R34 Gtt Questions

[Bratva]

Hai,

When taking car to be registered would i need to put on stock wheels mine are currently 18" would that pass inspection and also has xenon bulbs the rest is stock?

Also can anyone recommend a nice fat exhaust that comes out on an angle at the back but is quiet and doesnt drone.

What oil do you recommend for it and what is the code for the oil filter to use ?

Should the boost gauge go all the way to the top as mine only moves about 1/8th of the way under full boost.

Thanks )

not sure about act but in wa you are alllowed your wheels to be 2 inches bigger then stock, could be diferent .

boost go will only go up to about half way if your running stck boost. which is about 7 or 8 psi

the oil and oil filter all depends on what brand you want and how much you want to pay.

I use Motul 4100 turbolight

My exhaust is quite and doesn't drone, but it's only a catback.

[Bratva]

Thanks for the replies. Ill check out the motul oil, the last owner was in japan apparently only used mineral oils. Any recommendations on the name/brand of full exhaust system with front pipe 3" that is quiet ? I am very new to skylines for now but would like to meet everyone else from SAU (so far only met two of the guys here from work).

Also where to get the service for timingbelt/water pump - i would do it myself but dont wanna mess around with it seems more complex than a corolla and where to purchase the timing belt/tensioner/waterpump from that isnt china brand.

Trojan Motorsport in mitchell are pretty good for services and the like.

as for rego, if it's "un-modified" you don't need to go over the pits at dickson, I took mine to "Premier Automotive" in mitchell and they passed it straight up.

If they won't let ya go over with 18's, I'm sure there's someone with a set of 17's around here you could borrow... I've got the set that came with mine, BUT 2 of the tyres are a bit bald

With your boost guage, you said it moves 1/8th of the way to the top? This sounds very wrong. at full boost (7psi) it should sit on the second line down from the top, 3/4 of the way to the top...

Mine is modded and I took it through Premiere. I put the stock r33 rims back on for rego just in case.

If you can avoid going over the dickson pits at all, avoid it like the plague. They seem to hate jap imports. Or at least one guy does.

If you can't avoid it, make the car look/sound as stock as possible. If you can get a stock set of wheels that's an easy one, because each time you have to come back for something they can and sometimes do find some new thing to whinge about.

Check out kudos motorsports for your timing belt and pump. They sell off of ebay and its all at pretty reasonable prices.

[Bratva]

Thanks for your replies will take your advices.

I fixed the gauge by finding that the hose from the tb to some sort of sensor/vacuum thingi had a crack in it, fixed that up and now i get negative boost working and positive goes nearly to the top so all good. Car drives well but only issues i see is notchy gearbox (goes in easy but is pretty notchy) and some diff whine at low speeds i can hear and lifter tick i think. CEnter console is heaps sticky and peeling i think the paint is dodge as i need to repaint it soon. Why is there what looks like a flare in my glove box lol.

When do you guys/girls meet up i need to ask 50 more questions might be easier in person still new to skyline and rb25

BYe!

[Shell]

I don't have a boost gauge

haha the flare is a Jap thing... my R33 had one too. Most cases they are gone/used/thrown out by now cos these cars are pretty old. But some still have one.

[GTRKat]

Haha the flare is supposed to be removed during compliance I think. Mine still has one mounted just under the glove box. I like to keep it there, gives it that nice authentic look

[Randon_I_Am]

Mine's in my bedside table in my room...

[GTRKat]

What on earth is it doing... No please don't answer.....

[Bratva]

i'm 12 and what is this ?

[J'son]

My gearbox whines in second as has a semi/straight cut second gear....

[Randon_I_Am]

Mine's got a leaking elbow joint and i can't get it out of the lounge room...

[Bratva]

Got the rego today! Guys did the inspection rly wanted to fail me on rear window tint and the wheels, took about 30mins to decide if they want to pass my wheels cause 18" but finally decided to let it go noted a few other things like broken nbumber plate lights and steering rack etc but all good. I thought they would be harsher there from hearing all the stories. Now gotta wait like 5 weeks for black number plates. Also i think they did something to my boost lol after they did their inspection my car feels like it has half the power when hits boost

Re boost - Air pressure escaping somewhere.

Maybe something from FMIC pipes to boost solenoid and anywhere inbetweenie

I dont have a front mount where would the intercooler be located stock and the boost solenoid ?

Front drivers or passengers side. Dunno on your model.

Solenoid on the firewall or real close. Follow the tubes to see if split or off.
