    Oxy acetylene torch and a respirator.

    You're looking for power and earth at the wiper motor. if you find those, then the motor's f**ked. if you don't then the wiring's not continuous. Rinse and repeat until you work out what is not working. And what is a "surge" and a "cut off" in the context of what we're talking about?
  3. GTSBoy
    Have you considered the bore size of the GTS's master versus the GTST's master? With respect to the caliper piston area difference, that is?

    Multimeter.

    Any RB fits into any S chassis engine bay. 26 has been done thousands of times (literally).

    The (actual) TPS is on the (actual) throttle and is what tells the ECU how far open you are pushing the throttle. The throttle motor position sensor is used by the ECU and ABS/TCS computer to monitor the action of the traction control butterfly (as feedback). Neither of these are likely to be causing your problem. IACV is, however. Clean it.

    Wat? You buy Nistune brand new either direct from Nistune or from a local dealer. All you need to do is find an R32 or Z32 ECU.

    The top car is running >2° camber at the rear, which is not so good for straight line traction, but great for corners. The middle car is running f**kING HEAPS (TM) of camber at the rear, which is almost certainly to achieve the fitment of seriously wide rubber, at the complete expense of common sense and straight line traction. The bottom car looks pretty normal. For a street car you want approx -1° to -1.5° on the rear and approx -1.5° to -2° on the front. Any more starts to eat into tyre life unless you only drive it fast at night through the hills. If you want to know how much camber you have, measure it yourself (straight edge, bubble level, ruler, calculator, basic trig), or get a wheel alignment and a report.

    Yup. Along with a variety of other things that have very small clearances that can chatter if they're too big.

    RB25 wastegate pressure is 5 psi. Only gets to 7 by the action of the stock bleeder solenoid. Should be all open way before 10 psi. I suspect that there is something sticky/bent/broken.

    What grade of oil are you using? If there is scope to go a little heavier it might be worth a try. The noise might be a gudgeon or something similar talking that might quieten with thicker oil.
  12. GTSBoy
    Hmm. Yes. Valid point. Even my R34 one is a moulded plastic thing that would be destructive to try to get into.
  13. GTSBoy
    Could very easily be the VCT. On/off makes no difference to it being broken enough to make a noise! If it truly is a harmonic sort of thing, then the biggest culprit would be timing belt/tensioner. Some aftermarket cam belts slap around like crazy. Or the tensioner could be unhappy. Would not suggest cam lobe scoring as likely to cause anything at all, let alone a noise that comes and goes at a certain rpm.

    Yup, suggesting mods for an RB20 R33 is literally the worst advice possible. It makes less power than a Corolla (of the same vintage!)

    Even with the stock wiring the 460 will probably still support more fuel than the R35 injectors can flow....But I'd definitely be rewiring it because the stock wiring is not designed to cope with that much power draw. More pressure via adjustable reg won't buy you any extra capacity. Pressure costs more than flow does in terms of pump current draw. And higher pressure means lower flow on these pumps also. What power is it making now, and what duty cycle are the injectors at?
  16. GTSBoy
    I'd be looking for voltage drops/bad connections around the pump wiring. Also looking for crap in the bottom of the tank blocking the sock.
  17. GTSBoy
    Um. What? Remove wires, remove hoses, remove fasteners holding rail down to runners, lift upwards. Which bit is giving you trouble?
  18. GTSBoy
    460 is a big pump. R35 injectors will support over 550 engine HP. Keep turning the boost up until it stops making power.

    Open the TPS and spray some contact cleaner into its gubbins.

    The fastest way to answer this question (for yourself) is to go out to the car, open the boot, fish around in the taillight assembly and pull out a globe. Presto. There's the answer, right in your hand.

    There's a crowd in the UK that sells them on eBay. Cheap and good. I bought a set a few years ago. Much better than the old cracked pleather.

    There are 3 Nissan gearbox crossmembers used on the various Skylines and S chassis cars, used for autos and manuals. They are stamped A, B and C. I can't remember which is which, and in the long run, my specific history is probably not helpful, as I first took the RB20's auto out and put in an RB20 manual box, which used a different crossmember to the original. Then I swapped in an RB25 manual which used either the same one I originally had, or the third of them. Regardless, look at the stamp on yours, go down to the wreckers and get one of each of the others, and you will have what you need.
  23. GTSBoy
    The slowest Skyline available does not need a loud exhaust. Follow above advice. Do not spend ANY money on making it faster, unless & until you can do a complete rebody of a wrecked turbo car into your (presumably) clean and unthrashed shell.
  24. GTSBoy
    Dead/dying coil(s). Dirty AFM. Dying fuel pump. These are the usual suspects.

    I've recently been using Fantastalloy(TM) after my supplier of unobtanium went out of business.
