The restrictor is not going into this motor.
This GTR is getting rebuilt stock.
Just so she runs and looks good.


The restrictor is part of the "I'm going to build a power house when I am not poor anymore." engine project.
lol

But if I do build a solid engine it's going to comprise of this:
NISMO oil pump.
TOMEI metal gasket kit.
33 crank.
ARP main studs and head studs.
ACL big end kit.
Tomei sump baffle.
Poncam Series 2.
Adjustable cam gears
Full HKS turbo kit + manifold etc.


Basically a standard 450 whp build.
I wont build it though.
I can fix stuff, but I can't do all the gapping, etc that specialised engine builders can.
Scared of busting my hard earned cash. Rather let croydon racing do the hard work. lol

Very true.

But is it worth running the GTR on the street for normal driving with the restrictor and extended sump?
Do I need an upgraded pump if I do put the restrictor in?

Will it screw up the engine if it is not a built motor?

I can't afford a new motor upfront, and already had half the stuff anyway.

It's going to be stock as.

What do you suggest I do to add on it?
Not looking for power, just want a nice reliable driver.
No hard launches etc on the stock motor.


I WILL build a monster eventually, RB30 block, etc.

I was thinking Genuine parts rebuild like I am doing.
But should I put the restrictor in with the stock pump and stock sump?

So - today I started really getting into it, got the aircon out, etc.

So anyway.
I was told there was a little oil in the radiator fluid, but there wasn't too much.


HAHAHA.
LOLNO.

There was a LITTLE BIT of WATER in the OIL in the RADIATOR.

Still draining.
:-|
Slimy brown sludge. Yeeeaaaaw!


BHG for sure.

I figure seeing as I have no job I'll pull the hard yeards and see it through during the nights due to looking for jobs and calling around during the day.

So here we go...

Front bar off, the number plate bracket bolt was rusted in, drilled it out re-tapped it, and got back to the hard stuff.

Stock? Hmm..
Ah well, free adjustable cam gears. XD

No baffles, nothing. I am disappointed. :-(

No collision damage. :-D

WHAT IS THIS?

Uh, was attached to the horn loom.
Temp sensor of some kind?

Looks slimy.

Old and wrinkly.
lol.

So - now I'm sure it is a blown head gasket, or someone has filled the radiator with baby rear end stuff... >.>

Bought these ages ago after making them on the JDM site thingo.
I have three spares just in case. lol
Ordered these AGES ago too.

More insight into this GTR.


485534_575613869150325_2120060311_n.jpg
Took the aircon condenser out, slowly removing the lines, working my way to the pump.
Put the front member back in with horns etc.

WHAT IS THIS? I think it's a temp sensor? am I right?

So yeah, more things I can't afford to do.
If anyone knows anyone hiring in the north shore, short term, part time etc, looking for minimum of 500 a week.
Please guys, If I get a job I owe whoever gets me one a case of beer of their choice.

:worship:


I have my whitecard, I'm a tyre fitter, can easily adapt to any kind of manual work, did playground construction, and some wood bolster barbed wire fencing.

Short term or long term, just need a job now.
I haven't gotten around to getting my forklift licence yet, but I know how to drive one. lol
If you can help, big thanks ahead of it man. :-)


Back the the GTR.
It had THREE alarm systems in it.

lolwhut
All were hooked up too. haha.
Anyway, all of them are out, making a switch board where the ash tray was and moulding it in, RWD toggle switch, Electric fans toggle switch, Heater bar switch, Ignition switch (cuts the main line on the Start on the column so the switch needs to be on to start the car, which is hooked to a clutch mechanism so the clutch must be in to start also, seeing as I can't trust alarms since the last one failed, I know it all seems stupid to do this, but it'll make sense later down the track.) So yeah....
Four switches I want for no good reason basically. lol.
And I moved the lighter socket to the centre console to charge phones, etc.
I don't want cables everywhere...
:whistling:

OK, GOOD NEWS.
I got a job in the city.

Bad news - I'm fitting exotic tyres and run flats.

Good news - I get 25 bux an hour.

Bad news - I work four and a half days a week.

Good news - I get time to work on the GTR.

Bad news - still on about the same wage due to day pay as last job.

:-\

Got a job though.
Still kickin'.
:-D

    • 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.
