Are you ok Cara? Any updates on your friend?

Sorry to hear about the cars involved but your health and your friend's health are way more important. I hope everything works out ok.

my friend had surgery on his back today not sure what for, and i dont know whats happening but im going to the hospital tomorow to see him

As i have just admitted to being a cheap-ass in The Spotted Thread I am going to post an interesting link, Here, to rebuilding brake calipers - As i am replacing my Pads, Rotors, and going Braided Lines for the Track Day, I may as well renew the calipers too.

I did the caliper seals, makes a load of difference.... 20 yr old calipers vs as new... no contest

-D

I'll stop whoring it up in the spotted thread, that DIY looks good. extremes are good if your good to them lol

Yeah, ATM i am going easy on it as i am "bedding in" the clutch and new flywheel.

Only thing I dont like about mine is it doesnt fully disengage the gearbox when it gets alot of heat into it. As for pedal feel? A few members here have driven my car and they have all said it has a great pedal...

EDIT: If you want to hear something really interesting, give Jim Berry a call and ask him about his opinion of Extreme Clutches...

Definitely not a good thing.

should i set the day aside for the call or?..

well back from Canberra/Sydney had an awesome time

only saw about 5 skylines and about 3 coppers so that's a great ratio

sorry to hear of your accident Cara, hope your mate recovers well

why dont you get the R Vu your looking for a 32

ive had my current Extreme in for about 14 months i think

i know its not a skyline people, but your a pretty switched on bunch of peepz,

does anyone know the stuf pattern size for a rx7 series 4 and what other car rims will fit on here.

I have searched google no results, asked mates they all look at me like im planning on giving the thing a good hiding it deserves. p.s sorry bout bad spelling had a few too many. need to get some stockies or decent type rims, and no i wont be doing burnouts on the road, i got no licence to do that anyway.

He won't get one... hes so worried about it not being the perfect one that he'll never actually find a GT-R aha

perfection only goes so far as your wallet allows

note the aus delivered r32 gtr and the one with less than 10,000km milage being advertised on carsales, but each one was over $40k ($65k for the aus delivered one)

-D

If he wants perfect, he will need to increase his budget substantially...

EDIT: Beaten by Dohmar

i think 13k is worth the risk that it might be a genuine sale fly to Perth have a look @ it buy it and put it on the train for home then spend $1000 change all fluids and get leak down and compression tests done so you know what your dealing with

if it has poor compression drive it easy if its all good smile all the way to the track

EDIT

if i had the abilities to acquire 13k i would snap it up today

I totally agree with both dohmar and heslo, hence why I spent the amount of money on my GT-R that I did. I can see that GT-R being a nugget and chewing a bearing straight away, personally I'd steer clear.

its not too bad, tho you're right about the engine, you'd probably want to rebuild the engine straight away for peace of mind, or just strip the car down as much as possible and use it as a track mule till it breaks

i wouldn't mind a 2nd gtr which I can nick parts off

-D

Edit - Having had a look at the pictures, the engine bay looks like its in pretty decent nick and the interior looks good too (no tell-tale bubble on the dashboard)

If your budget was $25k, then getting this one for $13k and spending $12k on replacement parts would be a fun thing to do

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
