Yeah no more updates, the car is just being daily driven and serviced until I can sell it. Purchased my R34 and it's build thread will be up as soon as it arrives. Still need to do another comp test

Back to the story.

After finishing up at nats and having a mad time things went back to normal.

Just the usual things started with the car.

Removed my turbo timer and came across this mess.

Not sure who the hell did this home job but it all got removed and fixed.

After a few spirited runs through the cotter I noticed that my intake gasket was shot.

So I ordered a new one online and did some research on how to change it.

At the same time I decided to get rid of the hicas and chuck a lock bar in it.

The intake gasket is a farking bitch to change! cut the fark out of my knuckles, lost a spanner (still haven't found it lol)

If you ever have to change one then make sure you have ratchet spanners because they are awesome!

Well it only took me a week to do :P but Yeh, it's very tidy and works much better than it used too. Hopefully yours does too! Good job on pulling out the turbo timer too, I'm glad to be rid of mine. Should have listened to everyone that told me when I put it in, but I was all excited about having a turbo car :laugh:

Haha that's exactly what I was looking forward to when I purchased the car. Felt like a sick karnt walking away from the car while it idled for a while.

The novelty wore off within a few months and I couldn't turn the damn thing off otherwise the car wouldn't start. Home job wiring

Yehhh, mine stopped working. Wouldn't keep the engine running, but kept the electrics on for 30 seconds. Means my oil pressure gauge would scream at me when I shut the engine down at the pressure dropped below 20psi :laugh: So far no sign of my old starting issues either, so I'm hoping they were related to the turbo timer.

ANYWAY, got round to doing the throttle sealant yet?

It's been one day dude haha

Throttle body sealant will be done this weekend I hope.

I'm going to use some glue that I have here and make sure it's a really fine film so that it breaks when I open the throttle.

I will report back how this goes.

The proper sealant can be purchased but its $80 for a small tin

Fark that

Make sure that glue is oil resistant, you don't want blow-by breaking down the glue and having it fly into your motor :/ Personally I'd fork out for the correct stuff, $80 is cheaper than causing other problems...

Communal goo? - sounds like soggy SAO game !

but Robs onto something. I think there would be a number of locals who might need/use

or perhaps a shop like Trojan might part with enough to help you out.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
