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 dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
