined edges at a slight angle so that when it is closed, it does not stick and can open easily."

after reading that, definitely makes sense that it looks the way it does

im worrying about nothing

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
