While I'm here ...

Can anyone tell me, or point me to a link, as to how a GTR/260 gearbox pull-type clutch fork mates up with the pull-type clutch kit, so the clutch engages properly. Push type I know you just slide things on. But is there a trick to fitting the GTR box to a pull type pressure plate and carrier?

Thanks >_<

while i was picking up my car i asked this qeustion today as my intention was to drop by and help.... unfortunataly i didn't sleep last night and afterwashing my car i had a quick cat nap that i only just woke up from =\

i know there a BARSTARD to get off (right matty/blue 32) =P

but apparently you can assemblem the forks and everything and then set up the thrust bearing and just "click" them into place! soooo much easier than removing them!

That's 'cos I killed the pigeon with my gas when I was changing your turbo

normally id be inclined to agree, but i didnt put the hks piping on until just before the private day.

Chuck up some specs :)

Its a 88 model was auto by the looks of it, RB20 it pretty much stock engine wise. Its supposed to has a Autech ball bearing turbo, Nismo suspension and a fairly new Exedy clutch which a cant seam to take off without chirping the rears :D It def needs moar powers as it has trouble spining the wheels in second. Rims are 15's with 205's so i'll keep them for sliding as they are easy to replace and i'll see if my drifteks fit on the front.

What should RB20's rev too? 7000?

Most definitely.

1998 Black R33 GTR series 3.

~100k km,

400R Front Bar,

HKS 2530 turbos,

18" Nismo LMGT4 wheels,

Loud. Fast. Unbelievable!

PM me if you want to know more.

dang it, i so didn't want anything to do with this thread grrrr

be more aggresive with the clutch, 20's got enough power to slide a ceffy lol

Pretty sure its just running standard boost, its not very fast atm. It may still have an auto diff as well which wouldn't help.

Sounds like awesome fun man.

I'd be inclined to rev a Rb20 to like 7,500?

God hearing about you having a track cars really gives me the itch to hurry up and convert my S13 to manual.

hmmm

Im off for a spin in the hills

wish I could sort out my ecu and get back to 7200rpm limiter

currently cuts at 6500, some sort of issue with the AEM F/IC-8 ecu I have, as the remaped stock ecu is set to 7200

meh, changes gear right in the meat of the power delivery so it isnt too bad.

surprising tho that a little 700rpm means my car is down ~15rwkw

ie 6500rpm = 240kw, 7200rpm = 250kw+ going by the dyno graph(s)

Sounds like awesome fun man.

RB20's semi redline at 7000 and full redline 7500.

My limiter was ~8000rpm.

Went for a spin in my managers R33 S2 tonight lol, it did give me a Skyline fix thats for sure.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
