Porsche 959 - It only took Nissan 20 years to catch up.

Best Performance Engine '08

Porsche 3.6-litre turbo (911 Turbo, 911 GT2)

Hey 200, not related to the topic, but interested in your little blurb about Porsche's at the bottom of your posts. Now I am new to this forum so I suppose you've spoken about this before. I'm actually a bit of a Porsche afficianado (have many copies of British publications, GT-Purely Porsche and 911 & Porsche World in my study), but I was wondering in what context is Nissan 20 years behind the 959? Don't get me wrong i love the 959 (although the running costs I've read are simply staggering- provided you can find someone willing to lay their spanners on it), but I assume that this this is in the context of a 4wd twin-turbo sports car? or have I missed something?

I thought the 959 made production in 1985 and R32 GT-R made an appearance in 1989, that if I'm not mistaken is only four years not 20. Another really interesting bit of trivia, when Jeremy Clarkson drove the first R32 Skyline GT-R he made direct reference to the 959, something about "making the 959 look like it came out for the design studio of Freddy Flinstone". I was taken aback a little bit and I know JC embelishes a bit but there must be some truth to it. At the end of the day you could probably BUY an R32 GT-R for the cost of a major service on a 959, is it really that much better than the Nissan?.

      Squeaky bushes

      By silviaz · Posted

      To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.

      OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.

      R34 RB25 Neo sounds like a diesel

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.

      I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
