rsx - will check the wiring, hopefully it is the only thing wrong wif it.

yeah mate i had a good look this morning i unhooked the wire from the sensor and tryed to start her no go would just kick over not fire up!!, work on this info.

the r32 wire thats connected to the sensor is blue, thats been cut at the sensor, a new plug was put on then run to the conection at the wiper motor and is spliced into a yellow with a black strip wire (there are 9 wires running into this plug and 2 are yellow) i'll confirm the colour tommorrow!

i'll try to post up some pics of what my wiring looks like as i didnt do it and it looks like its all over the place, but it works!! also crimmo, those watanabe RS8 rims, what size are they as i'm looking at a set tommorro (ref to post 340 on page 14 for pic) any tips as thier wider than the hayashi's that were on the car to start with!

P.S. my car will be fin and engineered half way through next month in standard power output then once on road, rb25 turbo and unichip running the ECU she should be good for around 180-200rwkws!!

Hey rsx84, mine are speedstar RS-8 watanbe, 16x7, 16x8, paid $500 a few years ago, straight out of a container off the docks, got a bargain, they are sweet rims and if you can get them in the same size your laughin! :worship:

crimmo - to get them four spots on did you change to the r31 gts struts or did you adapt them with the standard mr30 stuff? im looking to do the 4spot converison soon and i have the 31 gts struts. anyone know of and hassles with this? and also crimmo, where did ya get that tower brace thingo (the blue thing) and how much?

also crimmo - was your car auto l24 once and did you get dragged by a trashed r30 with an rb20 down paynhem rd? (a while ago now)

haha yeh man! that was me!! small world huh!

With the R31 struts they should be floating disk from memory and you can slide on R33 non turbo disks, and R32 turbo 4 piston calipers, you may need brackets for the calipers, you may not too, but thats easy! :worship:

I bought the strut brace off a mate who bought it from some guy on performance forums, its adj, cusco, but i didn't notice a huge improvement as the thing f***ing sticks like glue with the coilovers anyway :cheers:

As I said I'll be down for a cruise just gotta get my little bit of damage fixed and front end back on. As would Tom, corey and Aids???? maybe mick if he buys it no doubt. We could get some decent numbers out with all decent cars. Show what old school skylines can do. A couple of weeks till my new clutch will be in. How long are others expecting to be off the road for? Shane not much longer now? crimmo?

shold be driving in 3 three weeks if all goes to plan! :worship:

bargain and then some, i'm paying $990 for 15x7,15x7.5 but they are sick and fill the guards like a glove, with the 3 peice bolts they look so much better than the cast sets you can get. fitted the strut brace today, i've got around 2mm of play before the inlet manifold hits the brace so might look into a stabalizer shock for the engine? whats the gap you have with your cusco??

RSX84,

I have a set of 5 spoke MONZA Racing Rims for my HR, 16 x 8 & 16 x 7, 3 piece, +38 offset and they fit under the rear just great. Cost me $500.00 with tyres, good enough for rego/engineering.

After engineering, I am going to put a 20mm spacer onto the front hubs and get new inner rims made to widen the fronts an extra 1 inch inwards, making 8's all round, shod with Yokohama A-008 RS II's or A-032's or Dunlop D01J's, street legal racing tyres, 245/45 x 16.

Should make it stick like sh#t to the proverbial blanket.

My coilovers have 400 lb/in front springs and 330 lb/in rears, plus 25 mm front sway bar and 24 mm rear mounted on urathane bushes and semi rigid link pins made from 10 mm rose joints. The rear cross member and diff support are mounted using urathane bushes, all custom made by Noltec in Sydney at a cost of about $400.00. Lower control arms still have standard rubber bushings.

Up front I have adjustable caster bars and urathane bushes, lower control arms have standard rubber bushings on inner mounts and have replaced the ball joint outer with adjustable rose joints making camber adjustment infinite, with the help of the adjustable strut top on the JIC's.

I may have to change the spring rates after final weighing, more closer to completion, to create better balance between front and rear, with me and about half a tank of fuel in the car.

just thinking with your rb30/25 conversion will the brake set up your engineering it with be enough as thats a big power to weight ratio?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
