give or take a few years, you'll end up doing it LOL

more power, more torque, more response, more cheaper, less heat issues, less piping, less hoses to fail, less shuffle, less blown rear turbo

hahaha

So I bit the bullet and had the motor removed to do all the heater hoses along with anything else that popped up.

Plenty more nasty little surprises but at least its getting sorted and will help me sleep better now.

Here's some progress pics.....all new genuine Nissan hoses.

So motors all back in now and running well.

While it was out I had the plenum painted wrinkle black to match everything else once I get round to it.

Have just had some new Hankook Rs-3 tyres fitted and I'm off to get a wheel alignment this arvo and that should be it ready for this weekends hillclimb.

Nothing feels better than KNOWING that everything is right. All the little things are taken care of. Then you can have the spirited drives with out that little niggle at the back of your mind.

Just a note if you already haven't replaced them are the two plastic connectors on the firewall. One at the back of the plenum which just connects two water hoses and the other behind the cam cover for the heater hose junction. They are prone to fall apart from the inside and flick plastic pieces into your coolant system. Well worth replacing if you haven't already.

A few pics from the weekends hill climb (I believe it is the fastest speed hill climb in Australia)

I think I was the slowest in my class but I had a ball and managed to drive there and home so can't complain about that. (Unfortunately some weren't so lucky :()

Time for some more suspension work ready for the next one in August.

ye there's vids on youtube, search 'R32 GTR crash mt alma 2016'

Never like to see that happen obviously but this guy especially was a top bloke, was really cut up afterwards obviously.

Another GTR (32) and a few evo's had some pretty big offs too :-/

ye Glyn, I think it was a case of just too much speed, I chatted to him afterwards but didn't go into the details, doesn't look too fast but I believe he was somewhere around 170-180kph around there :-/

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
