I'm assuming s/c kit is HKS? If so and it includes ECU (FCon) then no-one in Perth can tune it currently as far as I'm aware. Something to keep in mind anyway...

its possible to retrofit to r134a, dont need to use that sp34e, thats just a con job to make u buy it

normally hard to pick up leaks unless gas and dye has been put in system and then leaked out again, the uv dye showing the leak. tho the leak should have been picked up if he says he tested it, normally the system is pressurized with nitrogen or lpg etc, and the leak can be heard. it is very common for the aluminium lines to leak, they are quite thin and can crack and bend easy, especially if they rub against something usually if u cannot find a replacement line, the leak (usually a small pinhole) is welded up, this will fix it.

i would check handbrake cable they often become stuck on hr31s, my car went through 2 in 2 years same symptoms as yours

looks to be a completely new rear housing?? the shape of it is fairly different to standard it seems

as for belt noise, check the tension on all belts oil pressure sender wire plugged in? if it was earthing on the block this would cause the light to be always on

sunday times readers mart and the quokka for sure

Just a link for the WA ppl take a peek http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...816#post1170816

Put this up see if i get any bites... 1986 HR31 GTS Coupe Late model projector headlights, early model uncovered tail lights White R32 RB20DET, 5spd with short shifter, R34 GT-t turbocharger with HKS actuator, 3" mandrel exhaust, apexi avc-r, apexi safc, impul 16" rims with near new tyres, koni/king spring custom coilovers (over 2.5k worth), front & rear strut braces heaps of stuff i forgot comes with heaps of spare parts including r32 brakes, or can leave them out for reduced price tag. Overall very good condition for age with a bit over 120k kms 12k ono pm or sms 0439927744 Located in Perth, Western Australia

just a follow up about the phillips range of globes like revhead and crooser say, the vision plus/blue vision, emit a white light, even tho the lens is slightly blue. they are probly equiv to a hella cool blue, altho slightly clearer. i have crystal vision in mine (4300k colour temp def not a yellow/white light as gtshortie mentions, they are very white) and they work a treat, i think a good compromise between white and blue, altho not strictly legal. also as gtshortie mentions, many ppl are disappointed with the diamond visions @ 5000k temp, they are blue enough to limit brightness and will attract some unwanted police attention. as an auto electrician i replace the odd globe and recommend phillips, even the standard phillips, altho if u buying crystal or diamonds try and do some haggling, there is a substantial difference between retail and trade prices.

yeah i went wilkinsons, pretty happy have to say, tho it wasnt cheap recommend them

pretty sure these are the same as r32 manual, available from your friendly nissan dealer. might be cheaper to buy an aftermarket urathene item tho.

thats some pretty useful info SK i was always skeptical of warlbro, hard to convince ppl to pay more for a bosch tho it seems cheers

rb25 box is longer then rb20 bigger in every dimension especially weight

looks good, stands out nicely

predator, the "turbo r31" as in hr31 import uses a thinner radiator then australian r31s the usual upgrade is to switch to an australian radiator if more is needed then a custom alloy radiator will do the trick

this is normal supposed to stop the low beam cutoff ( the angle of light that lights up the kerb area) interfering with high beam as is my understanding

rattle gun would be the easiest method otherwise split the alternator and put the rotor in a vice and undo it, they usually arent too tight, i rarely need to use a bar when undoing them.

relays arent really used for circuit protection, thats the job of a fuse i cant see a higher amperage relay causing a problem

sure is gts and gts-x coupes were both available non-turbo

never disconnect battery whilst car is running it will cause the alternator to be unregulated and damage to many components can result the radio will have a sperate fuse yes

try an auto electrician or an auto electrical wholesaler

hey dude, i have an r32 motor in mine but for some reason i believe it still had r31 water lines?? the oil lines were exactly the same, only the water lines needed changing, and i used r32 ones

i just completed this swap last weekend, using a r34 gt-t turbo (nylon impeller, same as r33 s2 i think) it came with the compressor outlet elbow so it was no biggy findings are more power on less boost (2-3psi less) altho it is slightly laggier then i imagined, however this could be a tuning issue top end is much better tho
