I have to agree with weezy on this one. Even when I was a 20 yr old noob who knew nothing abou cars, the one thing that was hammered into me again and again from mechanically inclined friends was 'replace the timing belt, its cheaper than having to repair the damages when it goes'. Its almost common knowledge (i cant presume that everyone can read or interpret technical notation when it comes to tensillary strength or wear and tear. I'd also argue sled, that those who spin bearings a) dont replenish their oil or b) punish their cars more than what it was originally sold as - and by that I mean a street car. Only people I ever read about spinning bearings are those who dont service their car often enough or those that are doing trackduties with the racing grade oil pumps without the head restrictor. Contrary to popular opinion, one can run a stock oil pump for daily use, as well as some track days. It doesnt have the high feed as a nitto/nismo/tomei etc oil pump, and hence does not require the head restrictor. What it does do however is not cavitate under high RPM, so for an entry level track car/daily, an N1 oil pump should be the go. If I was to switch to a highflo oil pump, I'd get the restrictors, baffles, and all of that, but for a lot of people on this forum (like me) its just absolute overkill. For a streeter, keep the n1 pump (with a collar if you have an early model32) and then just get a welch plug return from the rear of the head to the sump. Head baffles from mines are handy too... -D

I'd recommend getting an R32 ECU and chucking nistune on there, and chuck that in the 33... would be very inexpensive ($200 for the daughterboard, $40 for fitting + the cost of a 2nd hand 32 ecu)...only thing u might have to do is change the o2 sensor depending on what ur 33 already has... ive had my nistune for 24 hrs and im loving it more than a fat kid loves cake -D

Cmon dude, u know u want to ;P -D

I'd like the JJR/autech over the head cylindrical catch cans... -D

Or you can get nisstune for $200 and the daughterboard for the $250 mark. Real time tuning, regency friendly. -D

yeah i'd love to get my last 3 "speeding fines" (as if anything under 60kph is speeding *ptoie*) a run in th system if he overturns it -D

I use the BP 98, the Mobil 98 and the Caltex 98. Have used vpower before, no complaints. I've ran the mobil 98 for the longest amount of time, however since caltex took mobil over, theyve been offering the same fuel, so I go to either now. Never had issues with fuel on my tune. -D

Yeah I plan to get the fine tune this week before I go fishing I did have a rather noticeable power drop from 2500-3500 rpm depending on load but that seems to have gone. Might end up buying a wideband o2 sensor to play around with too... -D

25 boxes probably are just as tough as the gtr boxes if they do use the same gears, they'd also have the added bonus of fitting a rwd car better than the gtr xfer case... for street driving the boxes should hold up quite decently, but if ur gonna give the car a good working out with a beefy engine i suppose thats when you go to osgiken or dog boxes ;P I'd love the os giken kit tbh but theyre $5k per set... -D

Got my nisstune addon today Pete from PLMS chucked his wideband sensor in my tailpipe and gave it a quick 15 minute street tune... Cars runnning muuuuch better, no stuttering and the K constant has been adjusted to account for the 575cc injectors. Wooooot -D

total pron -D

Nope, you're thinking straight cut gears (PPG, Hollinger)... the os giken gearsets are the same synchromesh gears the stock box has, but made of higher quality metal (with slightly different ratios too) I've read in other places from SAU that the GTR gearbox is the strongest of the lot steve, can you point us towards any documentation that says otherwise? The 25 has the same gear ratios as the gtr but not the same xfer case, aside from common gears I dont know if theres any other differences in the running gear, aside from the previously mentioned mods that were applied to s2 33 gtrs -D

Theyre the strongest out of all the models of skyline, but then they also modified the gearboxes when the s2 r33 gtr was released (double synchros, stronger 3rd gear)... Standard GTR boxes are good for around the 500hp mark, after that you run the risk of stripping 3rd, which is where the ppg and os giken kits come into effect. For dans use tho, I think a standard 3rd gear out of any late GTR box will be enough - unless he wants to spend the $5k on the osgiken gearset.. -D

Yep and they're cheap too, around $25, and theyre a dry filter, meaning they dont need oiling (which sometimes gets on the AFM sensor and stuffs it) -D

Os Giken kits are also very good, strong gears at a more racing biased ratio That's what I'd get if I blew the 33 gtr box... -D

For some reason my browser is acting wiggy, I deleted my win7 beta installation and installed win7 ultimate final retail, and for some reason the version of firefox i'm using wont let me do what i want to do... and tbh im still installing software so i think its something ill look at later...its annoying the hell out of me tho -D

You have the same gbox as me I'll sell u my gearset + synchros once Ive fitted the 33 gtr s2 box ;P (if u want it) -D

I can get you a set from the US if you're happy to wait a couple weeks -D

Ministry of Bass can help you out with the piping I'm pretty sure, and then you'll just need to go to any auto shop and get a standard 60mm or 80mm Pod filter (I recommend 3A filters) Should be relatively pain free to fit -D

Sounds just like an AFM proble I had similar symptoms till I replaced my AFM's with some reconnect ones. Pete at PLMS can recondition the AFM's if it turns out to be them.. -D

When I read this post initially, I thought it said 'my car hates emos' and i was wondering if you'd taken 2 or 3 of the eyeline wearing twats out, but I can see how a big emu could cause those dents... still, its never a bad thing to hit emos too -D

hell yeah, im looking forward to my charter next week. spent today cooking the wet dishes and buying the groceries that dont require freshness... gonna take my crabnets and squid jigs to moonta, interested in how big the blueys are since theyve been very small at ardrossan Getting nistune addon early next week. Cant wait.. -D

Will be ordering a bunch of injectors next week on Wed the 3rd If you'd like a set, please PM me with details about your engine type and desired capacity. NB the dollar isnt as good as what it was last month, but in most cases a set of 6 average capacity injectors still run $600-700, or big ones (1000cc+) for just under $1000 Disclaimer - I'm not making money off of this, but the more people that order, the more they all save on shipping costs. Can get injectors from 333-2100cc -D

hitting a moose in anything short of an m1 abrams tank is going to end badly for the passengers... moose usually gets up and walks away after getting hit by a medium sized car... people think theyre the size of a horse but theyre huge... -D
