Never truer words spoken Adrian. no.7 is a pet hate of mine. Despite what paul say's,

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "BOLT ON' MODIFICATION.

:(

bullshit...buy big $$ brand name jappo gear like i do and you will never have a problem. My last 3 turbo kits have all been HKS and have had every nut bolt washer and bracket to install. No extra engineering required and were bolted on with my trusty 10-12mm Honda Mower offset ring spanner. That spanner has just about rebuilt my whole car!

Relied on an aussie to supply one piece of pipe in the latest build and could have walked to Trust HQ in Japan and back ive waited that long for it. Sometimes the expensive option is always the best as it saves time and headaches.

my mate who helps me with the car lost it once....i was livid...lucky for him it showed up (sitting on top of the front subframe)

i always clean it after every job and it has a special place in the top of my tool chest. :(

I need crew for tomorrow night. Who's keen and good with a spanner/wheel brace?

Mower spanner experience preferred but not essential.

spanner just came out of the parts washer and is ready for action...what time?

i agree that a good quality kit is much less of a headache to fit, but some cars are shit to work on regardless. i replaced a set of low mounts on a 33 gtr last week. used some manifolds with a balance pipe on top so had to fabricate water feeds, also fabricated oil feeds as the hard pipes are a mongrel. after 2 days of f@%KING AROUND I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY WIFE I DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE. im closing the shop at the end of december. from know on i am only working on nissans with chevs in them. you can all jam your 300s, gtrs, gtirs etc. funny that nissan build the best sports cars but also the worst to work on. i now agree with he mentality of other shops to charge like wounded bulls to work on these heaps of sh$t. charging fairly never got me anyware. the day of the modified street car is dead as most shops cant be f@cked and people wont pay the money the job is worth, unless your from sydney where it seems you can charge anything and people pay. plus cops are sending everybody to EPA testing. looks like dedicated track cars are the go and people will be doing there own work. thats my rant and before you ask, yes i have had a few beers.

It wont run a 10 tonight PaulyD. It's only on its PULP tune and no boost. This is just to sort out any gremlins. Would rather do that at 120mph than 140mph.

Stu - 9:34 and you're peaking. LOL!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
