thats what happens when you dont know what ya doing :)

you have to GRADULY wind down the bearing caps conmcentrating on the loaded areas. (lobes opening valves)

it should take about 10 mins max to do each one properly

10min each sounds about right for torquing them down.

The nissan sequence if the cams are correctly positioned , does just that as you are saying. I think you are quite right as when you see it all before the cams go in it just makes sense to do it that way. If you have the right kind of training and experience in engine building you can work it out without knowing the nissan manual sequence as long as you know the torque target on the bolts .

I didn't break mine, and I'm pretty sure I never would with a good set of new bolts. Re-used old ones is where you are gambling. If they are known to break it means they are really past it after 100,000kms or so. I managed to break an old one I tried to re-use and I have heard of others breaking some time after being re-installed, lesson learnt no harm no foul.

      WTB: R34 S2 Front grill (this guy is asking mental prices)

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Looking for a S2 front grill for an R34 GT/GTT Doesn’t have to be in excellent condition as I’m looking to paint it. Would preferred if the clips were around.    The $500 this marketplace guy is asking sounds ridiculous in my opinion.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      By Bman1296 · Posted

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
