Just thought I would bump this 20 year old thread because the Skid Factory have just posted up a video summarising a lot of the content, format might be more familiar for newer members

Anyone care to tell me how to get my standard dash tacho working? Im running Autronic SM4, do I just interface the tacho wire from the Autronic to the wire from port 7 on the standard ecu? Surely I cant be the only one to encounter this when not using standard ecu. Cheers!

ACTUALLY I STUFFED UP.

Sorry, I've been hammered on morphine for the last 2 weeks. It has to go OUT 1-2mm to ease the tension a little.

Correcting other post now.

Sounds like your back is still giving you trouble; sorry to hear mate :teehee:

Best to move back to Melb, it's nice and sunny down hear ;)

PS: I also agree with Geoff on the tensioner location. For the new block, we have moved the bolt hole another 2mm across, away from center.

Thanks for backing that up al cheers.

Now ive rung nissan to get a VRS kit for the Rb26 head but nissan want to know if it is before or after the 3/93 with the latter option being cheaper. I havent heard too much talk on here about needing one or the other so im guessing both are the same?

thanks fellas

Just out of curiosity what would be involved in fitting an RB25/30 to a 180sx???

A rough price estimate would be great too if possible...

Thanks.

Front face plenum, lower the mounts as discussed in this "small" thread, move the power steering lines if needed, put a small love bump in the factory bonnet or get a aftermarket one.

Price.. depends how far you go..

I started mine at the start of this thread and I am only just now doing the final touches now. :D

Question about the PowerGrip belt and the Harmonic...

when i fit the belt it sat wonky like the pic below

img1576nd0.jpg

but with more tension it sits in fine.

Gates state that they supply 2 types of belt, a standard one and the one above which is their "performance" belt.

Not sure if its a case of this belt requires more tension than standard.

Has anyone fitted the 1200 8MGT (says gates on the belt not dayco) and run the car with no issue?

There's previous posts about it but no result.

Thanks

If you look at the 30 head you would notice that the way the valves are arranged they sit on one side for the first three and the other side for the last three. In the end its just cheaper for Nissan to make the one set of pistons with the cutouts there rather than two separate designs.

looking at my rebuild kit today something struck me, why did nissan make the pistons to suit a 4 valve head? By that i mean the piston has the cut outs for 4 valves.

Was nissan keeping an ace up their sleeve :thumbsup:

what pistons are they and price if you dont mind

I've had no problems with my standard tacho, using an aftermarket ecu (wolf 3D). Are you sure something else isn't farked up? Have you tried your cluster or ecu on another car?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
