It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Not doing it myself lol. I was offered 20k cash for my car yesterday. Paid 21k 8 or so months ago, saves me the trouble of replacing the gearbox since this guy is loaded. Might go ahead with it, get a work car and in the meantime try and source a 06/07 V35 from Japan or something. Food for thought.

Also my mechanic said 5 hours MAX since he didn't know how difficult it would be on the car he based that on his experience of every other car on the market apart from this.

True there is only one way to learn, $1900 can buy a lot of tools, get a Nissan manual, hydraulic puller kit and get some custom pullers machined up at Mackay Harbour Enginering. It cost me $1200 to bucks to buy all the shit I needed to rebuild gearboxes and now I got them for life, now my brother can break all the gearboxes he likes hehe useless retard. Up to you Sean, you can pay people to do shit the rest of your life or slowly start collecting tools over the next couple of years and you won't have to pay people anymore. Ive spent 3 or 4k a year on tools for the last 5 years got tools from arse hole to breakfast in the shed. You learn pretty quick when you f**k something up, but hey you won't do it twice lol.

True Ben that's right. I've only been in the car scene under a year but always been interested in the import scene since i was 13 or something but never had the chance to do hands on work, i have started collecting shit with my dad and it's good fun getting under the car on a Sunday and doing stuff i enjoy it. It does take time to learn though but i don't think a gearbox is something i should tackle with no driveline experience whatsoever.

haha not sure what he'd think about that. If i was going to do anything to the gearbox i would replace it with the 05-07 transmission as it has better synchro's and i would only have the same problem with my current gearbox down the line.

You should lend him your tools so he can learn to do it himself.

Sounds like a good idea to me

Lol I'm on a Health kick at the moment even joined the Gym and everything, Drank way to much when I was in USA and Open cut work made me fat and a Alcoholic lol, back underground now need to get fit. Yeah I'll lend ya the GTR its got no engine or gearobox in it at the moment but your quite welcome to sit in it and Fred Flintstone it. I remember my first interest in imports cars was when i was like 12 bought my first HPI magazine when i was 13. Back then R34 GTR's were 140K + and R34 GTT about 90K never thought i would own one. But as soon as I left school and started my apprenticeship I bought a R34 GTT when I was 1st year. I was pretty much the first person in Mackay to have a R34..... ahh the memories good old days could only afford $20 of petrol a week lol 4 sets of tyres in 1yr, Dad had to pay for them hahaha. Only owned the R34 for a year and upgraded to a R33 GTR and Dad bought the R34 off me. Then the collection started and GTR's consumed our lives. :woot:

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
