I go to knox on a weekly basis with my g/f... we cruise around the carpark and pump-the-doofs (to annoy the locals)... plus I have an aftermarket exhaust = loud (cop-bait)!

I've never had any problems at knox... but there was once when cops pulled up behind me after i found a park and we just walked into the shops and replied 'no' when they asked if it was my car (they did see me get out on it).

They are just tight! they can go and eat-a-d!ck... they piss me off... wait 'til I get my GTR... compelte with 3ltr kit and NOS... not even the air-wing will beable to stop me! *grins from ear-to-ear* *devilish laugh*

I might be wrong... but as far an nissan engines go... the power output for the auto's is always 5kw less than that of manuals.

if the manuals are 187 kw... the auto's are 182 kw, but I've also found some sites that say the power of the RB25DET is 185... makingth auto 180 kw!

phorj,

the power loss from the auto is through the drivetrain and not from the fly.

thus the crank power is unaffected and all R33's are 187kw, but its just that manuals make more at the wheels.

where the auto helps is that is is about 20-30 kgs heavier.

BUT... R33s are still illegal on your P's (unless its non-turbo) its simple just do the math.

where as, R32s ARE legal (just) even in turbo form (this excludes GTRs of course)

Karina, with that stance on only car in the family, I live by myself, does that count as a family?

I'm also thinking of slapping a sticker on my car for my web design bizness and start claiming it on tax... maybe when the GTR comes along I'll can say its for business use (advertising etc) and still be on my P's.

Cop station is just across the road so they have to go about 100m to bust people *that* is why and cops are lazy ****s..

Hmmm, think its time to go down there when i get my car back and do some burnouts in the mall there with my non-P plates skyline ;)

anyway, its unladen factory weight so your weighbridge weight won't help you out..but this has been covered stacks of times

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
