haha yes it was meant to be subtle :( (and yes i do know the meaning of the S word) haha

Gee whiz old man - don't act like I'm the pain in the ass that I am - surely you knew that when you sold me a car?

Anyways, question is this: there is a shitload of piping on the GTR; balance pipes between the turbs, etc, etc. Makes working on the car tricky & ppl tell me that it is mainly for emission control - can you tell me what can go & what needs to stay in order for the engine to run properly?

Ahhh , sometimes it's so hard ....

Those little 10/10/10 plates means ypu have 30gms of weights on that wheel.

God you must be good , cos sometimes your SOOOO blonde.

hehehe

I did a THOROUGH detail of the inside after that i lost all motorvation, looked for these thingies on wheels but couldnt find them - not that i had a clue what i was looking for in the first place - so i'll do the rest of the cleaning in bits n piece thru out the week - might even take train to work so car stays nice n clean once its done

micko im not sure which hoses u can remove in a GTR but i did a cleanout of my engine bay over the last 6 weeks and its made a big difference to appearance and i can see the oil filter now too! not to mention changing the spark plugs is no longer the 30min job it used to be with all the crap over the cams

Sorry Micko , missed the :( on the end , wasn't meant to sound like you are the pain in the arse.Hehehehe

Balance pipes ??

A lot of the pipes are oil and water lines that run between the terbs and are essential for terb wellbeing.

Not much emission stuff around there ??

Don't know who told you that and YES , they are a pain to work on. That's why I'm getting the engine pulled ( yes , some thing else I pull as well Niz:D ) to do the terb swap .

cheers

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
