Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

The speedo cable is way to long.. I unclipped the speedo cable up front and have it looping down slightly.

Hard to explain, get under the car have a look where the speedo cable comes out from the firewall and see the brackets that its attached to. Remove the attachment so it loops more so then it will be the correct length.

suck it up, you've just done a whole comversion so be patient with it. Not everything goes perfect first time. Your few little issues have been very minor. I bet it's the thrust bearing that i told you to replace hehe.

It'll all work out in the end.

Good to hear about the cops!!

Did you replace the spigot or more importantly make sure the motor had a spigot?

Mate of mine did similar.. Assumed there was a spigot. Ended up stuffing the input shaft bearing. :S

haha cubes its funny you say that, ive run into that problem a couple of times in the past etc and now i check religiously...yea the motor had a spigot and it was healthy. It it most likely the thrust bearing that i recommended to change but never got done. These things happen.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.

      This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.

      Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
