yea i think your right there, just putting cash aside now for t400 auto box and trans brake so im expecting to break diffs and axles more often when i get it all in the car. i found billet axles for my car rated to 1000hp for 550 delivered so if i break them again ill just upgrade. diffs i have just not axles.

Are they for Gts-t cause I only ever find GTR ones which I assume are longer?

Debating wether it's better to have the driveshafts as the weakpoint or not cause if I get stronger ones it's only gonna be something more expensive that will break instead......

Driveshafts should not break if the suspension is setup properly, the only other way they will break is fatigue from doing a million launches in them. If you have have really hard spring rates like 7-9kg/mm on the rear well that is way to hard, and if your car gets axle tramp when the wheels spin well that will also cause it to be weaker. Personally i don't know if GTR shafts are longer than GTS ones but i'm gonna guess and say they should be the same. If you are gonna be drag racing the car all the time then its probably worth spending some coin on the rear end suspension getting it right so when the car squats for a launch the driveshafts are as straight as possible. + dumping the clutch at 6000-7000rpm is not good either as this shock loads the whole drive train, in GTR's when you dump the clutch at 8000-9000rpm all the time i guarantee you will end up breaking something really quickly, need to side step the clutch by releasing the pedal slowly and letting the clutch grab slowly it might just save the drive train a bit of shock load. I see people all break shafts all the time, i've owned skylines and GTR's now for 6yrs + and have never broken a drive shaft yet and i thrash the shit out of my cars ask Kingy he can concur with this lol thumbsup.gif.

Haha yeah. I think my driveshaft that snapped was a bit of a random thing. Ask anyone I don't really do hard launches around town, I'm a girl and all that shit yeah yeah :P

But it's always in the back of my mind now, I'm mainly worried about if I ever get semis. But I need to slip the clutch a bit next time I go out for a run. The button clutch won't make it easy but I'll manage :)

cal, I did stacks of drags and launches and stuff, and with semi slicks and never had an axle problem. I think your problem was a bit of a fluke.

Also, always let the clutch out, never side step. Too much shock, and you'll only create unwanted wheelspin.

Does beat the shit out of it..... When its not parked up being worked on lol...:P

Ben, would t waste your time with the dirty thirty.

You're better off with the dirty whore, thirty four. Haha.

The rb30 cranks are a bit old to be spinning hard. The rb34 kit from spool has a billet crank in with the package. Costs $5k. Spin the f**ker to 10k and bolt twin gtx3071s on it, haha.

You need to set the record straight with the xr6ts ;)

Ah i got 2 RB30 blocks at home a shitty N/A block and a Turbo Block, should just sell them and spend it on my N1 engine or sell the lot and twin turbo the Z, hhmm never own 2 good cars it just makes it harder to figure out what to spend the money on.... someone buy my GTR i'm sick of looking at it.

the NA blocks are just as good as the turbo blocks (exactly the same) if they are a series 2 block. They have the oil and water lines for the turbo. Just bunged up.

I'd use one for the RB34 ;)

How long do you think Cals engine would last with the TO4Z on it? haha.

Lol Stock RB25 with T04Z = LAG MONSTER i'd give a week before it would blow a piston and rings to bits rolleyes.gif

I remember my mates R34 GTT i built for him with a GT3540 on a stock engine, damn that thing had bulk lag but was awesome fun on boost.

Seen an RB25 with a T04Z (all be it not as new design as the one you have) and yeah..... No thanks lol

The only reason I went HKS was for good mix of power and response, would have been more then happy with the Pro S. I'm sure of that

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
