i like skylines wooooo

lol, i am never attempting to put an aftermarket rear bar on again.

thing p*ss*s me off so much, and now i cant get my bloody side pods bak on.

who wants to spray my rear bar midnight blue and install it for me??????

what brand is it sometimes u get what u pay for with the cheaper ones if its a good brand u should have minimal problems >_<

Just bitching about my unproductive day. Me and Jenkies decide today is that day to put my new intercooler and dump pipe on. Front bar comes off easy as, no problems. Bit of trouble trying to get the stock cooler off.

Decide to have a break before we take it off. glance over to my intercooler box, peel back a bit of packing tape and see "R33 Kit". well now, thats not what i ordered?

so anyway, put everything back together, make sure all bolts are on. ok time for dump pipe.

or, not.

nuts have seized, no chance in hell of getting them off.

so for just under 5 hours of labour, we accomplised:

- found one nut on the cat was really loose, tightened.

- removed thermo fan so cooler core will fit.

lesson for today. pay someone to do it for you.

I'm pretty sure that R32/33/34 intercooler kits are interchangeable as most of them use the factory hot pipe side of the piping and for the cold side you have to cut a hole so there won't be a problem there with lining up as well. Better pull it all back off again.

Might just take it to an exhaust shop and get them to fit it for me. That way i know if they snap a bolt, they fix it. I on the otehr hand, dont have the tools to fix anything major.

no dont coz they will make u pay for the snapped stud.

i have tried that wen i wanted my screamer on and they said nothing about it n i mentioned that sum of the nuts mite be tight n they said if it snaps it not there fault and u have to pay to get it removed.

and if nothing is mentioned about it they will still make u pay! it sucks but they class it as not there fault because they are just doing wat you asked them to do.

Yeah but the mounting brackets that were supplied wont fit.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
