thanks scotty for the manual

but thats still only the service manual

looking for the engine technical manual

it shows you how to pull everyything apart

no probs, ill keep my eye out for it, i do search for that stuff from time to time.

anyway to make those pulsars 4wd? like using gti-r running gear? would be really awesome then

N14's yes. There's two options; graft GTi-R floorpan firewall back onto an N14 shell, extend rear floorpan slightly or use the existing floorpan but modify it to suit 4WD tunnel, diff cradle, etc. The first option is more common, there's somewhere between 3-4 running examples in Australia, and some unfinished projects. Can be engineered.

N15's - not impossible, but harder. There were 4WD N15's overseas, but they were 1.5L diesels and the drivetrain is small and weak. It'd be difficult to engineer a floorpan conversion in Australia on an N15. There's 1 4WD N15 currently being made in Australia using a GTi-R floorpan with extensive modifications to lengthen it width and lengthwise (the N15 is larger than the RNN14 & N14.)

Didn't nissan sell a bluebird (pulsar sedan) with the GTiR running gear from factory?
only the n16 4 door was sold as a bluebird I think

The U13 did come in AWD SR20DET, I don't think the drivetrain is the same as the GTi-R though. Much like GTS-4 vs GT-R running gear in Skylines.

The Bluebird is not a Pulsar in that series. The only time the Bluebird has been the same as the Pulsar was in the N16 as CrispyFries pointed out. Our N16 sedan is a Bluebird Sylphy in Japan.

you know for $90k you could almost buy 2 R34 GTR's?

smell that? That's the harsh stench of reality. seriously though, I dunno why some of you guys pour so much money into a depreciating asset that isn't even a limited edition or the top of the line in its range.

...

For the love of it Shan. It's a hobby, and it was my first car. I didn't even sniff at the last round of mods early this year - manual conversion, hydraulic clutch conversion, straight cut gearset, Nismo 1.5way LSD cost me ~$8800. Yes I could buy two stock N15's for the cost of the conversion alone but meh, it doesn't phase me.

THIS.

Everytime I think of dropping more than 20% of the value of my car on a mod, I generally just look at selling the car and upgrading. I mean realistically speaking, do you think Juliette is ever gonna see $90,000 from the sale of the car, even if it has that much in mods and maintenance? Makes it even cheaper when you realise half the people who mod cars are in debt and sometimes get strapped for cash, which means you can wrangle an even better deal.

Of course you don't buy if the car looks or feels molested, no matter what the seller says. Use your brain and not your dick when you buy a car. If I am buying a risky car I make sure the saving I make covers the cost of a possible fix... never had to be in that situation, but that's the mentality I approach it with.

I know what you are saying, over time the price adds up. I bought a $15K 4wd 6 years ago and since then I have spent another $97Kdd on it and now I am left with a vehicle that owes me $112K and if I wanted to sell it tomorrow I would be lucky to get $40K and it has a 2 week old $25K engine in it. Such is life.

See that's okay with me, because I'm not under the illusion I'd make much more than 20% of the money I've spent on it back. Realistically the car would sell for between $12-15K, more if I parted it. You don't mod cars for resale value - which is fine, because I don't intend to sell it and I'm not strapped for money, it owes me nothing. I currently have three cars.

which brings me back to my previous statement... unless your car is top of the food chain, don't waste money on a lower spec car.

yep right on the money

Gtr is f**kig slow out of the box.

its slow after you have been in faster/more powerful cars, but stock/stock it does its job

ah yeah, still a lot of work either way, even for the n14 :S

edit: my friends looking for a GTIR, their getting pretty cheap

rather be in some box tbh. and slow is good

lol

found out today one teacher slammed another haha

he took her out to dinner, f**ked her in a hotel and avoided her, did it again the week after. LMFAO

did you manage to get up that? or were you winched out?

No never managed to get up that one. People only used to drive down it never up. I kept on bottoming out, hence needing bigger tyres. That place where that video was shot was all destroyed in the fires so it no longer exists.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
