Hi

thanks for replys i ended up taking my car to gavin wood and he did a brillant job on my car. now runs alot better then before. he also uses very good products for the car such as oil, parts etc.

i did notice that some parts needed for my car were quite pricey so make sure ,if you go there to have the right money aside and possibly a bit extra.

regards.

Its worth spending a bit extra to know that the quality of work is good.. Take it to somewhere with a less savoury reputation and you will end up spending much more in the long run. I've always taken my cars to Gavin and will continue to do so.

hhmm... I wonder what happened to Stef from International Motorsport..?

Yeah I haven't talked to him for years but he did know his stuff. So he resorted to stealing? He had like half a mill in snap-on tools, an 11 second v-spec daily driver and a 10 second GTR track car. You'd think he would have the money not to be a scum.... So he went down the same track as Steve Mc Iver (mr GTR) what a f*k...

Sorry to hear that. Don't worry, one day all those people will give an account of their actions to God.....and I don't mean Godzilla.

Hey, I realise he's not around now for the wrong reasons but dispite his drug use he "did" do some good work. I said, "did", I haven't seen or heard of him for like 6 or more years. Back 7 or 8 years ago he was one of the few people in Queensland that knew alot about Nissan performance and inparticular GTRs. I could tell you some stories too but back then he was doing a shit load better than the likes of Tokyo Toys (who after being on ACA twice moved to brisabane and changed their name), MR GTR, Rigolli and Sub Zero! As for his, cars I have seen both of them but can't confirm the times, that's just what he told us. These people will or already have pissed off the wrong people which is probably why they arn't around anymore. It's sad that people think it's acceptable to steal, lie and defile etc,.... but one day they will have to repay.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
