takes 5minutes... - remove rims - pull out wire clips from caliper - remove 1 pin - remove backing plate (prevents it flicking out) - remove 2nd pin - remove pads and shim plates - undo 17mm (i think) nuts around the back. - banjo bolts for brake line (make sure to have an empty bottle nearby to put the bolt in.

no - just a regas. however i do have to go see him within the next few weeks so he can check if its leaking - said that if its leaking he'll change over the entire canister with fittings for free, if not just leave it.

i did most of the upgrade myself. only things i had done by someone else were the rotor machining and rotor re-drill couresty of na_r33, as well has getting a hose mob to do up my braided lines. if you are fairly spanner savvy its pretty much a bolt in bolt out kinda job. will take you a weekend if you know what you're doing and make sure to get what you need all at once - unless you have a spare car to go around and pick up bits. let me know if you need anything http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=82456&hl= pictures arent working however http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=61703 gordon (predator) has also done them on his non-type m r32 gtst, dont know what the go with pictures is... i think the forum gets rid of them after a while. NA_R33 has also done a brake upgrade, although he did a 5 stud conversion as well.

as long as everyone in the first post is in, then we will get them at the cheaper price. i might give them a call sometime this week to give it a little kick in the bum. i will enquire for you and if available, i will see if they will allow to include it with prices.

i had mine done 2 weeks ago (trying to avoid the summer rush) cost me $150, however i opted for a coloured dye (cost that little extra) which is handy for future to find a leak. on my drive home barefoot, my clutch foot went numb! like seriously cold - put a digital thermometer in the footwell and it was 9ºC!!!!

i believe they are the same across r32, r33, regardless of turbo or not... there are a variety, nismo, blitz, apexi, k&n, pipercross, ryco?

270cc is correct, and the rb25det injectors are 370cc for future reference

hey Sean, as far as i know there isn't an exhaust temperature sensor in the headers. on rb26s they are located on the plenum i think, and the only other temp sensor i know of is for the radiator. i think you might be mistaken for the o2 sensor? if so then that goes into where the exhaust branches of cylinder 5 & 6 join. (see picture, its a little round hole on the right). in regards to melting things, i doubt you will melt anything really, the turbo skylines see far more heat in their engine bay without any problems. - as far as i'm aware they do not make a heatshield for these headers (i will ask), however it wouldnt take much to fabricate a plate, or possibly modify the original one. alternatively you can go for exhaust wrap like you suggested, a few guys have recommended this. i have asked if they will do hpc coating, and have asked into details about getting them painted/chromed - if you dont like the colour, some brake caliper (high temp) spray cans will set you back like $10-20 from repco. please see the link in my signature when you are ready. we are waiting on final details with partsco.com and are pretty much ready to go. any questions just ask eug

swaybars eliminate bodyroll. probably one of the best suspension mods you can do for a car that likes corners

we now have four buyers and are pretty much good to go - i'll let it run for another 2 weeks or so (14th november) in accordance with group buy forum rules. i've asked about chroming and/or painting, and i've requested if they can do hpc coating - still waiting on a reply sometime this week. let every rb20/25de owner know about this group buy, these are damn good prices.

the chip thing sounds rubbish, regardless there's not much use for australian fuel - unless you can find someone to tune it. and in regards to your test drive, yes its quite true - the na skylines aren't crap. it's mainly all the turbo boys playing them down - stock for stock, there's about ~30-40rwkw difference. its just when they start adding more and more boost is where their power comes in. and thats where the difference between the two types is, cost to power ratio. boost is practically free in regards to gaining power, however then you have to take into account fuel economy, longevity and maintenance (and hence supporting mods like an intercooler, oil cooler, regular oil changes, etc). with a turbo motor you can simply hide the "faults" so to speak by adding more boost, where as the methods for extracting power from an na comes down to every last kilowatt - and you are essentially making a more breathable, rev happy, and most importantly REFINED motor. (similar theory also applies to turbos, better dump pipe, better manifold, etc) that is my opinion in a nut shell, obviously if you want to get into technicals you can.

i took my rods out to install my front swaybars, i think you can may be able to jiggle it about, but without having the car up on a hoist (assuming your using a trolley jack) - its a bit of a mission to get some clearance.

yip no difference between DET and DE... actually i'm not sure if theres a diff between 20 and 25... dont quote me on that last one though...

make sure you run some good brake fluid (something like motul RBF600), and if you havent already, cut those little vents in your inner guard to ensure your brakes get sufficient cooling.

it is a bit of a pain in the butt to find some decent pads for non turbo skylines. i believe you can get a set of bendix for em, try repco. although like n1gtr said, they are very dusty, abit noisy and dont last long, they are however good pads and will be up to the task once they get some heat into them. another option is, if your serious about getting onto the track may be gtst caliper/rotor upgrade. i've heard good things about ferodo pads, but i've heard even better stuff about hawk pads - those will be my next ones.

dammit... well same effect regardless... nismo sticker is false advertising

no, i think this is just to make it look pretty. what you'll need for temp would be HPC coating, or get some of that exhaust wrap. p.s - the link in your signature doesnt work try this one instead http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=140134

yes i would assume so, physically the manifold bolts are no different across the RB20/25 family. DAN666 had an non turbo R34, and he has made mention previously that they were interchangable. however dont quote me on that. PM him to confrim.

Interested: Eug (Eugene) Ignuz (Nick) NA Power (Deano) Traditimeour (Jeremy) macca_r33 (Michael) Unsure: FLYR33 (??) looks like we've got good numbers to go ahead. I have just received another email from partsco.com with this photo I have requested. The director has also asked me if any are required to be painted or chromed, I have replied asking what additional costs are required for these. i have started a thread in the group buy section - please be definite whether or not you are willing to purchase these, as it will ruin it for everyone. See thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=140134

it is a flat rate of $70 for everyone - this is set by the director of parstco.com. all i am organising is the discounted price on products only if we are able to order bulk amounts of these extractors - there will be no discount on shipment as these go straight from NZ to your door to save on costs. unfortunately i cant arrange any special prices due to your age/work status - details are all in the 1st post.

i would say so. however best you check with someone more knowledgeable with ceffies and r32 rb20de (i would guess "cubes" would be your best bet to PM) ignuz: already got you down macca_r33: cool mate make sure to mention this buy to anyone you know running an rb20de or rb25de - as there most likely wont be a next time. 1-3 buyers AUD$220 + gasket (AUD$15) + freight (AUD$70) = approx. AUD$305* 4+ buyers AUD$180 + gasket (AUD$15) + freight (AUD$70) = approx. AUD$265* * this is the predicted amount, it should not vary by much - and is dependent on exchange rates.

i've been given the ok by pva_glue to post this here to gauge the interest in who may be intrrested in a set of coby d12 extractors. i've enquired with partsco in nz (www.partsco.com) a pretty sweet deal for: 1989-98 Nissan Skyline R32, R33 - RB20, RB25 DOHC. 1 1/2" Primary 1 3/4" Secondary 2" Outlet these are the same extractors as found in a previous group buy run by gatty. reference: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...actor*&st=0 here's a quoted figure i recieved from the director: APPROXIMATE FINAL COSTS 1-3 buyers AUD$220 + gasket (AUD$15) + freight (AUD$70) = approx. AUD$305* 4+ buyers AUD$180 + gasket (AUD$15) + freight (AUD$70) = approx. AUD$265* * this is the predicted amount, it should not vary by much - and is dependent on exchange rates. I've converted those to AUD, so although the AUD is reasonably strongish - it could still fluctuate. Delivery to your door is $70 (based on 10kg/header) approx 10-15 days by international economy from New Zealand.
