It's a prick on a 34 GTT too. More so than the 33 and Stag.

Frustration saw me flex the cover plate back over until it broke in 2. :angry:

Easier to remove in 2 pieces and get to the plugs if you loose the patience to remove all the other stuff.

Now I regret it :/

So easy on the R32 GTR. But that's about the only thing that is......

The Cam Breather fitting is the biggest bitch as it gets in the way of the Valley cover removal process. (different on 33)

Put a decent lever inside it and gently turn it 90 degrees, makes things alot easier... :thumbsup:

This is a 33 I think. (Google Image)

On a 34 the metal fitting is turned inwards and the spout gets in the way.

Turn it like the 33 for easier access, twist it back when you're done.

It's quite easy and straight forward. Remove all the things that are in the way and put them back the same way you took them out but in reverse. NA motors are more painful to change than DETs

The twin intake thing would make it a massive pain in the ass. Although, you sorta deserve it for buying an NA.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
