I didn't relise u were their! Did I speak to u still trying to put faces to names

We rocked up a 2:20 and the bistro had closed, so we went to maccas instead. We didn't meet each other, because we couldn't find anyone, it was dead inside haha

We didn't go with the main group we were probably an hour behind you guys.

Put my boost gauge in, didn't read right

pulled it apart and i think the seals and o-rings are gone so i'll have to go somewhere for new ones :(

Why worry about it?

Buy something a bit newer; there's accurate stepper motor gauges for cheap prices.

I like the look of it tho, should be fixable with less than $5 of o-ring seals too

Changed radiator, belts and hoses. Just gotta put that fuggin under tray back on.

No under tray here.Mine came loose and folded underneath the car when i was driving,so i thought the f**ker can stay off.

Fair enough, don't forget to check accuracy once it's back together.

Hope it all goes well.

Will do, i greased up the old seals and put them back in in the hope of reviving it and it worked for about 30 seconds

I'm pretty sure its the seals in the dial mechanism that are causing the biggest problems

I might think about disabling that part of it

I'll take some photos later if i take it apart again

HA! I mainly left it off so I could see leaks, now I've become lazy and really CANNOT BE FU*KED!.

The undertray creates a low pressure area in the engine bay, which radically improves airflow through the rad and clears excess heat from the engine bay.

It may not make a noticeable right now; but come summer, it will.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
