just watchin that vid that matty posted again, and noticed the AFM on the strut tower, not even

connected to the intake... how does that work? me want?

it doesnt. had something to do with the regulations specifying that it had to be connected. didnt say it had to be connected and in use though.

Anyone know of a black R34gtr getting around ?

i used to spot one regularly in town during the day craig, led tail lights and big(ger than stock) rims, and if i remember correctly it had personalised plates

havent seen it for a while though, say around 3 months

ahhh ok, i thought it was so you could run a solid pipe to pod without havin AFM in between....

but upon actually thinking about it, it wouldnt work..

Well i had some what of a sucessful day. got the Cressy i bough a few month ago running (just an ignition issue in the end) but then found that the headgasket is stuffed (which i suspected anyway). So if anyone wants an 1993 MX83 Cressy with 178,000km's on the clock with a blown headgasket you can have it for $1300. Or i'll do the gasket myself and put $3000 on it.

Also started pulling parts off the CA to clean them up;

EDIT!!

As for the R32 GTR Vs' R33 GTS-t Brakes they both have the same diameter but the GTR rotors are thicker (32mm V's the GTS-t's 30mm)

Edited by D_Stirls

argh, ive fiddled too much and now the GTR doesnt run smoothly...

ive posted a thread in forced induction, but still:

ive:

removed all the recirculation piping, and blocked off the inlet pipe holes

moved the boost solenoid to a better place

cleaned the AFMs

and put the stock breather hoses and PCV back on, no longer venting gases to atmosphere.

drove fine (with better power steering mind you!) for about 1km, with small amounts of boost,

but now it barely runs, and is stuttering all the time... any ideas what ive done?

where do i start :blink:

Hmm, have you asked if that was okay to use on the AFM's?

I know when I cleaned out AFMs working at sinergy we used Brakecleaner which is a thin liquid that smells really really strongly you can almost taste it and it drys with no moisture left behind.

It has to be the way you plumbed up all the piping etc

i use the stuff at work all day long to clean electronic components

and if it was the pipingm, why would the car run fine for the first half of the trip?

Could have done something and made it over fuel, and now your spark plugs are fvcked hence why it took some time.

Maybe take out your spark plugs and have a look man otherwise I got nfi lol.

Bed time, will check this tomorrow though good luck :).

does anyone know if altering the length of the inlet piping after the AFM will alter the way the car runs? or should the tune pick this up and self-correct??

I know someone who has a R34 Vspec 2 in black ???,, she lives in north adelaide area, dark hair , has a built forged motor in it.

actually she looks a lot like that chick damo...lol, only a model not athlete..lol

asking for a little help

posted in borrow section too..

me 'na mate are rebuilding a suzuki f5a 543cc 3cyl hatch atm, engine is out on ground

cant get the flywheel off, etc.

need to borrow a flywheel stopper holder lock tool

anyone?

a screw driver run thru one of the balance holes is usually enough, if not try a steel scrap through the starter hole ..

if you can get one bolt off, use a steel flat bar and make one,, drill a hole in the end , pop the bolt back into it and use a bellhousing bolt for the other end.. works a treat. WD40 helps too..lol

some take a light heat from a heat gun or plumbers torch to get loose.. but dont overheat the rear main seal or it will melt.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
