OEM stuff is fine, though unless you need the gear urgently I'd shop around as I've never found these guys to be particularly competitive on pricing.

Well tbh i havnt looked around yet but under 400 for the full genuine kit with a water pump seems decent to me?

I reckon that's a pretty good deal mate, I had both the normal and N1 water pumps in my old 32, negligible difference in temp on the hand controller between the 2, and no problems with either

I've got a gates belt on the 34 at the moment, 30,000 on it so far with no dramas. Went with a standard water pump over the N1

I think the fact that it's all genuine would tie in well with your build too

clutch pivot ball is squeaking like crazy, got under the car to have a look.
being damn holiday i coudnt get to the shop to buy lube. what lube should i get? something heavy, heavier than wd40 i read.

also as you can see, for some reason i dont have a rubber boot on the fork. hoping its not full of shit i there but i cant be bothered pulling the box out if i dont have to.

anyway to the point, listen to this...make you cringe?? :)
what do you think, is it f**ked or will a lube be ok for a while?

also im assuming i just spray grease here and keep pressing the clutch unill it goes away, is this the contact point or is it the other side, i cant quite see.
i dont wanna be spraying grease on the clutch.
which looks like an exeedy by the purple

Also im trying to work out if that is a small cat or if its just a decat pipe, is there an easy way to find out?
and these look like stock front pipes?

Not sure about the gearbox squeak

But they look like after market mild steel front pipes and a 3" stainless decaf like the just jap ones, had one on my old gtr but you won't know for sure till you check inside the cat

ok, looks like im gonna actually have to address the tires situation before i get the new wheels.
:dry:

Im still blown away how the car can handle on this sort of shit.

oh yeah, then this happened.
all i can say is its kinda a tradition.

clutch squeek is sorted For now.

Took my C pillar out to see if it was repairable and its completely f**ked and fallen to bits, looks like ill finally have to buy another one. Grrr.

Now, how the f**k do I release the bottom clasps to release the back seat (bottom section.) Holding the wire loops On the floor close to the front.

tiny update

sick of the standard bent and generally not fitting numberplates.
was gonna get the xx black plates but they have gone to YY plates which look odd.

so ordered some custom plates which i always thought would suit a gtr.

20150410_125601_zpsbdezqipl.jpg

get it?

im not usually a fan of custom plates but i don't mind something that the very occasional person would get. plus they come in square rear and slim front and are black.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
