  1. Which model dude? R32 are different from R33. I have an R32 GTS one and an R32 GTSt/GTR one. Stan are the R34 ones the same as S15?
  2. Hey Gareth Yes dude the GTR indicators are wider. GTSt ones will fit but look stupid. I had to use one for a few weeks. The only real option for clear GTR indicators is d-speed in Japan. Around $500 delivered to Aust. You can buy smoked or clear. Other than that, it's wait for someone here to sell their D-speeds. Mark
  3. Hi mate. Yes, it'll be the early one with the lugs at 2/8 (ish). I'm pretty sure it is the ON-110. If you ring Autobarn and ask for a p/n on the Momo boss kit to suit Skyline "with SuperHICAS" (that's what is written on the box and in the lookup book). Whatever p/n they tell you is the one for the LATE MODEL R32. Please let me know if I can clarify further, it's easier to talk about it over the phone. If you pull the wheel off you should be able to find a p/n somewhere...?
  4. Far out. I've been using 40psi in 245/40/18s for over a year now. D'oh. I might give 36psi a try for a few weeks
  5. Bob I'm pretty sure the two kits are p/n ON-110 and ON-115. The early R32s have HICAS lugs at 2 and 8 o clock, and the late model (series 2 with textured ashtray + surround) have the HICAS lugs at 12 and 6 o clock. Hope it helps.
  6. Thanks for your reply dude. Time to head back to google to suss out how to test for a short. The reasons I asked is because my clock has never worked (tried 2 replacements). The fuse seems to be ok so I'm still trying to work out where things are stuffing up - I've not yet tested for power and I vaguely remember something about aftermarket head units causing problems with the Acc power to the clock... Did you seriously bin the entire enterior?? Can't be stuffed to sell some bits?
  7. The price is quite reasonable if there is good life left in the clutch. Dead twin plate = $150 Exedy clutch kit = $800 Labour to overhaul clutch = $300 I wouldn't lower the price unless you need fast cash.
  8. Nice work Chris. Mate did you find it through visual inspection or did you manage to test for it?
  9. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisei It's not that weird, just different. The non-Christian Japanese may well think measuring your calendar in relation to the birth of Jesus is weird too
  10. 21st Century Performance by Julian Edgar. Great book. It includes a lot of 'mythbuster' type tests to prove what is true and what is bollocks. It has a great section on handling and suspension. It's a great general read up on performance cars. There are a few imports in there and most of the tests he does include testing an SR20. Edgar is (was?) the editor of Autospeed.com.au
  11. Which boss kit did you use for the Momo wheel? There are two available for R32 - one for early models and one for late models. THe HICAS lugs line up differently and will cause HICAS errors if you use the incorrect boss.
  12. The output should oscillate between a highest minimum of 0.4V and lowest maximum of 0.8V with a freq>0.8Hz. I had a picture/excerpt from the RB25 manual but can't find it Looks good to me dude
  13. I don't mean to be rude Roy but I can't see anywhere that he said an RB26 turbo. I assumed an RB25 turbo - isn't that what a lot of GTSt guys fit? R33 series 2 is the primo one?
  14. And for the record, I have a 17 year old car with an RB26 that puts along nicely.
  15. 1993 and VSpecII are mutually exclusive. Something smells with that car. Hurrah for FAST software
  16. And ABS-free too, if memory serves
  17. Added to General Maintenance FAQ thanks to GTST's comphrehensive post
  18. Andrew they're the same ones Beer Baron posted a few weeks (months?) back.
  19. Great tutorial, thanks for putting the time in to write it up and update the thumbnails. It has encouraged me to mount my relocator that has been sitting on the bench for nearly a year... As an aside, can you use any oil cooler? That may sound weird but I've seen a whole lot of R33 auto trans coolers going for $30ish in the for sale section. Are coolers made to suit specific viscosities? Cheers
  20. I was a long time Armorall-fanboy - till I found Meguiars Shine Magic. The Shine Magic even says on the back "does not leave oily residue like some other common cleaning products"... pretty cheeky but it is the business. It has brought life back to my window trims and interior door handles.

  22. ^^ cool idea Troy Another fix could be a carby gasket. They come quite small and have a groove on the outside, the opposite to a thermostat gasket, if you follow...
  23. Hi James. You may be on the right track when you mention fuel. The hardest the fuel pump will ever work is when the throttle is wide open and the motor is a high RPM. If it is hesitating when you're asking it for max effort but it is going ok when you just crawl up to high RPM, it could well be the bad batch of fuel has clogged your fuel pump or filter. Have you tried changing the fuel filter? Are you able to have the pump flow tested? If they are a boot install in the R33 it may be worth your while to remove it and have it checked. As you mentioned, it could also be a clogged injector, but you wouldn't expect such a pronounced effect if only one was clogged. If you DIY as much as possible, you'll save lots of money. Last weekend the radiator in my 626 daily driver busted itself (top tank cracked). I took it out myself, had a workshop repair/clean, the self-install and saved around $300 in labour. As Chris mentioned above, it could be a coil pack. Do you know how to test your coils? It's down to process of elimination dude That said, I had the same symptoms in my 180SX years ago and it was a cactus fuel pump. Cheers Mark
  24. erm I think I have sorted my gallery, by accident... To any of the guys with gallery issues, have you tried clicking "Edit my album" at the bottom of the left frame? I clicked there, then used the "Controls" pull-down box on the right hand side, uploaded one image, and now it all seems to work nicely! Perhaps something has recently been fixed and perhaps it was me not looking hard enough for the interface/GUI I was used to seeing...? Anyway, food for thought it you have 30secs to see if your own gallery is sorted.
