qld Nismo MFD
hardsteppa replied to dan the man's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
Damn straight...well spotted Iron Mike. OP when you get a sale you action it quickly for them. ...unless yr a sht knt . You posted him 'something' 6 MONTHS after he transferred $$ to you? -
Everything needed for topmount turbo setup?
hardsteppa replied to Angus69's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Also you can still use stock intake manifold, just remake the intake pipe. Tight fit but does fit. -
GTX turbos have a restrictor built in i'm pretty sure, so as Ben says, sounds like insufficient oil flow. Water lines can go on either side but the highest side should be the exit, obviously.

Rb25det engine to transmission brace/brackes
hardsteppa replied to kowalatea's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Rb25 det auto and manual ones are the same. -
yep they go for way more than $100...advertised anywhere else? just got into the sim racing myself, seems worth more than $100.

RB25DET shortblock for sale, as the new forged motor is in the final stages of being lubed and inserted into the waiting cavity of my engine bay. Make no mistake, this is not your average RB25 shortblock that's been thrashed to death with cracked ringlands and no oil changes for 7 years. No son, this engine was hand built by myself just on 12 months (9000 k's ) back with - full strip down and clean of all parts, OEM pistons cleaned and checked, new ARP rod bolts fitted, cylinders honed and new OEM Nissan piston rings fitted, new OEM rod and mains bearings fitted, new OEM Nissan mains bolts fitted. I ain't gonna bullshit you and say, I only ever ran stock boost # LIAR!!, of course not, it ran 17 psi with a very healthy maintenance schedule of Castrol edge 10w-40, and not enough ignition timing in the tune for my liking, zero markings on pistons, compression is 157-162 across all cylinders, it runs freakin fantastic. I had been tossing off whether to keep it as a spare but my garage is crowded enough as it is. This is a bare shortblock so you will need your own everything else, but I can include, stock Nissan oil pump, used (but reusable) ARP head studs, IRIWAY 7 spark plugs, rear main seal/retainer. Pickup in Brisbane at $600; can post interstate but the current covid ' ting means some delays there...and postage at yo' cost of course.

the thing is, a full metal intake matching to stock connections, is in my experience, a PITA. Hence the benefit of using a 2-piece metal intake, to give you very flexibilitiness in being able to get it easily in and out, and adjust to make sure it's a perfect fit, even when changing to aftermarket airboxes or turbochargers. It's what i have used time and time again with various setups. I think I have one of the first parts, that has the BOV and PCV fittings on it, in stainless, somewhere in the garage. How much are you offering?

Big brake kits for R33 gts25t
hardsteppa replied to Blakeo's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Another vote for the ATTKD kit from justjap, mine has been flawless. Don't buy the K-sport kit, thry are a bunch of useless lying flogs that wouldn't know the right kit if it fell off their shelf and hit them in their stupid head.. Ok vented now. -
Nice, 4in fitting is a good effort. My 3.5 homemade system barely has enough clearance Clarence in a few places.
-
That company has been around a while and as far as i know theyre not shit...but i pieced together oem nissan stuff for a little less than their kit. Although was a bit of dicking around to do. As above though, you will likely find things like worn couplers/gear teeth once the box is apart. Going whole box brand new would be good idea if you have the extra $$
-
nah just plain ol rb25 .. wasn't going to cut it open but yeah ok I might do that, don't think I'll end up needing it anyway.
-
Have a brand new one sitting in my garage, but it won't show much unless i cut it open. Air will only flow thru it one way; direction of flow to the head.
-
for anyone's future reference - the OEM oil restrictors on an RB25 are absolutely a 1-way valve. Floating-ball type, not spring loaded. Just under 1.5mm diameter.
-
Yep, unlikely to be a unicorn, that cheap. I use Iriway 7's, straight out of the box with r35 coils, last for years and never had an issue.

Steering rack R33 Gtst
hardsteppa replied to E.Winjum's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Dont know you will get an answer as most people use the same rack as their car model is....i assume. I would suggest check amamaya.com for example, see if they have the same or interchangeable part number. случайные русские слова -
KYB replacement struts for R33 GTST
hardsteppa replied to Train's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Yep, i should have paid the extra for bilsteins. -
Don't ever use cheap spacers (or any spacers possibly?)
hardsteppa replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
i'm not sure I understand the issue either; I used GK tech hubcentric issues with longer studs for many years with no issues, although agreed, never use uncentred " slipon" type/truly cheap sh^t. I had the " techs" at one Bob Jane outlet refuse to fit new tyres to my car because " I had spacers, and they're baaad, mmkay?" I asked him if he realised they were hubcentric, and he truly had no idea what that meant. -
KYB replacement struts for R33 GTST
hardsteppa replied to Train's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
and OP, don't. They're shit. even when I wanted a stock ride many years ago, I was like...wow I just wasted my money. Buy a set of BC's at least, for similar $$. -
how are manuals worth more than autos?
hardsteppa replied to Grayz's topic in General Automotive Discussion
prove to you, lol the cry of the new generation. "I'm the centre of the universe and you must prove your point of view worthy to ME." ok sure - supply and demand. Troll level 1000% btw, good reaction on here already. -
r34 R34 GT Sedan HKS coilovers.
hardsteppa replied to TrisGT's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Lol. -
and shortblock now assembled and complete. If it blows up within a month of being fitted I will be sure to let y'all know otherwise will just be one of the 100's of thousands that have used these rods and been happy with them so you never hear from them. I ran into an old cars associate the other week and told him about using these rods in the build; he rolled his eyes and said 'really??" ...so asked him, have you ever seen a set in person..." well, no"....ever known anyone who's actually used them, and had an issue? " well not me personally" ….ok well, great chatting, I'll take my own experience and my engine machinist's input over yours, thanks very much. So bottom line is, the money I saved on these over spool or scat, eagle branded rods went to other parts of the build, and I'm happy with that choice. Oh and I will soon have a rebuilt rb25det bottom end for sale too lol, 12 months old, OEM bearings/rings, ARP rod bolts.. HMU if interested . Now for selecting a new 650-700hp turbo....

just putting it oot there...you can also just buy an AN4 stainless end and cut to a suitable length, get rid of the excess. Tao just prob does it that way to avoid emails of ' the line supplied is too short!" so makes it plenty long.
