Hey all - finally my first topic on SAU *bleeds*

Doing a conversion to my brothers ceffy at the moment and it would seem that the rubber pipe that goes to the front of the turbo wants to run directly into the rear power steering line

anyone else had this problem??

could someone take a pic of that front pipe and the ps lines from the pump for me?

also what is the -easiest- way of connecting the engine loom to the dash loom?

do most people use the de loom and change the plugs, or change the plugs at the dash end of the 32 loom so they fit

thanks,

tony

no idea about the power steering line

did this conversion on my cefiro not long ago. used the det engine loom and the de starter motor/positive loom. if the car is going from auto to manual you will have to short the auto switch at the fuse box, bottom plug. hope this helps

cars all finished now

I rewired the dash plugs on the DET loom to suit the 31 dash - most people would just chop and join only a few wires to make the car run -- but I'm picky and wanted to make sure as much was connected as possible

For the power steering my brother extended the drain hose from the reservoir to the pump with some spare pipe and tubing we had. And I think we undid the stopper on the rear high pressure hose on the pump and swiveled it around slightly.

other suggestions would be a solid intake pipe (as its less diameter then the rubber one)

or converting to another power steer setup

the a31 DE setup is different to the r32 as the 32 high pressure hoses to the pump BOTH go to the pump from in between the radiator and pump

so you performed a DE+T??

that;s what i'm doing,

what i think i'm going to do is just replace the hose, it's not broken but it is 18 years old so i will just replace it and get it lengthened so it can be put out of the way of the intake pipe, then swivel the stopper around

i know i could lengthen it myself but it's all high pressure hose so probably best i leave enzed to do that kind of thing, as i'm REALLY anal about that things like that.

is that a good idea you think tony?

easiest yes best not necassarilly, you'd be surprised how simple this conversion is, and how effective it is

a lot of people complain about the lack of low end power the rb20det has,

with this combination i now have an rb20de high compression cylinder engine with the turbo,

i'm only running low boost so it won't go bang, even in the event it does then i will simply put in R32 rb20.... but i'll probably build an rb30det in the event of engine blowing up

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
