Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

ruby, malpassi's are know for making the squeeling noise on startup. sometimes from new. havnt had any fail on me, but i wouldnt doubt they do. personally i like aeromotive. has yours got a black or silver top? black is 1.7:1, silver is 1:1

But is the pressure meant to hit over 60psi on startup (for about 10-15 seconds) before it drops to about 25psi. I've had a fiddle adjusting it (taking note of how any +ve turns) and it makes no diff. Pressure won't go up over about 25psi. I'm just going to put the stock one back in ... but now I can't find it :)

Mine is the silver top 1:1 fpr.

DEFECTED on my way to work this morning... They saw me pull up out front of my work and drop my missus off then as i left to go find a car park they followed me and as i found a car park they pulled me over.....

I get out and im greeted by 2 young fellows and this is what they said:

"we need to search your car for illegal modifications" i replied why did i do something wrong? "Your exhaust is to loud so we believe you have other modifications" (now my exhaust is loud so i have no problem being defected for that) I let them look the car over, at this point the other officer as he walks past says to me "All day we are looking for cars like yours to defect" I said nothing back as i knew i would have had a go at him about driving around all day chasing defects rather than crimminals.. (but hey we are hoons so i guess we are criminals)

They then proceeded to look over my engine for well over ten minutes trying to find as officer 2 told me "im looking for your waste gates mate" i had to politely inform him that its running statard turbos with internal waste gates and had to then explain how they work cause he had no idea at that point what he was looking for.

Then as officer 1 was writing up my lovely yellow sticker officer 2 then started to look through my car

"so i see you have a turbo timer" i looked at him puzzled and informed him no i dont. " dont lie to me i can see it right there" at this point he was pointing down to my Apexi fc hand controller which i had come loose and was in view. I laughed and informed him it was for monitoring my engine. "dont lie to me mate i have one of these in my s14" now i wish i had said so your admitting you have a defectable car but i didn't wanna be a smart ass. Instead i informed him if he really had one of these you would know that its for monitoring engine knocks and rev management and as i was explaining this i could see him trying to understand what i was saying but i knew he didin't..

Anyway long story short after 30 minutes of wasting my time and trying to defect me for things that were standard and telling me all my mates who drive these types of cars are all gonna get defected cause we are nothing but hoons. They finally handed over my defect notice and got me for:

Exhaust: Fair enough i know it is loud

Steering wheel: they belive it's to small. But its the same size as standard. I told him this and i also informed him that the car came into the country adn was complied with this steering wheel. He said too bad its up to regency.

A pillar gauge: fair enough

And last my tyres: They are a lil worn on the front cause i was running standard coils for a month and that screwed with the camber and wore them out a little.

So nothing really bad but he decided i need to have a full pit inspection at regency. TIT

I think its strange how they didn't pick on my coilovers or for my car being low or for my boost controller which they saw but they defected me for my damn steering wheel.

Im not angry for my defects (the ones which are actually defects) im just angry at their attitudes towards car enthusiasts, and the fact they think we are worse than criminals and they are doing nothing but drive around trying to find people to defect.

Damn you sapol damn you all to hell.............. :)

I laugh hearing the word "illegal modifications". Oh noes the cars going become a weapon of mass destruction because the exhaust is slightly too loud! We're boned.

My brother said the same thing when i told him... they make us sound like we are terrorists

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.

      Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
