Well i guess it had to happen sooner or later... yep the Stag stranded me. Saturday morning when my GF was driving us home from a mates place she said the clutch felt really long and it was hard to get into gear, im like whatever. hahaha turns out she was right, i was also having trouble the next day on the way to work, finally stopping at a set of lights it simply wouldn't go into 1. The clutch pedal was just squish... so i pushed it across 4 lanes of traffic. Called RACV they sent a towy, he came n tried but said it ws too low at the front, so i spent about half an hour unbolting the front lip while it rained on me, called another towy n he brought it too my mechanic. what a bastard of a day :)

Similar experience, while on my way home, felt the clutch wasn't right, then it wouldn't pop out. So I had to stop on the side of the road and call my old man, he came and pull the clutch pedal out. So I drove for another 10 mins and pedal became light as a feather and just won't do anything. Luckily I was about 5 mins from home, so I just parked on the side of the road and drove home with my old man. The next morning we came back and found that the clutch fluid were all gone, turned out to be a leak in the clutch line. So we had to top up the fluid and bleed the system on the side of the road, after about an hour of mucking around, I was finally able to limp it home.

Yeha haven't heard from the mechanic yet.... which is a bit of a worry.

yeah i painted the rims a few weeks ago, what a bastard of a job with so many spokes! i took a photos for DIY tute, will get that thread happening if anyone wants to see the process?

That is my car in its winter skin, the old rims, roof bars, and i have been trying to get ahold of some kickarse ralley looking mud flaps but can't seem to find any it supprises me that Nissan didn't make them as an optional extra considering the ad for the car was in the bloody snow! I am just using them as my winter rims so i can put chains on them for going to the snow i didn't want to scratch up my nice gutterrash free 18" GTR rims. And the standard silver colour is poo so sprayed them a specled metal grey.

That would have been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO embarrasing.

yeah wasn't exactly a funtime... but ive never been embarrised by my stag and hopefully never will be so i took it on the chin.

Turns out after speaking with my mech that it was acutally the pedal itself, a bolt had sheered in the pedal box some. A few bent bits of metal here and there, but with a new bolt some nocking straight its all patched up :)

      Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.

      I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too

      Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance

      Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.

      The fuel pump bracket just slides straight up.  Below is a pic I stole off a site. But basically put hand in for fuel pump, wiggle it all about a bit while pulling up.
