its about a 150mm long piece of 3inch exhaust pipe, then cut your stock intake pipe (i took out 2 of the ridges) and put it back together with some hose clamps

I am, Ben wasn't; I don't think he's a big fan of the old Trust style joins on those GREX coolers. We replaced the oil line that had that extra joiner, too dogdey for me.

Also it was an SR20 oil filter that fits on there. Makes me a little sad that I have to poison my RB with a part from that terrible engine.

Those older style earls joins work fine theyre just not mil-spec.

Yeah the joined line wasnt done by me, was done when i sold it the first time and then they gave it back after cutting it up cos they couldnt make it fit. Dickheads.

ah well, we just binned it and got a brand new one.

Today was a very busy night!

R32 running again and back on the road. Turns out my coilpack loom had been tampered with but is now rewired! Then I had two fouled spark plugs. Slight adjustmentment to timing and I am now running with the Splitfires.

Also managed to get front wipers going at last!

Good to hear mate :D

What was the go with the loom? who'd tampered with it? previous owner or wildlife?

Appeared to be yet another previous owners dodgy work. Wasn't wired correctly(possibly only just twisted wire together) and I may have just pulled apart whatever was taped together. So had nothing going to front 3 coilpacks.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
