Hey Guys,

Well i took the car to Bel Performance and im VERY happy with the results, they're a very switched on bunch of people and basically got to work as soon as i rolled in, They could tell how the car performed just looking at it! They do a road tune so not sure on the exact figures but its quick! The front of the car lifts off in first and second, and i chirped all 4 tyres at around 60ks without even meaning to.

Strongly recommend these guys!

is your car yellow ER3498GTT getting a RB26 put into it?

I've only seen 3 r34 GTTs in Newcastle.  The Black VNOM one, a Yellow one @ pulse, & a silver one pulled over right next to Beaumont st in the mornings sometimes.

Yeah geno8r my car is the yellow r34 at pulse....and yes...she is getting the RB26 in hehehe

So how did your car turn out?

Hunter Thomas Automotive in Moate st Georgetown (just around the corner and up the road from pulse performance, how long has that been pulse for?? last time i went past there it was Impact Performance)

ask for Paul Thomas, he is the man, he is a direct distributor of HKS and Apexi. he knows his stuff. a mate of mine just got his Power FC tuned for his 180sx, he dropped it off on monday, PT checked it over, road tuned it, then took it down to sydney for dyno tuning, he picked his car up from PT on Thursday.

he doesnt advertise, only word of mouth. he has a standard looking maroon R32 GTR but my god, its crazy, he is also the nicest guy.

give him a call 49681362

anyone who has been there speak up, i know noone has a bad thing to say about him.

cheers

it came to just under $3000, but that was for a full service, road tune, then the coilpacks played up, so there was some diagnostic time aswell as a set of Splitfires and then the dyno tune, i think the tune was $850.

i installed all the hardware into the car myself, then he took it down to pt for tuning.

240rwkw, HKS GTRS, HKS 256/264 cams, Nismo 740cc Injectors, Z32 AFM, FMIC, Full Exhaust, Power FC. very good result. also run a 13.2 with loads of wheelspin through 1st, 2nd and most of 3rd as it is more a drift car.

my cars yet to be taken there.

cheers

me.....FMIC, turbo back 3", thats about it really, 13 psi boost, wanna bigger turbs but i'm back to uni so the budget is now going to be tight.........(read: sucks arse) might start selling drugs for some more income or sumthin, maybe take to organised crime

got PFC installed today, only got a quick tune, its running ok for now, though its running 14 psi (approx) and i've seen 99.6% injector duty so might be bringing the boost down a tad for now, don't want that causing any problems nad yeah idling a tad high, does anyone know where i can get an english copy of the PFC manual for an r33 gts-t s1.5 (series one i spose)

Ok, I Need to get a 100k service, it seems my mechanic is just too busy to do it so I might be going else where this time. 'Personally' I think the job scares them because it requires quite a few parts for an import & they don't usually do that.

Here's my list I'll present to workshops (after you recommend some to me in Newy :P)

100k Service

1995 Nissan Skyline R33, GTS25T (gts-t)

1) Replace Timing belt and ancillary belts (cam, drive, etc.)

2) Change oil and oil filter

3) Coolant system air purge

4) Replace fuel filter

5) Replace spark plugs

Replace Water pump

Replace O2 sensor.

Change Brake & Clutch fluids.

Change Gearbox oil to Redline Lightweight 4L, around 3.7L used.

Change Diff oil to Redline Heavy, 1.5L

Install oil catch can.

Replace Idle bearing and tensioner

Check throttle body / plenum for residue.

Check steering, car pulls to the Left due, the arm underneath may not be in align, was aligned before but not done correctly.

Odometer isn’t working, hopefully just fiddle with it to remove any dust / dirt stopping it.

Exhaust manifold gasket may be needed.

Parts needed:

Nissan timing belt

Ancillary belts (alternator, water pump, cam, drive, etc.)

Oil and oil filter

Coolant

Fuel Filter

Iridium Spark Plugs

NSK bearings

O2 sensor

Any workshop suggestions, What's that one called denhams, danihams, something like that? I don't really want to go to a strictly 'performance' shop because it's not performance work, its just plain old mechanical work, just with jap parts :D

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
