You're really showing your smarts now Jarryd!

The Oz spec tail lights were fitted because I sold the hotplates for $250.00 & it's a track car so who gives a stuff what lights are on it. :bunny:

The centrelines you refer to are german made BBS Lorinser wheels off a Mercedes Benz reworked to be now 4 instead of 5 stud and widened to 8.0in to suit the race tyres & fit around the BNR32 GTR front brakes. :geek:

You might be amusing if you knew a little of what you were talking about. ;)

When your DR is 1 of less than 20 left in the world and you're offered millions of yen for it, then you might be able to sprook a bit.

What's the go Jarryd? You don't like what I say & you want to block my posts and then you do this??

Ghostrider,

Most of the guys on here just tell me to koff and it's over & done with.

Do you ever stop to think I'm trying to embarrass you so much that you actually get up and finish something???

Dennis

You are out of order.

These personal attacks must stop.

Try not to be so judgemental of everybody.

Not everyone is obsessed with collecting every last remaining copy of Nissans "Vacationer pack" but leave you to enjoy your hobby because that's your thing.

Just leave the guy be to enjoy his car.

I would expect nothing less from you!

mmmmmmmmmmmmm "Vacationer Pack" what do I have that's vacationer pack in your eyes & how many millions of yen have you been offered for your DR lately?

As for leave him be? Why??? He hasn't completed a single project that he has posted on this forum and for the most part, think he is a joke. He puts it out there on open forum and doesn't expect to be shot to bits?????????

He shoots his mouth off about centreline wheels & oz spec lights and has an acute case of NFI syndrome whilst he is doing it and I can just sit back and do nothing for you to be happy.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thanks Dennis

From what I read his Centreline comments were a reaction to your post.

All I saw him put out there was info on his new car and he didn't deserve to be shot to bits.

We are just a small portion of the SAU community and as a result we should all just support each other and be able to post about what we were doing without fear of ridicule.

I apologise for the Vacationer comment if it offended you so.

I just don't get what the big deal is about the PNV over a GT-ES without the stickers and embroidery but you do and that's great. But I do appreciate old Skylines in great condition.

I haven't been offered anything for my DR despite (for the first time in a 32 year marriage) getting pressure from the missus to sell the DR and keep my 33 GTR and motorbike. She just doesn't get the DR so I've been hiding it at different workshops for nearly a year :-)

So can't we all just get on?

Chris,

The PNV is a spec'd up GT-ES, making it, in R30 ranks, the pinnacle, the very best of the bunch and thanks to this and a few stickers, badges and embroidery, they are rare and in the right circles worth double ANY road going DR30.

It's obvious you don't know the diferrences and have never bothered to find out.

As for the centreline & oz spec lights comments, it has nothing to do with reaction, but everything to do with this.

Chris,

It's obvious you don't know the differences and have never bothered to find out.

While I'm insulted by your assumption Dennis I'm also confused by the nice PM you sent me within 10 minutes of your previous post.

I agree to ignore your online hostilities for the sake of peace and deleted my reply.

We'll have to agree to disagree. One mans pinnacle is another's midrange marketing exercise

Look forward to seeing more pics to get this thread back on topic

Ok Jarryd!

Do you think it would be possible to tell us what you HAVE DONE, like before (as purchased) and after. From the pictures on ebay, the stand out failings for the car is the engine bay & interior.

You gave us a link to KRS some time back and made a point of the Paul Newman stickers being available. They have heaps of bits just not available through Nissan anymore for the R30, primarily DR30 though and you could probably use some of the dash bits.

If you want to start tarting this car up into something of a show car, let me know as I have the inlet manifold I bought from MasTers in WA that I probably wont use now, as a coat of paint will work just as well, or I'll get both manifolds done to match at Comcoat & probably satin black.

This manifold is yours if you want it.

Cheers, D

Well you either stop doing that as of right now, or the hammer will come down upon the Classic section.

I rarely look in here as most of the time, mature blokes should be able to behave as such...

However it appears not to be the case.

STOP attacking people. You've been warned for it in the past.

Enough is enough.

Thanks.

Who knows the passwords other than Christian the owner, or maybe MODERATORS???????

If I change the password, the system still knows it??????

Passwords are all heavily encrypted. No Admin or Mod can easily decrypt them without some serious number crunching.

And honestly, it wouldn't be worth the effort.

Amazing.

I havent been on here for a long time because although i enjoy looking at DR skylines, i couldnt be bothered with reading Dennis' judgemental, ridiculous statements regarding other peoples cars. I opened SAU and guess what?? Same shit as always.

Get a life Dennis.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • 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.
