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.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
