R32 GTR inner Seat harness mounting point
Duncan replied to Beaker_666's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
also, I should add, a 4 point harness is way inferior to 5 or 6 point, because there is no "anti-submarining" strap. You really should go 5 or 6 point for every harness regardless of use. -
R32 GTR inner Seat harness mounting point
Duncan replied to Beaker_666's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
you can get either an eye bolt if there is a nut/thread in the chassis, or an eye but if it is a stud. Then clip the harness onto the eye fitting -
The other useful consideration is ports for oil temp and pressure ECU senders (or gauges if your ECU doesn't support it). I agree the standard location is a pain, and in a 4wd chassis you just end up with oil on the front sump to drip off for the next 10,000klm. Also in an R32 4wd, if you do still have HICAS installed it is even worse to get access to the stock location. I am not sure about 2wd chassis (probably the same), but in the 4wd ones mounting the filter upside down on the chassis rail in front of the diff is a great spot. Easy to get at when you are undoing the oil plug and no mess as it drains straight down. A "kit" will assume the cooler location and hoses will be cut to suit which can be a real pain if there is anything different about your car. Making braided lines to length (or having them made to length if you are not confident) is straightforward to DIY.

weird, I've changed many interior lights to LED with no issue except polarity Do the globes work if you apply 12v directly?
-
This might be embarrassing but LEDs are polarity sensitive....try them the other way around....

Anyone have experience with the red coils? (spark plugs)
Duncan replied to kevboost7's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Out of interest, why change to a different setup (brackets, plug change etc)? I only run moderate power (up to 400kw) but OEM/splitfires have been fine for me in a couple of cars -

Duncan replied to kevboost7's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Right, so unfortunately there was a time aftermarket coils became cheap and readily available, but many of them are junk, including the common yellow and red ones. Splitfires (purple) seem to be OEM quality, or go OEM (or OEM from another car, there are lots of kits these days_. 2 screws each in the 4 screw bracket. I think that was because the front and rear brackets are identical. -
ha! yeah for once something from this car would fit other stageas! (well except around the intercooler pipers but that bit was pretty simple. a long, long time ago in a workshop far, far away (ie, UAS) corflute was put in the front of the race car and it has lasted at least 10 years. It doesn't look super tough but afterall it is only trying to keep stray airflow on the straight and narrow so it seems to work OK.

Sending my car in for a 360kw setup next month, need advice.
Duncan replied to IM-32-FK's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Yeah Link has 2 CANs built in and keypad support -
Plumb the screamer back so it is quieter and legal, and the track doesn't get shut down due to angry neighbours win/win/win?

Easiest way out is probably to ditch the adapters and bolt the brembos straight in the stock location, then use factory R33/R34 GTR discs. They will be sufficient for anything except serious track use *edit* sorry let me clarify that. You need to know if you have R chassis brembos (what I assumed above) or Z chassis bremobs because they require different disc offsets. If your ones are Z chassis brembos your caliper adapter should just allow you to run standard size and offset z chassis discs. Bit hard to guess this on the internet. DBA.com.au have a very good catalogue which will allow you to measure and identify the discs you have.

Tips for removing crank bolt on auto RB25
Duncan replied to zoomzoom's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
lol you would need seriously long arms in car.... -
That is pretty hard to e-diagnose unfortunately. It might be worth removing the cam covers and timing cover to see if there are any fresh witness marks. Re the oil pressure it is very much worth having a gauge or logging. What ECU do you have? If it can read a sender you need a sender and suitable wiring to the ECU (usually 5v, sensor earth and ECU input). If not or you want a separate gauge, any aftermarket electronic oil pressure gauge would be suitable, it will come with a sender, wiring and gauge to mount somewhere. Any expensive new engine is worth having at least a proper gauge to monitor it. With regards to your rebuild, it is unusual to have a main bearing spin. Hopefully your engine builder carefully checked it for any issues and had some feedback about likely failure cause like low oil pressure, I am concerned you might have had a bent crank and hope it was straightened OK if so because otherwise it will recur

And the wires just connect to terminals 11 and 12 on the head unit so you can check if there is anything at those pins in your setup Should not be too hard to wire in if you are missing them, but it seems a bit strange. Does you car have AC?
-
Well that diagram answers the "what is it question" on p11 but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be on the car loom, as all of them would have a recirc/outside air option (even if AC was optional)

cops are welcome, chatbots not so much

What does the black box that it plugs into do, looks like some sort of actuator? There are english r33 wiring diagrams somewhere, because I've seen excerpts from them posted. If you can find them and a likely name for that box you are on your way.. This issue could be something optional that your donor air con unit has, but your car's loom did not

I have one but only use it to undo big stuff. You can't tell what torque it is putting on it, with 32x it would be easy to break or even worse over torque but not immediately break the bolt. I just put the biggest bar on it I can and push down with my weight (I don't have a 400 whatever torque wrench). Until now I have required a second voluntold to hold onto the longest breaker bar between a re-inserted bellhousing bolt and a flywheel tooth, next time I am trying this for that part:

I was reminded by another post to put this up. I bought one these, haven't used it yet but should assist one person balancer and flywheel bolt do and undoing https://boostdoc.com.au/products/crankshaft-lock-for-nissan-rb

Overheating issue and misfiring
Duncan replied to Kesh20's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
this is all pretty mild on the scale. I remember rogercordia and labomba. best suggestion I can make is that if you are taking advice from the internet, consider how much they know about your question (very little, just what you typed and they guess) and the body of knowledge the poster can apply to it. Then, since cars are wonderfully logical things (except for that thing about the ufo/speedo), decide if what you are hearing makes some sense. -
The first 2 are right (gravity!). Not sure about the water lines but I don't think it matters which water water flows through the core

Awesome thread, thanks for posting this up
