1993 R32 GTS 4-lug to 5-lug conversion
robbo_rb180 replied to oversided's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Rears will work depending on what handbrake backing plate you use. Some bearings have an a stand off on top and some are plain so require right one. -
Rust on the wheel wells - should i be concerned?
robbo_rb180 replied to kevboost7's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
Remove old coating, wire wheel affected areas and treat with product, prep and reseal with your choice of product. Depends how deep the rust goes may need to do some patch panels. Had similar on one of my cars and did the above, used a underbody coating after treating and repairing sections. -
Anyone running Ohlin coilovers?

https://mcasuspension.com/ https://www.shockworks.com.au/ Contact one of these companies, listen to what they say and buy the recommended product. Nothing is cheap when it comes to good suspension -
In Qld if you sell more than 6 cars a year generally you will require a dealers licence. I bet its one of the kids that has access to large sums of dollars from "undisclosed parties" that buys cars and flips them from industrial sheds. Buyer beware as some of those types of cars go missing after being sold...........

RB26 #5 amd #6 compression low........rebuild time
robbo_rb180 replied to GohiraDave's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
The time and skill it takes to reverse engineer is hard for 98% of people that just want to plugin and go. Especially when it comes to displays and modules. We have a guy in Australia that has finally put out a how to for unlocking the link ecu password protection. For the OP who ever is tuning the car will recommend an ECU that they may be more comfortable/familiar with too so have a chat with them on what they use normally. With the turbos if not aiming for big power and want the stock look have a look at high flowing current turbo's, @hyper-gear have a great reputation over here. -
RB26 #5 amd #6 compression low........rebuild time
robbo_rb180 replied to GohiraDave's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
That model is so old. An elite series with knock control would be the go but need the silly patch harness. Link ecu do a g4x plugin with more functionality for a better price and not locked to one environment of product. -
use what ever centre you want and get Brock at Leeson Engineering to weld the 6 bolt/gtr/Z flange on them. Also 300zx TT shafts same as Gtr/Z and r230 is 31 spline so same as some 33 gtr with r200. Also Neat Gearbox do new harder gears, yes they are expensive but better than going through a heap of used 30 year gears. What IPRA car has the Z diff upgrade? did they use the gktech bushes or mod the sub frame?

Idle fluctuating then stalls
robbo_rb180 replied to Eric0's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
The 150A breaker is it a quality item? Thats a big current trip Does the afr change and go lean? sounds like a possible lean issue with popping or if rich check coil voltage. Check IACV resistance when cold and warm. Also disconnect and see if same issue occurs. Did you upgrade the alternator wiring when you did the upgrade? Check wiring at alternator as could have a steel/braided line running over the B+ terminal -

Best Brake Upgrade for Looks
robbo_rb180 replied to waggat's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
As has been said its mainly bleeding correctly. Bleed lines to caliper, Bleed at master (ensure you bench bleed before fitting)(may require another bleed at caliper) then bleed at the ABS unit. Go for a drive and rebleed calipers and ABS module. Won't have any problems if done right -
Look good, I am more interested in that cast manifold they are testing....

Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx
robbo_rb180 replied to robbo_rb180's topic in Motorsport Builds
So.......... Morgan Park was a fail on the brakes. One fast lap and still shudder. Had another booster from a s14 here so put it on and straight away with a quick blocky was so much better. Now I have a good work area again I spent the time to go right through the car, bolt check and marking everything. Found a notchy front wheel bearing so replaced it. Full fluid check too. Felt better after doing this as hadn't been done since January. With all this done next opportunity I had to drive was at Lakesides All Asian Day with 2 sprint sessions. Was a bit cautious on the warm up and first fast lap, felt good so sent it. Did a 59.07 then back to back 59.0's second session. Brakes felt great but took an extra lap to come up to temp. Was fastest car there by a considerable amount and shocked a few by how simple the car is. My mate with his mazda 2 was doing 68's making some fast cars look silly in the corners. All this was prep for Time Attack round 3 at Queensland Raceway. Was a cold morning and track took a while to warm up. Used the first session as warmup. The next 2 sessions went and ran 59.0's on clubman layout so was pretty happy as been chasing that for a while, there were mistakes on all laps but got a solid base to work from now. Car was great all day with only a small bit of oil from one of the side diff seals. Made a video Thats it for now, give it a wash ready for next event on the 22 June. -
Why not use something like this? http://www.radiumauto.com/FCST-Fuel-Cell-Surge-Tank-P1497.aspx small high volume low pressure lift pump and 2x 400/425/460lph TI or bosch 39/40mm pumps be plenty OR 2x this would work with an adaptor fitting https://www.prospeedracing.com.au/AEM-400LPH-Metric-Inline-High-Flow-Fuel-Pump-50-1009

Will only fit behind certain 17s so recommend 18 inch wheel with big brake clearance faces. Any brake setup will also require a BMC upgrade, possible new lines, may have ABS issues and a possible hand/park brake relocation. -
I've been buying my kits off Kmak aero, seem to be better than some of the origin stuff I've seen https://www.kmakaero.com.au/shop-kmak-aero-products/r33-skyline-aero/

robbo_rb180 replied to OO Dan OO's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
probably damaged ignition barrel. Check for continuity between the wires -
get some extra fuel line and a T piece, a 0-100 psi guage. Ziptie it to windscreen wiper or somewhere you can see whilst driving. For resistance leave one end on battery Negative post then check all cables to chassis and engine and engine block. You can even check the resistance of the fuel pump windings, I don't know what they are for a stock fuel pump.

Brand New Cars - what's worth doing early?
robbo_rb180 replied to Leroy Peterson's topic in General Automotive Discussion
I've done tint, seat covers, dash & floor mats on the 2 appliances I've had new and the 370z I had ceramic coated and PPF lower front & skirts. Ceramic is easy to do. Good wash, clay bar and apply. PPF is very expensive to do a whole car and only worth on something is expensive $160+k as around $12-16k to do.
