Spoke to Kutzie yesterday and he can squeeze me in for a dyno tune next thusday.

Those of you who don't know me, my R31 coupe has been off the road for 6 months (and it's my daily driver)

It's still in pieces and I have put an aussie R31 wiring loom in it and some engine mods etc etc.

I hope to see you all on the roads very soon, it's like a little kid at christmas.

Should be 250rwkw - 270rwkw and a grin from ear to ear.

Scott.

i'm in the same boat. Got the engine & gbox on jackstands, i've got 1 turbo hooked up tonight, and should get the otherone on tomorrow night, then put the engine back in on the weekend. And i'm hoping i get my brakes back to put on next week.

Been frigging round on mine for 6 months too.

yeah it was a great ride, pitty about my ctack, that wat the same day Matty got his big speeding fine and had to go to cort. LOL.

Bikes, cars, all the same, the're and addiction.

NOPE not for me, i just dont get the same enjoyment from a car as that of a bike.

Probably cause i cant do half of what i do on a bike in a car >_<

DAMN IT i want another bike :D

Yep i will add to the list as well mines been off the road now for 7 months putting a RB25 in my R32 im just hoping its worth the wait

:laugh: for your sake Ray so do i.

Im sure it will be worth it, but once its done you need to start driving the thing.

I've only seen it 3 times since you have starting building that car , now i know its not a daily but its an RB.

For gods sake man it deserves a flogging atleast once a week :D

Is it back in Tassie yet and how much more have to you got to go till it see's the road again???

Tell me about it. I fried my clutch on suday, and if it wasn't for Aaron form Slide Performance, i would not have a clutch till after the new year. Hopefully mine will be here tomorrow, and then get it in over night.

nope, not nana spec, it's just not Wog Proof. LOL.

Well it's a bit hard to drive on two wheels but i'll try.

Well yes it is rather hard to drive a car on 2 wheels, but then again you could do what Pat does and do a lap of Basky on 2 wheels :(

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Duncan · Posted

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
