Hey guys

just a quick question

I bought a skyline r34 gt-t and am trying to get a road worthy certificate for it and it needs to have a washer bottle to squirt fluid on the windscreen.

The standard washer bottle has been removed in order to fit a front mount intercooler. What do people think i should do, is it possible to use a smaller washer bottle off another model car and adapt the skyline pumps from my car to pressurise it? or should i try and replace the washer bottle and pumps off another car and try and rewire them to work in my car?

any advice is appreciated just wondering if someone has alraedy been there and done that?

Thanks

The greddy fmic on r33 comes with a smaller washer water bottle with a stand and space for both small factory pumps to fit in.

I have the greddy washer bottle sitting my garage as I replaced it with an arc combo oil catch washer water stainless thing.

so I'm willing to sell it if it helps you, they supply it so the fmic piping fits right

you getting it from your local auto parts store hanaldo & where are you gonna mount it?

Yeh man, got it from Auto1. You could get them for cheaper if you bought online, I just didn't want to wait for it to be delivered. I'll be mounting it in the stock position, under the battery tray in the left hand wheel well. It just doesn't have a filler neck, the cap sits under the stock hole so I can open up the cap and fill it up but it doesn't impede my space in the engine bay. Very neat. Looks sorta like this to give you an idea:

Pictures will be up in my build thread possibly this weekend if I can be bothered getting some bolts for the brackets to mount it :P I was going to just ditch the washer bottle completely but I'm in the habit of doing things properly, especially when it isn't hard.

hahah thanks man, I tried to fit in the stock bottle rotated 90 degrees as some people have done, but its pretty long and fouls a few bits so I couldn't be farked trying to do it, will get a Supercheap bottle when I can, as for bolts and brackets, why not use zip ties if you can! Dodgy as a Dodge Silverado!

Lol trust me, you get sick of the knocks and rattles that come as a result of doing dodgy things like that. Do it once and do it right or don't do it at all. I'm going to make damn sure that mine is rock solid, the stock one used to rattle against the front bar and it drove me insane. Never again.

I was planning to run the stock washer bottle as i think it will fit back under the guard... If it does ill get a smaller battery and rotate it 90 degrees so everything remains sort of factory....

If that plan goes to shit, like most plans with the 34 have so far i will likely get a smaller version of what Hanaldo had made :thumbsup:

JJ were selling one but i think it was GTR only?

^^ same issue here , washer bottle nowhere to be found when I bought mine fmic must have taken all the room but i havent popped the front bumper off yet.

Pics would be awesome ,

I bought a R33 washer to see if i could pop that in the top next to the battery but its wayy too big.

I picked up a supercheap universal bottle which seems to fit but downside is theres only one motor in it

some pics of fixes and solutions would be great... i hate driving with dirty windscreens....

on that note , i had a blonde moment where i couldnt take the muck on the windscreen any longer and i had a bottle of water next to me .

i proceeded to try and pour some water on the windscreen (while driving) and the wind ended up blowing it all back into my face.

i sat back thinking....wow that was dumb....

Yes, I should mention that my rear washer doesn't work. It hasn't worked since I put the new engine in, as I used a washer bottle with only one pump. Not sure about over east, but in WA it's only a requirement that the front windscreen washers work, so I'm not fussed about the back one. Back one never seems to get dirty anyway :P

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
