hey,

everything is pretty much sorted. cooler piping, tailshaft, gearbox mount, bonnet shutting, rad, etc.

But am just a little unsure on a couple of pretty simple things.

1. have had the plenum refaced, with the throttle body at the front now. However throttle cable doesn't reach. Can it be extended, or do i have to get say a bigger Vl, r32, r33, or other cable.

2. Am not running a bov, so can i just get the rubber hoses which go the bov blocked off at the plenum. The black metal piping which leads to the bov on the turbo side have been taken care of.

3. With the new cooler piping there no place to plug in the vacume line for the wastegate. Can i just extend the line and get the reading off any part of the plenum, or is getting it off the cooler piping on the turbo side essential.

4. for the boost gauge reading, does that just get it off the plenum also.

5. for the vacume lines which go to the throttle body, now that at its at the front, is just getting a bigger line ok, will it effect the throttle body opening, and operating the way it should.

6. whats the best way to drain the fuel tank?

any help much appreciated. i will post some pics as soon as i can get a hold of a digi camera.

thanks again

jsut puta nipple in the cooler pipingand run the line from there

you might need a custom throttle cable

ps I want a ride when its done

boost gauge jsut off the plenum

also run into another problem.

power steering setup. The silvia has some some speed sensative unit. and theres 4 lines coming off that, yet theres only 2 spots on the rack.

And putting in new lines mite not be viable cost wise at this stage.

Just wonderding whether i could take out the power steering lines, pump, put fluid in the power steering rack, so it doesn't run dry, and block off the outlets and inlets, so no fluid can go in or out.

only worry would be whether the rack will suffer, or turning will be come impossible.

Anyone know what the go is.

Is it safe to do? or should i run new lines, but then if i bypass the speed sensative unit, it could cause problems up at high speeds, pretty tight for room with this one. and i got lines going everywhere.

thoughts on this please.

oh and i got the tank drained, hooked up old fuel pump ran it off a battery and pumped the old fuel out through some hose. worked well.

GTiR throttle cable fits on R33 with front facing plenum. I have been told you can get the stock cable modified as well.

Two spots on the steering rack? why not use an R33 steering pump? I think the R32 have like a dual pump with two lines for the rear hicas, and two for the front steering. If your pump has 4 outlets, do 2 of them run from a seperate resevoir? Sorry I dont have much of an idea what is exactly wrong with the power steer - but interested to hear what the problem/solution and outcome are?

Cheers

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
