30mins max... maybe 45

:bs!:

I dunno about 30 mins.

Maybe if your a frigging machine and have ALL the tools pre-setup

I'd prefer to take my time and do it properly.

I reckon an hour is fair. With a beer in the middle lol!

I can show someone if they BYO tools, i aint got many ATM.

Oh, and you supply plugs too :aroused:

1 slave labour comin up :D

I agree 1 hour for a half decent job, maybe the 32 / 33's are a bit quicker? 34 has strut bar and engine shroud in the way as well as everything else...Bov, Plenum [which may involve ic piping removal], rocker cover 8-10 allen key bolts from memory...plus ALL of the individual coil packs...4 bolts each!

My first go took me approx 2 hours, with the 2nd attempt maybe an hour - except I was cleaning everything while I was doing the plugs...if you only change the plugs then probably an hour on a good day - try it in 40 degree heat /wipes brow :)

i can do my 32 in half an hour... there aint much difference bw that and a 33...

u dont have to remove everything u simply undo one end and move it out the way.

MAX time 45mins... and my 32 also has a strut bar.... plenum doesnt move... piping undo it at the plenum end and undo ONE end of the hose on the BOV.... undo the 2 bolts that bolt that bit of pipe to the engine and lift it up.

undo the screws on the rocker cover and then undo the bolts on the ignition packs and lift em out... undo the sparks and rreplace... bolt everything back in and voila!

I done mine last night , at least an hour at a nice easy pace, you can do it quicker for sure. But i regapped them, cleaned the coil connectors etc. Also, it wise to take off the intercooler pipe too. I didnt do it first and i put the number 4 plug in angled. Luckily it hasnt done any damage.

if anyone can do it in 30mins, and do a proper job then i will give u half a slab.. has to be properly timed.

It usually takes me a bit over an hour... thats getting the tools out, undoing everything, removing plugs.. having a look at the old ones and numbering and dating them, then gap the new ones and put them. Do everything up... and presto...

Add another 5 or 10 mins if i put my tools away, but im too lazy after that to bother and normally do that a few days later :D

lmao ur timing from when i get the tools out and put them back!?

lol man im talking from the time i start taking things to bits.... gapping should be done before hand but i normally dont do it cause i dont trust myself to do it properly... i did it once but never did it again incase i stuffed them.

only tools u really need are:

10mm ratchet and ext bar - undoing the bolts that hold the piping to the block

8mm socket - losening the hose straps on the piping and those bolts that hold that grey box onto the rocker cover.

alan key - removing rocker cover

16mm spark plug socket with a 1/2inch drive ratchet and long ext bar - for removing the sparkies

12mm socket - for the bolts that hold the coil packs to the block...

pretty sure thats it.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
