  1. Hey i was wondering if anyone has an aircon hose for an r33 series2 gtst. its the big one that has silver insulation covering it and goes from the firewall to the compressor. I do know that the series1 is different and will not fit so it has to be from series2. PM or SMS me on 0449611791

  3. i just got a speeding fine, he said his laser showed i was speeding, so my question is does this unit tell me if a cop has a radar with a laser before i get in range of it?
  4. Hey im after a secondhand set of adjustable camber arms for the front and back, i dont care what brand they are or how beat up they look as long as they are still strong and will fit straight into my series 2 r33 gtst pm me or sms me 0449611791
  5. i just want to let everyone know that the noise is now gone after replacing the manifold to turbo gasket, it was such a strange noise for a blown gasket but i hope this will help others if they ever get that noise, i want to thank everyone for there help in helping me diagnose and fix the problem
  6. this book looks amazing and would be helpfull to all r32 r33 r34 skyline owners, i want all the removal instructions and imagine what else it could have in it.
  7. i just found out that the pages i posted tgat have removal instructions for interior parts are from a book called "GT-R Owner's Book", it is a 242 page book which has so much information in it, the book sells for about $150. Does anyone have this book at all and can tell me what kind of stuff is in it exactly. Here is a link to the book http://www.amazon.com/GT-R-OWNERS-BOOK-Japan-Import/dp/B006H4NH9E
  8. hey i searched for the sizes of these everywhere before i removed my turbo cos i wanted to buy new ones but i couldnt find the answer anywhere so i thought i would let other people know the sizes. The one on the top of the turbo is the oil banjo bolt and the copper washers are OD-18mm ID-12mm and the water ones on each side of the turbo are both the same and are OD-24mm ID-18mm. Each banjo bolt has a copper washer on either side of it so there are 2 copper washers for each one, so if you wanted to replace all of them you need 2x18mm and 4x24mm

    Aircon Hose

    im after the silver aircon hose that runs from the firewall to the compressor, it must be from a series2 r33 gtst cos the series1 is different.
  10. come on guys im sure someone has some hard to find skyline stuff like diagrams and original removal instructions for stuff like interior parts which is hard to find, it doesnt matter if its in japanese or not cos i will translate it and repost it, i know stuff like this is out there cos a company got a hold of some stuff like this and translated it so i know its out there
  11. ok i just removed the turbo off the manifold and as i could see the gasket blown, it came off in 2 peices it was that badly blown out lol ok so while its off i might as well examine it, does anyone know how much movement should be in it from side to side and in and out for example, and is there anything that is safe to clean and service myself while its off. Yeah since my noise only seems to happen when the turbo is boosting and having such a badly blown out gasket im assuming this is what was causing the noise, i guess i will find out when i put it back on.
  12. damn it i thought i could remove the manifold to turbo nuts and move the turbo enough to get the new gasket on without removing it totaly, doesnt look like it. Anyways i removed the 4 nuts and i was surprized that they wernt really tight and i know that i tightened them up really tight when i put it back on last time so im guessing they vibrated loose a bit, they are normal non lock nuts and it uses like a metal plate that you are supposed to bend the tags on it to press up against the side of the nuts to keep them tight but i think its not a very good design at all, has anyone replaced this with using 4 lock nuts exactly like the manifold nuts cos they are they fit perfectly. I actually found a post by someone saying they had a screaching noise coming from there turbo cos of this exact gasket being bad, it sounds similar to my noise and i can actually see a bit of my gasket missing and i remember a crack being in the gasket when i put it back on but i thought it would be ok haha stupid me, i would have got a new one at tge time but the car was in bits and i had no one that could drive me to get a new one.
  13. thanks i just wanted to make sure b4 i tried it lol
  14. is it safe to bypass my boost controller by simply running a straight hose from the wastegate to the stock intercooler nipple?
  15. thankyou for your reply guys, it seems to get louder with speed but the sound is consistant, i feel like it only happens when there is boost pressure. I have a turbosmart dual stage boost controller that i might try bypass to give it a test when i change the manifold to turbo gasket that is bad
  16. anyone have an idea what this noise could be?
  17. is there any other way to authenticate it to prove its real? the receipt just shows that a real one was purchased once and nothing proving that its the exact bag, so thats why i was wondering if there are other ways to check if its authentic. My girlfriend would love this bag
  18. test.mp3 it didnt record well and was louder in the car but you can hear it when i accelerate. The fan/alternator belt is the only belt on the car and it is new, i think it seems to be louder when im turning and start accelerating which is why i removed the power steering belt first but the noise was still there
  19. it would be good if i could hook up just the water pump and not the alternator, at least i would know if it was the alternator or not, but even if i found a hose that would fit there would be no way to put it in and tension it to work lol maybe a pantyhose hahaha i heard that they work but i highly doubt it
  20. ouch good point, im going to get the gasket in the morning and i will post the noise it makes on the way, does anyone happen to know what size the eye bolt copper washers used on the turbo for the oil and water, i want to change them while im near the turbo tomorrow cos i didnt put new ones on when i replaces the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago, damn it i should have measured them when i had them in my hand last time or got new ones then
  21. ok your right i will put the belts back on and go get a gasket now if i can find one and i will record it on my way to get one, thankyou for your help and i will post the noise soon and let you know if the new gasket fixed it
  22. especialy since it sounds so much like a belt or pulley
  23. you hit on something there actually mate, the turbo gasket is bad but i didnt think it would give a noise like this if it was a manifold to turbo gasket
  24. the belts are all off right now cos i was going to take it for a 60second drive to check it out, if it was on i could record the sound and post it here. if i did drive if with no belts and the temperature doesnt get over half would that be safe, what im asking is it obly the temperature i have to worry about if i dod drive it quickly
  25. so it seems that its only when under load
