almost mj, almost!

so did u say that gavin will also do your camgear?

i am keen to pull off my timing belt cover and see the condition of hte belt (so i know how much longer i need to replace it.. like another 5000km could be fine, or like NOW.. stop driving it completely, etc). I am thinking maybe if i get that far, i will just install the camgear.. then take it to gavin to adjust and do a full dyno tune.

Nah i wont get gavin to do my cam gear as its too much of a pain in the ass. I goto APC to use the dyno. Im thinking does it really need a dyno tune, ive searched the forums and it seems everyone with a camgear puts -4 and gets good results. So maybe if we just put it on and set it to -4 it should be fine??

yer, that is what i was going to put on.. but leave cover off for later tuning on dyno as required.

if you want to do it same time, could be a good little project i reckon.. there is a good thread in forced induction on how to do it.

bed? thats a little extreme jamez.. although i must say i don't feel much better..

yer, i understand .. and I am cautious myself. if i fried my engine i would be very up a creek.

But reading the thread, and all the comments from people (some of which don't sound too much experienced with doing mechanicals than me) who did it themselves, i think its doable. I have the tools, thats easy. It basically sounds like, remove fan and shroud (and x-over fmic pipe in my case).. mark CAS position relative to cover and remove.. remove cover.. behind should be the marks.. one at 10oclock inlet side, and 2oclock exhaust .. rotate crank to TDC, this should be where the built-in belt marks align with these marks.

unbolt stock gear.. pull off.. bolt on new gear, bolt on.

do all up..

i am confident now reading all that.

yup, i better go order mine too.. without a gear could be kinda hard to do. Wanting to do it about 2 weeks time. IF we get to a point where we go "hmm, looking too difficult" i guess we give up and put it all back together. Nothing lost, knowledge gained!

meant to make a nice difference.. better off peak power, and helps the turbo to spool quicker and harder

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
