Lol he came around to pick up the spare key the other day, although it looks good from outside, it's not doing so great..

Oil pouring out of the oil pump cover, rocker seals, sump.. Has a nice rattle to it, and as he drove off it was a nice thick cloud of blue smoke.. I asked him how it is, and he responded with "yeh bro it's fuccken sick as the girls love it bro"

Thing was pristine when I had it.

Oh well not my problem anymore

Well he been seen bashing the limiter and spinning out, so would assume that's how it's always driven now.. It was tuned to 8k but I'm sure constant ignition cut is a good thing lol

is it ignition cut limiter? loooooool

that's not good for oil pumps hahaha

I don't get people that smash the hell out of the limiter for no reason...

l was in the car with a well known SAU member and he was hitting the limiter like 6 times on every gear change...in a 280kw car you REALLY feel it slowing down on repeated limiter....

100 internetz to the first person to guess who lol

That'd piss me off majorly man! :domokun:

Starts with a K :P

Nothing wrong with a bit of limiter once engines warm, though I generally try to avoid it. (on my new car even more so)

33R isn't my ideal track car. But I either get the 33R now or never

Do it mofo, I know of one for sale, not sure on price he's asking though.

34R are still over priced... no point IMHO

i'd rather buy a 32/33 and have coin for mods (or replacing shit for the 32)

What Hambo said, or buy well sorted 33R (like what I did).

Yeh was ignition cut.. Yeh I know it's not good for the oil pump but I wouldn't hit the limiter. Hell I never reeeeeallly thrashed it.

It's the guys first turbo car, and first overly powerful one. I'm surprised it hasn't ended up like the 33 year..

That'd piss me off majorly man! :domokun:

Not really lol, I got the price I wanted for it, he can drive it as he pleases. Just wouldn't recommend anyone buying it from him for more than 2k lol

Agreed. 34R is well overpriced. 33R is probably the best value for money

Just always wanted a 34R as a kid so don't want to go pouring money into some my heart isn't quite set on

34R is baller, though. Do want.

But nah, just take your brother's evo Tony... or get a bike. Like was said earlier, the only true two options xD.

Nah wife can drive an evo lol

Do it mofo, I know of one for sale, not sure on price he's asking though.

Which 34R brah? I won't buy a stocko one. One that is worked or one with a blown engine will be fine for moi

Limiter bashing gets me no where any way! /NA lyf

Btw, how's the gym going Leigh? My main concern atm is trying to sort out a good diet :P

Yeah good, been going 4 days a week. I wouldn't worry about diet too much while still starting out, you don't want to change too many things at once or you'll get over it and stop completely. Just keep doing the hard work at gym which is most important and eat if you don't eat you will struggle to have the energy to workout. I have 2 protein shakes a day without fail for that extra protein boost for recovery / building muscle as well. Regarding diet just eat meats, rice, veggies, the usual stuff, but as I said don't really worry too much IMO. The only thing I really cut out is the full sugar soft drinks.

Make sure you're doing good exercises too during workouts bench, squats, and deadlifts are awesome. A workout buddy is helpful for a spot to push harder on bench days too. Do this for a few months and you then get people noticing at parties and what not, all this is more motivation to keep pushing harder :D

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
