tassie newbie

Hi guys,

Greetings from chilly Tasmania. I have owned my 89 GTR since 2005 and have regularly visited sau ,which I have always found to be very informative and quite often very amusing! Up until recently my GTR has been a daily driver and has been only lightly modded ( power fc, greddy dumps & front pipe, hi flow cat,Blitz Nur type R cat back exhaust) but the power bug has bitten and it is time to bite the bullet & do the dreaded turbo swap. Having already had the OEM turbos off to do the dumps ect (wish I could of afforded to do the turbos at the same time,, but budget didn't allow) I know what I am up against & will pre purchase several bottles of Bundy to help ease the pain & also ear plugs for my wife so she doesn't have to hear me lose my shit at Nissan engineers. Another job on the job list is to replace the Nissan candles they pass off as headlights with hids for the projector low beams & 4500k halogen globes for the mains.(yes I know they are illegal but I would rather see the mad bastard kamikazi wallabies that live down here, so hopefully I can avoid them before one of them imbeds themselves into my intercooler). When I tried to adjust the main beams I found that the adjusters were not working & when I removed the grey plastic covers I found the bevel gears inside had split (apparently a common problem) I have looked everywhere to find a fix or replacements but no luck, so my question is , does any of the knowledgeable people in sau land have a fix or know where to get replacements from? With many thanks in advance for any advice.

I have no advice other than read everything you can and make up your own mind. Most people are super helpful, but there's the odd one or two weirdos lurking!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your replies, much appreciated. I had a look at your thread niZmO-Man, great thread & awesome result. As I have already brought a 35w HC3 conversion kit off flea-bay which will arrive sometime this week, I will put them in & see what the result is ( surely they have got to be better than the OEM crap? ) . If not I'll have to go down the Honda Euro route.( lucky for the missus her Honda is a Civic otherwise she might be flying blind!) Still looking for a fix for the adjusters, tried to glue them with Supa Glue ,looked like a win until I tried to press them onto the shaft & they split again. Time for Bundy & another call out for ideas from fellow GTR addicts.

Cheers all

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
