Changed cabin filter and ordered pass side cam cover gasket. I bought a repco carbon activated replacement filter for $25.

I bought the carbon style cabin filter and still get a lot of fume smells in the car from other cars, do you guys get the same?

Are you sure you aren't smelling yourself? :)

I assume you ordered the cam cover gasket because it's leaking oil. That'll slowly drip onto hot things & is right below the air intake.

That was the big indicator for mine & no, never noticed it before.

It could be me :yucky:

Yeah I noticed the gasket starting to leak a tiny bit so thought Id get straight onto it. The smell I get is exhaust fumes not burning oil. Ill check tomorrow that I put it the correct way up, The arrow should point up yeah?

Does that mean you'll have a spare once you're all done?

An unknown donor sold a busted up turbo to a guy in Brisvegas. He generously lent it to me to be hi-flowed & I sent mine back which has now made its way to Dale.

Afaik the spare is to be offered to whoever buys his car, but there must be a few units around that could be used by the community for these swaps...?

Beat me to it Leon; As you said, I was very generously allowed to borrow this unit by it's owner, so I can't speak for it's ongoing availability.

Ah, I see.

Is there a particular reason most people opt for a high flowed stocker over a new off the shelf unit? Simply ease of fitment?

Or does the M35 have a unique flange design or something like that?

Pretty much; both air intake pipe and hot side pressure pipe are bolted to the housing, and have a very tight clearances on their pathway through the engine bay. Also, you'd likely end up having to go custom on your dump, depending on housing v's exhaust flange orientation.

So there's a decent bit of fabrication to do just to get something different to fit.

Scotty would probably be the best bet for some photographic evidence on what there is to deal with.

For the power I'm after; it's not worth the arseache of refabricating all the pipework.

The starter motor decided to die (at the mechanics??) the other day... After searching around on here and going with peoples recommendation that a RB30 VL starter motor would fit... it DOESN'T! Luckily Repco do returns...... Ended up servicing my old unit (Discovered the brushes were worn out)...

My mechanic reckons its a bitch of a job to get it in and out for anybody looking to do theirs

Nismo extended wheel bolts, 10mm spacers + wheels

Derale transmission cooler and trans service

Gave it a wash (finally).

Next weekend = 50,000km service

Getting there, slowly :)

Where are the pics though?!

Mine died last week, I was told a vl turbo one would fit (not a NA)? I went for a new Mitsubishi for rb26. $350.

Was a 5 min job to fit once the intake is off...

Servicing the old unit was 160 which wasn't too bad.... Repco didn't have any of the Skyline models listed (you think they would right)?

Anyway all good now, I think the RB25 may be harder to work on due to the i/c piping etc doing laps above the engine :down:

Extended studs I purchased from RHDJapan.

2 sets of these although they do 60mm as well

You did it from the top????

It's a 15min job from underneath.

Ive got no crap in the oil and its not over heating so hopefully just poorly maintained and not a head gasket.

Its got the same sort of texture as mud and its brown...

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
