Campbell....seriously mate.....take his advice - KEEP YOUR MOUTH AWAY FROM THE NITROUS INJECTORS WHILE YOU ARE GOING 150MPH BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE ERECTION PROBLEMS.

I think yunnowho up there lives inside a bubble....lol.

No one wants to see you dead 'if', knock on wood, you ever need the roll cage. Because the way you have set everthing up is dodgy and you may as well rip the cage and the harness out for all the good it's not going to do you in a crash.

3lit3 32,

The gas is known to sometimes leak out of the thread on the bottle. Even when you have checked it and properly thread taped it. You don't want to have taken a few lung fulls of gas before rampaging off down the track at 150mph it's not good for thinking straight if something should happen, thats racing. It's an anesthetic and thats why the manufacturers of every kit say put it in the boot with outside ventilation. You also don't want nitrous or fuel lines running inside the cabin for obvious reasons. If the reasons aren't obvious to you ask a manufacturer of the kits any one of them will tell you the same thing.

I really think you should have some type of neon lighting on each bottle.

Are you sure that the bottles weren't leaking a little when you decided to mount them there?

Honestly, stick them in the boot and mount the harnesses properly, visual appeal kind of goes out the window if you have an accident and end up hanging out the front window with a nitrous bottle lodged in the back of your head.

You won't be doing any racing if I am scrutineering, it'll be "pack you bags and don't come back until you have fixed it".

:P cheers :D

yes...scrutineering...harnesses are a big thing, if they arent at the right angle, they dont do the right job as SK said already. Dates too. Cant be out of date! If its for drag racing, im assuming andra have a rules and regs book like the fat cams one we all have that you would have followed when building certain aspects of the car for drag racing. Safety is always big in motorsport, just like in WH&S. Lets just hope it doesnt slow down our cars and turn us into unionised bludgers! :(

well i understand the rules as i said the drivers harnesses go to safety points on the rear parcel shelf and the passengers arnt long enough i am waiting to modify them not sure how as the shoulder straps dont even reach the floor behind its weard any way if the drivers side belt is connected properly wich it is then they cant stop me from racing as they havent before....

i posted this thread to get th0oughts about my nitrous set up i do realise i have to change the passenger side belt from on top of the cage i dont need 10 people telling me what i already no.

the reason the belt is not long enough is that the one you have bought is not designed for a sedan. it has the straps for either an open wheeler, or a roadster (like and MX5 or clubman etc). they bolt the shoulder straps right behind the drivers shoulders. I'm not sure that there is any way you can legally modify it, i would just try and sell it and buy the correct belt. :P

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      By donut_kng · Posted

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.

      Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
