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

Nice :D Josh & Luke are kool there hey... I think i'm gona go down the drags with'em in a few weeks, I'd ask ya to come but your car isnt ready. When do you expect it to be ripping up the roads anyway?

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)

oh yeah dyno tune soon, needs new timing belt and radiator flush first, might get a cam geaer at same time.... anyone wanna lend me 2g's ???

we have just opened our new workshop at port stephens... check us out at www.dpsmotorsport.com.au or pm or email us at [email protected]

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

    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
