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.

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.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday.
