The Journey Over From The Dark-Side Is Almost Complete!

Hi all,

After the floods in Brisbane claimed my DC5 Integra (thankfully that was all the floods claimed off of me, too many others lost far more then I did :( ) I have decided to come on board with the RB brigade. If all goes well I should be taking ownership of an automatic '98 R34 GT-T by mid week. Almost entirely stock apart from the exhaust and a lovely set of Tein coil-overs and EDFC. The car needs a bit of TLC but it's hard to find a Skyline, or any 13 year old car for the point, that doesn't need a bit of loving from a good owner.

It's in decent shape according to the guys at APC at Underwood (to quote them "About what you would expect from a 13 year old Skyline and in much better condition the many of them on the roads." They were good, friendly guys, will definitely be going back) so hopefully it will be the start of a long and loving relationship with my new car as I slowly try and coax it up to about 220-250rwkw. First stop, new rubber, shift kitted and strengthened gear box and new intake before a full service and a tune on the dyno to see where we stand!

Hopefully I will get to meet a few of you up here in Brisbane as time goes by and share some good times and the odd cruise/meet up as well.

Picked up my new baby today :)

Happy as a pig in mud, took it out for a nice long cruise, figured out what most of the switches are for (got a couple of switches I can't figure out as yet, one with a picture of a steering wheel near the gear stick surround and a weird little potentiometer installed under the dash but in an easy to reach position), can't figure out how to make the sceen/CD player work... I'm guessing it's stuffed or I'm just an idiot. All in all I couldn't be happier. Getting a new alarm/immobiliser installed on Friday then it's off to get the gear box overhauled before I start chasing down a few more ponies to cram under the hood :)

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      Help please! Hole ontop of box?

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo

      Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
