cant anyone help

The link that the other member has given you is to a Russian perons HOW TO DO IT and its execellent info - its really not that hard a job - I USED THE INFO and have installed Splitfires in an NA R34 - however I found that the HOW TO info is PARTIALLY INCOMPLETE in some parts - but luckily only in relation to the various vacum lines /connectors that you need to disconnect to remove the inlet manifold etc.in the area of the rear of the motor esp the r.h.s (presuming you are facing the motor at its front).

Start off using his info and when you near the end of undoing things and almost ready to remove the manifold etc you will see that there are some extra rubber vacuuum lines/connectors around the far rear RHS of motor that he has not mentioned - use common-sense and just undo them as needed leaving the hardware in place where possible - nearly all hoses/vacuum lines etc are a different diameter or have a differet clamp type so you should be able to avoid mixing them up on re-installation.

What I did and suggest is you mark everything you disconnent with tape or take a digital pic and/or record on paper each step and thing you do and later retrace. Its not a hard job and first time mat take about an hour to undo and same to replace.

Try not to damage any hoses etc as I don't know if yoiu can easily get replacement ones - and many hose and vacuum line clips are the pressure type and you may want to substitute screw type ones instead.

Also his MOTOR HAD NO STRUT BRACE in place when he did his coils but I found you can remove the manifold etc leaving the strut brace in place - seems untrue but try it by swinging the parts around carefully you can do it . In fact my strut brace bolts were so tight I could not undo some so had to leave it in place.

Also drain the hoses with collant in them well so you dont get water into the spark plug area and try not to lose any bolts clips etc in engine bay as its nearly impossible to find and retrieve anything, and the head is alloy so do not overtighten and strip threads when pulling or replacing plugs - DO PLUGS AT SAME TIME AS NEW CILS UNLESS THEY ARE NEAR NEW - you do not want to repeat the work.

Finally, you will have sore back muscles for several days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But will still feel good. I REPEAT ITS NOT A HARD JOB AND YOU DO NOT NEED SPECIAL TOOLS.

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

      Incidentally, I also put v3 of the tune on the car and did an oil change from 5w20 to 5w40 to see how it affected oil pressure in the mid to high end. I'm still happier with the thicker oil and will stick with it, but clearly the system is happy with 55psi even if I'm not!

      So the other thing I got sorted over the weekend was Z1 oil catch can install. https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-q50-q60-30t-baffled-oil-catch-can-kit-p-23546.html It was a good kit, most importantly it came with preformed silicone hoses in the right shapes rather than trying to bend/join regular straight rubber hose. It did come with crappy spring clamps not proper hose clamps so I ditched them On the down side, it is made for LHD cars and RHD cars have the main ECU harness running straight through that location, I ended up bending 2 mounting brackets so the loom is up against the brake master cylinder compartment wall to make room for it....otherwise everything fit without modification Intercoolers off on both sides, but there was enough room to get everything done without disconnecting (and therefore having to re-bleed) the coolant lines. Each is mounted with 4x 12mm headed bolts, plus in and out side hose clamps (7mm headed, nice) and 3 electrical connectors on the navigator's side which were a real pain to undo (probably for the first time in 13 years).   Also one of the mounting bolts on the driver's side was cross threaded, thanks Infiniti/Nissan workshop mechanics. On the navigator's side, the catch can plumbs into the factory hose that goes from the cam cover PCV back to the intake.  This is the 2 new hoses in place. All simples and direct fit On driver's side, there is a bracket provided that mounts to the throttle body, they even provide slightly longer bolts to allow for the bracket thickness which is nice (although, they don't have captive washers like the factory bolts of course) In that pic the main loom brackets are not in place, once I had "adjusted" them across it now sits up against the panel and just clears the OCC The remaining problem with this is emptying it; currently you have to remove the 3x m4 bolts that hold it to the bracket and both banjos to remove it (probably dropping the banjo washers at the same time) pull it apart to empty then replace. I do have some fittings coming for a remote drain from underneath that will also add a little capacity...it is very small and will need to be emptied every oil change to be sure.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Noise sounds to me could be either wheel bearing related (have had similar from bearings going) or that tail shaft is still loose. Or something like a heat shield touching the tail shaft.

      You wouldn't get away with saying the opposite, if you were there.
