Now thats one HOT ride!!!

And your questions?

My question..

whats the spec's of the car mate??

cheers

I wanted to take some more pictures, including of my questions.. :P but so far they are

a) after an hour on the road the back of the car emits a quiet but annoying squeak.. squeak..

over bumps, eg the damn pacific highway north of coffs. doesn't seem to happen

when cold.

b) does anyone know a great mobile detailer guy, who loves black, in sydney?

c) Should the fuse box in the engine bay have a cover?

d) does every gtr have little dash rattles on bumpy highways? I've got a couple but won't

go hunting for them if thats just the way things tend to be? like, coming from behind the

dash, or air vents there are these little scratchy ticky sounds over bumps. My other car

is a golf and its solid and tight, so maybe I'm expecting too much of a vintage car.

e) the biggie :D The gear stick has what I imagine was very shiny looking aluminium with the

GTR logo but it is all tarnished. If this is a stock gtr gear stick, is there a stock cleaning

product people use on it?

f) when I open the door(s) they don't hold open they just swing as wide as you like and on

a camber will shut again. The door arm looks like it has outdents on it, which i can just feel,

is that something that can be tightened up or is it just the way it is?

g) there is a clutch rattle in neutral that goes away when I put my foot in the clutch.

Do coppermix twins rattle? I remember reading they don't. Is it the flywheel perhaps?

it isn't enough for passers by to think there is a problem but it is there.

h) it idles at 1200 indicated, is that about right? very smooth but seems high.

i) the speedo reads 10% over. I'd rather it read right, is that tweakable?

specs, well, I'll take it somewhere to check it out see what it does on pulp.

it has a nismo ecu, n1 block and all the nismo r parts... an R1 conversion with the

omori plate in the bay (nismo still have the goodies list up somewhere). S tune

suspension and the weldina exhaust which has a lovely popping on the overrun..

your answer the question g.

i've had twin plate and i've got a triple plate clutch now and they both rattle when the clutch isn't in.

the only way i could tell the difference is the twin plate i found was really snappy(on of off), where as my triple plate is softer and it can be ridden slightly before it engauges.

nice car man congrats.. mine's no GTR but i have one annoying rattle like the one you describe.. over it... and the door thing i think it's called check plate. you need new ones.

umm....

A - Dont know

B - Jet Detailing - Actually, I dont know if he is still in the game, Jason is a member here also!! JETr32 or something?

C - Yes

D - Compared to the newer golf, yeah it would rattle!! Mine rattles, mines an older r33 nugget!

E - Dont know!

F - again, dont know haha

G - Already answered!

H - Does seem a bit high

I - I thinm most speedo's read a bit higher. I'll be sitting on 110 on the freeway from the speedo, and the powerFC shows 105 or so.

Sounds like an awesome car!

Enjoy it mate!

thanks for the answers so far.

Any idea what this is? It appears to have been connected recently. If I was to reconnect it,

where do i go hunting for the big 3 connector plastic block, to plug it back in again?

During braking, accellerating, cruising....where does it do it?

c) Should the fuse box in the engine bay have a cover?

Yes. Get one now.

d) does every gtr have little dash rattles on bumpy highways? I've got a couple but won't

go hunting for them if thats just the way things tend to be? like, coming from behind the

All cars do it mate, my Stagea was the same because it used to rattle and buzz whenever I travelled down rough roads - it was worse in my car also because I had Tein Coilovers which were fairly firm, your teeth fillings would fall out if you hit a big bump.

e) the biggie :) The gear stick has what I imagine was very shiny looking aluminium with the

GTR logo but it is all tarnished. If this is a stock gtr gear stick, is there a stock cleaning

product people use on it?

We'll need pictures for this one but i'd suggest you rock on down to Supercrap Auto and get some Mcguirs metal polish for the gear knob and surounding console. :)

h) it idles at 1200 indicated, is that about right? very smooth but seems high.

1200 does seem a touch high, should be around the 800 mark. Try resetting the ECU by leaving the battery D/C'ed overnight. Failing that - (GTR owners!) Does the throttle body have an idle adjust screw?

i) the speedo reads 10% over. I'd rather it read right, is that tweakable?

I wouldn't bother - if you're going slower than your speedo suggests atleast you'll know you won't get done for speeding any time soon. :(

Overall it's a very nice example, i'd still be happy with it regardless of its discrepancies. ;)

G i got a rattel squike on clutch. and stops wen u put clutch in i went 2 toy shop. and they said something but cant rember but if it get worse sort it coz it apparently will do cincromesh in gear box

The "rattling" sound when you've got the clutch disengaged sounds like the common thrust bearing/gearbox noise.. Nothing to worry about if its more of a grinding noise - its fairly commmon.

Very nice car by the way!

Great thing about Nur Specs, there's very little you HAVE to do :P

Some new wheels if you feel like a change

might look at a more solid strut brace too

Mostly just upkeep. It's already modified quite extensively from the factory :banana:

You might want to look at a sound system that works in this country, the only other Nur I have been in has GPS that likes to think we're driving in the middle of the ocean...

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
