got a metal inlet/exhaust gasket kit, few speedflow fittings, oil pump and gasket ahead of the weekend. No fkn way im gonna be pulling this motor out again lol. On that topic, anyone got a black heater hose kit for 32 gtr laying round?

All good man, Im really after the hoses under the plenum as i vaguely recall someone telling me they split in their old age...

Or maybe after watching your car piss coolant at the calendar cruise i realised that sucks and i'd rather not have to pull the motor again :)

split dump is fouling the wastegate for some reason.

dunno why... it worked fine for ages, now i cant grind enough out to make it work, ill grind through.

wtf happened? dunno.

Time to get a bellmouth dump, maybe all new system.

7 hours and no luck...

you need a break, eat & drink for brain power, do some reading on the forums, and the solution/problem will become clearer.

We had the works !

Drinks and Rob (Not a Pulsar) on the phone giving us guidience, also Google was a bit of a mate on the night.

A lot of it was testings up the road so pulling in and out = sucked. But, some boys on SAU reckon they've got the fix. My Spark plugs may not be "gapped". So will check that and HOPEFULLY it'll stop misfiring.

Trying to figure out Overheating when sitting above 110kph..

Fresh coolant and clean, no luck..

New thermostat and more coolant. time to test again, fingers crossed.

Slight change in temps across radiator, so maybe some minor blockage there, look into a proper flush next, or just upgrade it as I want to do that anyway..

got motor out, changed all the water hoses and inlet gaskets, removed the remainder of the wtin turbo water and vacume lines that arent used and tidied up the engine bay a bit. pretty productive, not as much as id hoped though :/

no wheels for me tomorrow so yall have fun without me

Are you painting them another colour?

I really wouldn't mind painting mine

I was considering painting the centers Black but after the enormous sh!tfight I've had stripping them I might leave them as is.

I do like the result alot. You reckon I should paint Black or not?

Much better than the uneven goldish crud they had when purchased. (SAU Third or Fourth Handies)

I have painted some R32 GTS-t rims before and it was a heap of fun. Not bad result either.

Looks good. Painting those wheels black may be too unnoticeable. How much did all the stuff you need cost? Im convinced I must do this now.

Any ideas what colour wheels would suit maroon?

So far the paint stripping exercise has cost me less than $40. Paint stripper gel and wire brushes. I bought some brushes to use on a drill but they got little use. Hand job FTW!!!

The painting of the GTS-t rims was all done with cheap cans from Supercheap (except the primer) but if I do it again, I would use better paint like engine enamel as it should be tougher and longer lasting.

OT. I washed my car and drove it to "WHEELS" at the Racecourse. With the wind and dust, it is dirtier now than before I washed it! :(

Show pics of car with rims you want to paint for colour choice suggestions... Black, Gold or Bronze should be good with Maroon though. :)

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
