Hi all,

Im expecting my frount mount kit this week in the post (hopefully tommorrow)... Its a HDI kit for a R33 that includes piping ect.... It will be going into a 1997 Stagea RSFour, which have a Sidemount stock cooler.

Just wondering how hard the install is going to be? I have performed a timing belt change on the car and that wasnt hard at all but thats about it. Im I bike mechanic so Im pretty mechanically minded.

I could wait untill the weekend and do it with a mate that has done one on a pulsar Gtir but as you would all know I'd like to get it in ASAP :thumbsup:

What do you all think? Any advice/tips/how to's?

thanks in advance,

chris

Have a look at DIY thread there maybe some tips.

Work out how your going to take off the front bar first.

Talk to someone that has done it to your car exactly. Because first time attempt takes the longest. Second round is always the easiest.

Follow the manual if you got one.

Hope your piping fits up good and easy (if Chinese could be a little trouble)

If any pipe is wrong size you can get it made up at a exhaust shop just make up an example one out of pvc

Don’t know what else to say except think positive and say to yourself it’s no rocket science "you can do it".

Once your done don't forget to take soem pics and write up a DIY so the next person can attempt it.

Good luck.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By RBjay34 · Posted

      Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I would say 100% that it doesn't matter at all. I have an Al bonnet and I drop it sometimes, push it others. Have done so for 25 years and there's no way to tell that either has caused any problems (because there are no problems).

      yeah, a black 4 door HR, stock AT RB20DE. Was a pretty good daily summer car, it was kept in a garage during winter but previous owner was fighting rust so most of the car was covered with rust undercoating, the trunk, floorpan, it started to rust underneath so I thought it would be better to find other chassis that was taken care better and do rust preventions myself, at least I would know where keep my attention at. Plans are simple, enjoy the car as much as I can, mostly on summer of course, winter here is long and not kind to 90s JDM, I wanna keep it mostly stock like, I'm not a huge fan of GT-R look or any body kits so gonna keep it as metal as possible haha, something more balanced look wise and yeah, work on performance, I was thinking about RB25DET but 20DET actually feels fun, as long as it's reliable I think I might keep it.
