not yet. the head has to come off for inspection of the valves and thats a fairly big job. am trying to rally together a team of mechanics to do it in the garage at home cos i havent got enough money to pay a workshop to do it. will have to take it from there, hopefully its just a valve which needs replacing in which case i should be able to get it fixed fairly cheaply. theres just alot of labour involved thats all

yes im torn between wanting the best for my car and being a tightarse cos i cant afford the best for my car.

But i learnt from the ZX - mates rates are not a good thing! specially with these kinds of cars - its good if u have mates that actually know what they are doing instead of mates that have worked on everything but an import. hehe so im determined to do it right this time even if i have to save doubley hard to get what i want in the bloomin thing!

i find it more expensive to fix other peoples mistakes haha e.g took ZX to service dept working fine but with fuel smell 3 weeks later pick it up because they had pulled it apart and did nothing with it - car barely worked just got it to another dept 20mins away. hmmm then it took $700 to fix the other depts mistakes and get it working again. refused to pay the other dept.

they were so lazy putting it back together that some of the bolts from the manifold were left under the windscreen wipers. Nissan workshop but not one that deals with imports - dont think they had a friggin clue what they were looking at - in that case they should of told me before they proceeded to pull it apart. Then they tried to hit me up for $250 worth of labour i just was a wreck at that time so my ex sorted them out and went absolutely sick at the guy - classic. we didnt pay it luckily just the $700 to fix the mess.

yeh well me macka shannon and paul are all going to attack it this weekend. along with tristan a guy i know from work whos rebuilt his RB25 and various other engines and knows his shit. fingers crossed it comes together alright

i prefer doing it myself, that way if anything goes wrong theres no-one else to blame but yourself. and if you take your time doing it its easy to do a professional job

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
