I've donated enough to the Nissan car gods lol...

The more I spend on this shit box, the less money I have to put towards a fast, stock, modern car.

That is slower, less fun, and less reliable in every single way.. not to mention much more expensive.

Picked up this mud kitchen from PL Fabrication for free. I assume I've spent enough money there so the least he could do is give it away for free LOL.

Anyhow, lightly sanded the cnut down and then hit it with Dulux outdoor paint, can't remember what colour it is (missus chose it) but I'm a bit colour blind so let's call it light grey. I suppose you could say #builtnotbought lol.

Drove to Scarborough for lunch, snapper fish pie was decent, even had prawns in it.

Then drove home, gave it a hit and kissed the limiter and left my 50km old PS belt somewhere on the highway lol.

Yuh, PS belts are a bit like the inside of the engine. If you touch it, it will f**k up again immediately. I shredded a brand new PS belt. Threw another one on, taking just as much care as the first time (ie, enough) and at some later time had a look in the bay for another reason and found the belt had come off over the front of the pulley and was running with one rib off. WTF!? So the usual full dismantle of the intake piping etc ensued, to provide access to the PS pump area to back it off and prise it back on. Bastard things.

RB shit box curse.

Don't see JZs with this problem. 

Just waiting on the Ross PS idler kit to come, hopefully a good bandaid.

I hate this car, literally drive the heap of shit once a month and of course once a month something breaks, albeit small.

Needs more LS, I literally thrash the bejebus out of the bogan cruise ship every day, started at 260ish killer wasps, now around 360 killer wasps, stock heads, stock bottom end, not to shabby for a old dinosaur push rod engine

Over the 2 odd years I've had it it has racked up about 35k km, and at 150k km it is basically only just run in

It never uses oil, never really breaks, apart from the usual maintenance for a 20 year old mass produced shit box

You should buy that BMW

I need to buy that BMW, first just need to offload this shit box.

Funny how Nissan went from a 4 rib to a 3 rib then back to a 4 rib belt power steering belt throughout the shit box RB era.

I suppose revving the car 2700rpm past its intended rev limiter doesn't help either LOL.

You have a 4 rib PS belt, for whatever reason they threw the intern to design the R33 RB25DET PS and he/she thought a 3 rib belt would have been great on the R33 RB25DET.

They probably realised it was a bad idea, a generation later they went back to a 4 rib.

Just had a look, very cool.

They probably don't announce it so they don't draw a crowd. Makes filming and risk management much easier.

 

Meanwhile, donating more money to the car gods. Some donate to charities, some donate to churches, some to pokies, I donate to car gods.

You spelt astra pump wrong 

Man the thought of implementing it scares me, I have no time these days and no space to take on such projects.

Also not keen on getting a shop to do it because they would charge too much.

It’s stupidly easy, 2 hoses and 3 wires (+ve, -ve, trigger) 

It's the mounting, and making hose part that is giving me anxiety lol.

Sure, I plumbed my fuel and oil system myself but yeah nah I'm done with doing shit now.

Which Astra pump do you use?

Is there a certain year range, and do you end up buying from a wrecker and rebuilding, or is someone selling them new (with Holden now goneskies)

I got one second hand off eBay and it came with the bracket that I modified to install it, I can’t remember what generation it came off

    • Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys   
    • perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything
    • I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
    • lol already been put in temporarily 3 years ago
    • Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
