Car stalling while driving with new turbo
hardsteppa replied to miskyline94's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Either something not connected/air leak or something not plugged in/electrical. -

He says bottom of strut nuts, not top. -

Doesnt look done to me. You seem to be missing a car....benches don't need much brake, generally speaking -
R33 strut bolt torque specs
hardsteppa replied to jSbr0's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Bottom strut mount on r33's is a pressed in stud not a bolt so is definitely not single use only. Yes use blue loctite when doing back up. They are around 65-70 lbs torque i believe, but there are exact numbers online somewhere, a full list for r34 which will be the same for r33. -
RB25DET heater delete - loop or block pipes
hardsteppa replied to GeeDog's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Coolant flowing thru heater core will not make any restrictions relevant to temp/flow across test of engine. Looping is better, blocking creates a dead-spot that collects sludge, contributes to rust& corrosion. -

Don't imagine. Do research, and know. It's crucial when making a claim. -

Yes. Where did u get 4 grand from as an asking price and what advantages do you see in these over the evo brembo kits, and what master cylinder have you found a skyline to require during your testing of this prototype kit. -
well i'm a fair man...a very well hung and fair man...so credit where it's due, did take it back to another supercheap and after they saw the amount of leaking, had no trouble giving a refund on the spot so good on them. Matter now closed.

hardsteppa replied to Ants's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
$25,000. Comes with free tomei engine. -
Yep stopped into a place yesterday and dude was very helpful, will be following up further for a refund. Century battrry is sitting in a plastic container now in a puddle of battery acid, definitely not just a bit of weeping.

Century battery leaking so i bought a new Century battery back in July, and noticed on the weekend that it's leaked, making some nice corrosion into the passenger rear seatal area and boot. Cleaned it up, and more leaking evident today. Stopped back to Supercheap today, and they ask, has it been dropped? No...it's safely secured in stock mounting area (boot, in R33). Is it overcharging? No, according to my apexi and defi digital gauges it's exactly in the prime charging range. Has it been overfilled? no buddy, apart from a small topup yesterday after I noticed it leaked, it's as I bought it. They say, well that's the only reason it would ever leak. I say, you're forgetting about manufacturing fault. They're now saying, can't do anything unless I give them back the battery and they send it back to Century for further testing (who, call me sceptical, will likely claim there's nothing wrong with it) meaning if i want to drive in the meantime, will have to buy another battery (NOT a Century). I ran a Supercharge battery without any issue until it suddenly died about 6 weeks after the 3 year warranty expired, on exactly the same setup and my alternator is a fairly new Bosch, so wouldn't think there's anything wrong with my setup. Anything else to cover or check, before I call my legal dept about launching a claim for refund of purchase and damage to my car?

Wheel fitment question
hardsteppa replied to Ed.williams5's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
well...it didn't have the greatest battle history but still...it was an engineering marvel, the pride of Japan, instantly recognizable by its' stylish lines..much like the R33. -
Wheel fitment question
hardsteppa replied to Ed.williams5's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
allright, the Village People! i mean...ha fkn ha. More like the mighty Yamato built for battle...street battle that is. I think you get where I'm going with it...it's a weapon, a destroyer, etc. -

WHATS THIS WEIRD NOISE FROM MY ENGINE !?
hardsteppa replied to Jonic's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Mine sounds like a quieter version of that, and is an exhaust manifold leak. It makes a chirping sound, mostly goes away once warmed up. -
on the outside like that, I would have thought no. But I replace most rubber hose on the car anyway, cos, it's old now. Now I have a request of you can you post up, or pm, some more pics of that chassis bracing.

They havent tuned properly for the p/s idle up solenoid, i would ssy.

hardsteppa replied to ZigenGT's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
yeh, go another size. Why are you only using 205's on a skytwizzline anyway? -

hardsteppa replied to ZigenGT's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
that is the most biased review ever. Paid-to-plug I think. read recent posts, I didn't rate the RE003's. Go the invo's instead.
