how is it dangerous?

Im sure you are smart enough to figure out why its dangerous.

Does it kick down other gears as it should without delay? I reckon the box might be on its way out, perhaps drop it into an automatic's place and get them to take a look. But as Krishy said, the ultimate solution is to get a manual cog swapper.

Thanks guys, yer seams a manual box might just be the way to go. I'll probley take it round to the local ultratune sometime this week and get it checked out just thought id ask here first.

Hey guys can anyone tell me whether I'll need a retune if I put my rear muffler back on? Car currently has a straight through 3" system and the muffler is a big oval rear one. I just need to be able to start it in the morning without waking the whole town up. For next week anyway.

Het fellaz,

Bit of a nissan noob, had rx7's for years but slowly learning the nissan way... :) :)

I need some help with my new ride, i just bought an A31 ceffy fitted with an R32 RB20det and the wipers, temp gauge and rev tacho dont work. Bloke i've bought it off said they all worked before the engine conversion. Just wanted to see if anyone else on here has done a similar conversion and came across the same problem??

Or even point me in the direction of a workshop that does alot of engine conversion work that could possibly help me out. From what im lead to believe is the plugs from ceffy body loom and 32 ecu loom have different pinouts to those 3 things.. Got a mate helping me out who's an auto elec but we just need some pics of where the prob lies or some extra info.. had a few cracks at it but with no luck on fixing it.. aaaaahhh! haha

Anyone that could help out with some info would be greatly appreciated. i wanna see if we can get it done first without spending big bucks at a shop... Its the only thing stopping me from driving it on the road so im mad keen to get it fixed asap.

Hope you guys can help and dont mind doing so. Thanks in advance.

Jared

send >>Simon-S14<< a PM

he will be able to sort you out

Yeah thanks mate, got in contact with him and he's coming around early/mid next week to get it fixed.

Sounds pretty confident and i cant wait to get this shit sorted.

Cheers guys

I would say coils adrian, they've always been a weakness of holden's. Speak to Mark at K&A auto next to castle plaza, tell them sam who used to work there sent you. They've dealt with any problem you can throw at them.

  • 3 weeks later...

installed two gt 2860 -5s in an r32 gtr and took it for a drive tonight, 5 k's or so it was fine, til it started making this high pitched squealing sort of noise. freaking out we thought it was the turbos gone because of an oil block or something. had 3 of us look over everything in the engine bay for undone clamps, oil leaks etc... nothing

everything was put back on the turbos correctly, oil change was done before first run, (car had been on stands for about 4 months due to installing new clutch and turbos)

one guy that looked at said that because the gearbox was taken out the engine had to slide back, which could have crushed an oil line perhaps??

old turbos (stock) ran 11 pound these run 14 so its nothing to do with that? high pitched pressure squeal?

but we really think its the turbos, we didnt pre - lube the turbos with oil either. which some people tend to do.

car is being looked at tomorrow but if anyone has any thoughts or ideas help is definitely appreciated ...

Gauges on my Stag are freaking out.

Temp reads at full hot, fuel reads at full tank (when it's not full), speed wont read when driving, rev's just bounce on 1k rpm and wont really go over that when driving and the KM's are reading 999,999km when it should only have 60,000km on it (it's a digital readout)

I've figured out how to make the gauges actually work though at times. I just switch it to on without starting it, let the gauges settle to where they need to be and then start it. This seems to make everything work EXCEPT the km readout is still at 999,999km.

Something electrical I'm guessing and I'm not too keen to mess with electrics in cars ever again after a bad experience.

Any ideas?

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
