Phil, No idea when first session is. I am guessing kicks off 9:30ish and may have had one session by lunch.

Still got std diff ratio and std 210,000km old gearbox. There is some money being placed on box not lasting the weekend. I have no worries. Old RB20 boxes are tough :rolleyes:

So the cams gave a sniff that there was more to come. The new turbo has given a sniff that the setup is moving in the right direction.

Seems my R32 is more 58 Plymouth Fury and she doesn't like the extra cubes in her and is playing silly buggers somewhere in the setup. Think dirving around with a head gasket issue with condensation in the exhaust on biref trips etc may have collapse the muffler in the 11 yr old HKS exhaust. I hope its something as simple as that because there seems to be an odd restriction somewhere that means we make ok power but not what we shoudl be :(

Meanwhile, I need this spend to stop so I can count my cash and go buy my Sierra an 80s dance partner at the end of the month

i saw this when i was hunting for a caterham on yahoo japan. ;)

Dont know exactly. Tuner and I agreed not to worry about a number. Just run it up, leave plenty in reaserve re fuelling and lets get a good benchmark and some kms on it. Still needs work on fuel setup and cooler piping etc etc. Is somewhere around 300-320. Depends on whether we go for 16psi or 18psi. Dont care just want to it safe to get some track miles under my belt

That's the spirit! Track miles is what it's about!

Well engine seems pretty healthy. Only got two laps before hitting problems but the one lap where I came on to the straight with traffic I was still 24km/h up on my previous best stratightline speed. SO thing has a load more mumbo then the old 98 tune on the 20G.

The only pic from the day, idle in the pits :)

I think its the front right king pin bearing on the hub to upright. Tyre now rubs on upright :(

Funny you should say that, my 34 has just done the exact same thing :(

Engine bay looks great too Roy :thumbsup:

Me too! Kingpin bearing is flogged out. but i reckon mine has something to do with 295 semi slicks and lots of track days haha. They are sooo expensive to replace! Something like $800 each from Nissan Japan. They're not servicable. Gotta buy the whole upright!

Yep i just went second hand and will see how it goes :unsure:

The bearings in the upright (that hold the kingpin) are a serviceable item. I takes some pasence to get them out without damaging the upright, but it can be done pretty easy. I recently changed mine

Went through the same deal with Jimmy33t also, he found this number BRG A-KINGPIN 40030-33P12

Its the main one, any bearing shop can match the smaller one. Be careful of the lower seal, expensive item through nissan australia

...sounds like we need a tutorial developed for how to do the kingpin replacement - I'm concerned about mine now :wacko:

How's the gearbox going Roy? My 20 box lasted for 22 years (with 6 years of that mated to a RB25 making around 240rwkw) and it wasn't until I went for mega torque with my GT-RS that it started making bad noises.

Not that hard to change really, found a tapered roller bearing replacement also which has preload when fitted and no shimming required

Here is my graph. Pretty lazy at the moment as no boost or ignition really thrown at it at the moment. Not until we get some kms on the new engine and get the gearbox and rear end/diff fixed.

At the moment there is no EBC, just s soft gate spring with a bleed.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
