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

isssssueeeeeeeeeees.

31 seems to be draining batteries, anyone have any idea what might be drawing from the battery when the car is off?

Could it be the alternator?

dome light, battery backup on alarms, anything else that is wired wrong that can be powered up without the key, easy to test for

PM me if you want more info.

No it cant be alternator they only work when the engine is running.

While on the topic of electrics ... who's got a timing light I can borrow? I think someone offered the use of one previously, but I never took the offer (been so damn busy!)

Tried fixing my old one, but it just won't work. I bought it 6 or so years ago for $30 ... the same timing light is for sale now for $60! :D

Also, found the fueling problem with the Stagea. Fitted the stock FPR in last night and its running better. :D

So my guess was correct..lol at least its running better hey Ruby

i was more thinking that the alternator might not be charging the battery whilst the car is running. Ill get RAA to come and suss it out, its what i pay them for!

they need to load test the battery, prob has some weak cells in it ? check the water lately ? popped it on a charger yet ? clean the connection on the top ?

yep i have replaced the battery with a near new one, same thing happened. The connector that, um, connects to the positive terminal is broken, it is on their fairly tight but could be better. Surely thats not causing it?

the fusable link cant drain the battery,, it protects the car when you jump start it, and any major malfunctions of wiring. its just a big fuse. special wire that fries when it sees a dead short to ground pretty much. common to blow if you jump start your car wrong ,in accidents or muppets who run amplifier wires thru the factory wiring harness. huge NO NO!!!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
