hey people just an update on wats happening

since my first post havent really done anything but would like some help on deciding a couple of things. i forgot to mention on the first post i have a 25 turbo on my rb20, an into the new year i will be looking at getting a fmic installed an getting a tune an up the psi a lil, so my help questions are:

with the 25 turbo in the car wat would be the best tune to get?? and to boost the psi level to? ( as i think its running slightly higher boost than stock)

were in perth w.a would be the best place to go to?

cheers kim

hey peeps just a update on progress on my 32

since the last update ive had a fair bit done an i shal tell you now

i was saving up for a fmic an 3'' bellmouth but ive ran into abit of trouble lately with the car :/

ive had issues with the coolant system so at first i was just casually driving home with the misses an i pulled up to a set of lights an noticed steam coming from the bonnet as natural freaked out an luckily got it to the servo 200m up the road an checked it out at first wen i opend the bonnet steam was just pissing out which looked like it was coming from the thermostat housing but turned out to be the heater hose had blown apart as there was built up pressure in the system cozzzzz the bloody overflow at the top of the rad was blocked!! so i unblocked it filled it with enough water to get home next day took it to natrad they did a high pressure flush replaced the hose an they got it back to me so was all good, 6 weeks later (3 weeks ago) on the way to work the water pump decided to shit its self yay me right -.-

anyways got it down the garage 101 an the boys there chucked in a new genuin water pump an a gates racing timming belt kit as i thought i may as well get it done to be on the safe side as i didnt have any idea if it had been change at 100k service, also got them to chuck on the silicone rad hosing i bought but hadn't got around to putting on

an also in the last week ive bought a few goodies to help things along i've chucked in a walbro 255ltr fuel pump an replaced the filter, put in some double platnum ngk spark plugs gapped at .7 with the yellow jacket coilpack which combined make a hell of a difference!

new rear rack ends as there was play in the rack an got the tien ss full adjustable coilovers in an adjusted to a good hight (lowerest it could go without scrapping aha) an just put on a clear timming cover from sniper racing today which make it look sikkkk.also had a gtr boot lid an wing painted up an put on last week an looks sleeker especually as i put in some L.E.D tail lights a new tint 20% from work an it goes so nicely together :)

also as the drag season has restarted i may possible be up there this wednesday to see wat time i get with the 220rwhp i got before putting in a FMIC,T2871R and 3'' belmouth with the new tune upping the psi to 18

    • Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.
    • @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.
    • Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 馃槀  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.  
    • It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?
    • The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
