What oil u running? Tomei diff oil did the same thing to my clunky nismo centre

Did the first 1000 on the Nismo stuff, then the OS GIKEN 80W-250 went in. That's what Terry advised to run in both front and rear.

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Was lucky enough to drive this on the weekend, it drives really nice till the loud pedal hits the flour then all hell breaks loose, my god the only thing I've felt accelerate faster than that was a turbo charged R1 Yamaha

Very easy to drive between 2-3000rpm with nice smooth acceleration and plenty of drive

Thanks Paul for honour, I enjoyed it immensely, should be a massive weapon on the track when the suspension is finished

PS, sorry about breaking it

Oh yeah fair enough, I thought it must not have been anything major given how you wrote the post. Sounds like a weapon, wished I lived closer so I could catch up with you guys and check it out in person :)

Paul I'm tired of hearing other people drive your beasts........I want to see and hear about numbers i.e drags strip time slips and track day time slips etc... :P

Haha. Yeah yeah. Waiting for these Ikeya bits to arrive from Japan so we can whack the suspension in. I don't think it's gonna happen this Friday like planned. Gonna have to push it back another week.

All in good time ant eater ;).

where do you usually get your alignment done?

I've been going to BT Motorsports and Daniel seems to know what he's doing.

The guy that designed the shocks will be doing this one mang. ;)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
