yeah thats a pity about the compliancing, hope all goes well

If you ever go down the importing route again and with the exchange rates i wouldnt recommend it any time soon but Phil's mechanical service in perth is the best. He has never had a car come back from the pits that didnt pass

yeah i would make sure i got it done by someone here in perth if i was to do it again. Though i have to say after all this i dont think i will be doing it again.

Its just far to much stress, waiting and i have already had a day and a half of work which is not really too good, and I am still going to need more time off to go to the pits again.

I just realised i dont need the standard tyres to put it over the pits i need to have 245/45/R17s because thats what i have on my tyre placard. at the moment i have 255/40R/17's on the back and 235/45/R17s on the front.

I called the DPI today and talked to one of the technical expert guys to see what i would be able to get away with and he said i can not have the 235's because you are not allowed to go lower than what you have on your placard.

I am hoaping that i can get away with the 255's and just change the front but im not sure? i could not remember off the top of my head what i had on the car so the guy could not give me an answer but i think i will call again in the morning and see what they say now i know what i have got on the car at the moment.

Does any one have a set of R34 wheels with 245s on them that they would be willing to lend me to get my car over the pits?

have 235 on the front at the moment and 255 on the back.

I think if i get pair of 235s for the back i would get away with it because the front abd back will be even and they will be 10mm under which i think im alowed but i really dont want to get there and have them send me packing again over 10 bloody mills.

thanks.

Got spare 34 wheels here too bud. 99% sure the rears are 245, havnt checked in a while. Let me know asap but coz I fly out to Tokyo this Saturday, but I've got Friday off work and u can just give me my stock airbox and wheels when I get back November 2nd-ish. I dont have ur number anymore coz Monga ate my fone on the weekend. Got the same number but so gimme a txt and I'll reply if I'm not too busy playing Snake 2 on this temp piece of crap.

It sure did :P

would not have been able to get it done if it were not for brandons help. And my girlfriend who had to do a lot of the running around for me while i have been at work.

now it is just a matter of trying to get the car all cleaned up. and getting the big yellow egg stain of the back :D

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HG's high flow is not "bolt on". The core is shorter, moves the comp cover rearwards in the engine bay. means you have to deal with the inlet plumbing a little bit. This is probably something to consider with every "bolt on" turbo anyway.
