When i was getting car first registered, the inspector said i had to remove the gt brackets. My god that was a pain..

I have no idea how they put it on in Japan. Cause you have the skeleton frame of the bootlid, all nuts weren't visible so was a pain to fit/remove.

This is the wing im planning to put on (although ive been saying that for over 8months, it sits under my bed lol.

Yeah that's what I've got to do and I wanted to see how it was done on other cars before I gave it a shot.

Also my wing has 2 positions for mounting. Towards the middle and towards the outside. I'm probably gunna use the outer ones for strength. Does anyone have pics ofhow theirs looks too. Rekin?

You might want to check out ASM from a few issues ago, they had an article on installing the wing on their drift car and putting it on the floor rather than the boot lid to get the full effect of the down force. Probably not necessary in a street application but worth a read.

this was one of the best I've seen. It's a garage saurus customers car and I took this pic at fuji speedway. they had built a little support that goes in the boot and takes the force of the wing and distributes it onto the chassis. I'll try and find some pics of the inside.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
