re all of the above

call CBC and ask for joel (joeleo87) he can get the gates racing rb26 kit damn cheap, tell him dohmar sent ya

-D

Apparently theres some good/bad stories going around with gates so going genuine. Get trade price anyways :)

the gates belt is the same thing as most other blue backed belt kits (i cant recall the company name but i know the gates kit is also sold under 3 other names yet it is the same kit).

I'm with heslo, my kit has never been an issue since i fitted that, my n1 waterpump, silicon radiator hose and isc 52mm rad - was all done at the same time, im quite happy to trust the gates kit for a street car.

if you're pulling 1000kw then OK. maybe not the right application. do ur research is all im saying, from me, imho, +1 gates

Take a read. Some very interesting points.

inconclusive

i got mine done 8 months ago in feb

no noise noticed

have not had a single issue

a poster in tha thread makes note of gates making the original replacement unit

and if this is so, a simple hard backed lacquer would not impede the function

i dont know of anyone of the non mechanics have looked at old nissan rubber belts, most of them have dimples upon the rear side of the rubber, a sure sign that its worn in anyones book. the blue coating is simply there to reinforce teh rubber and prevent it from deforming. naturally it will happen with any belt,.its just the hardended blue tar backing can handle the torque of big buggeroff engines

regardless of the kit you choose, it'll last u proportionatlely as to how u drive ur car

Are the Toyo R888's road legal? I know they're semi's, but I thought the R1R's were the 'slickest' road tire?

I sometimes use my R888's on the street, haven't used them in the rain though. Awesome grip on the street but very noisy on smooth road surfaces.

i seem to get a fair bit of bubbling noises outa my car when i switch it off in this weather.

tripple checked the coolent levels after it cooled down and they seem ok, temp gauge seems pretty happy to while driving :) strange cars

My skyline does it to. Think i might replace my coolant and see if it helps stop it.

anyone want to donate to my winch fund?

im sick of pushing busted cars onto my trailer............they're fecking heavy LOL

buy a hand winch you lazy SOB :P

Temp gauge wont show anything until it's too late. It'll sit half way until the head gasket has warped, then it might jump up slightly. Bubbling noises means it's bubbling in the over-flow tank. You might have a block in a hose or it's over-heating.

My mate had the same issues in his old car. Bubbling when he turned it off which came from the over-flow tank but the temp gauge showed fine. A few days later one of the hoses split open... then the head gasket warped itself.

Dohmar, do you know what water temps your car is running on an average day, with the ISC radiator?

Mines currently running at 80 degree's but that's on a 41 degree day. Never gets higher than that.

couldnt tell ya as like u said, the water temp gauge sits in the centre most of the time and I dont have an aftermarket one

Best investment I made was fitting a 52mm alloy rad. Stagea stays cool all day every day, even in 40+ temps.

:action-smiley-069:

i get up to mid 90's (warmer as in not the weather weve been having) on warmer days. should probably do something about that.

What's the point where you have to basically change your oil? Is it 120 degree's it starts to break down?

Mine sits on 80ish on most days yet it was up to 100 on that 41 degree day when I was trying to go up that Willunga hill. Ah. Then once I made it to the top it went back to 90.

^ top one is a 300ZX :P

any one wanna add to my work van fixing fund?

Problem #1... put diesel in it when i picked it up, didnt start, had to wait half hour for it to ''cool down''

Problem #2...smashed the rear window on my gate when i opened the door

Problem #3... scratched the Mc'fek outta the insulation on the side walls while loading in the crane.

Problem #4... dented the refridgeration unit with said engine crane.

Problem #5...leaked about 3 litres of engine oil all over teh inside floor.

wasted 9 bucks with the high pressure hose trying to squirt it out, sorta succeeded.

oh and dont forget the speeding fine i got on the way home, 67 in a 60 me thinks ;)

I REALLY HOPE YOU APPRECIATE THAT CHEAP RB20 WITH ''FREE'' DELIVERY ANDREW!!!!!

:(

lol damn man that wasn't the luckiest arvo for ya I guess. You could probably also add 'Problem #6...stupid GPS wasted a good 15 minutes making me do laps of Lobethal' to that list as well :action-smiley-069:

Nah cheers heaps for bringin it up here mate, gonna drive the sil to Jake's today and get shit happening :rofl:

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
