Hi All,

Need to remove harmonic balancer mmm,

Ok Ive tryed cranking if with the engine bar against the ground no luck,

Tried with my ratchet gun increased the air pressure from my air compressor no luck,

I didnt have the car in gear 4 or any gear for that matter (will retry with car in gear also with a bigger battery more cca) but i dont have a tailshaft to connect to to the diff to give more resistance for the crank.

If someone has applied lock tight to the bolt, will it need to be heated to remove??

Will only locking the gearbox inplace create enough resistance to break the seal that this stupid bolt is in lol

or will i have to wait for the till i get the one piece tailshaft back!?

Thanks all

Peter

Hello Peter,

I'm in the process of changing my son's timing belt tonight on his 1989 R32 GTS RB20 manual. I put the car in 4th gear , handbrake on . Used a 27mm socket and breaker bar. It come undown quite easily. So yes I think you will have to positely lock the engine somehow. I did read an article where this guy wrapped a peice of twine around the crank pulley and the alternator pulley. I'll see if I can find the picture. It may be of some help. I then tapped out the two 6mm bolt holes in the pulley and used a puller to remove it.

Regards

Brian

Hi again

Found the web site

http://www.skylinegts.co.uk/index.htm

Then go to service and maintain first choice on the top of the page - fiiting a new cambelt to R33

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hi, u should be locking the flywheel...

Take off the starter motor, and put the flywheel lock in (if u don't have one use a large screw driver, put it in the flywheels teeth, when u start to undo it, it'll lock in) <-- that's how i did it

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
