When I got it it was a stock motor and ecu, JIC coilovers with tein springs(the tein bit wore off though), it had a ultra cool flashing inerior light (LOL), s15 rims, vertex front bar, no rear wing, low as all fark, an aftermarket no name clutch(this died in the end and a Aust clutch is in there now, ummmmm... It had a Jap stereo but only the CD player worked here, and even that died eventually.

Thats about the gist of it really haha, It has a very smooth driveline, I serviced it like literally every 3-4000kms(only with gtx 2 though haha) but the body was very rough, so I dare say it had seen sideways action before. J-Spec imports brought it here but I wasnt impressed so we wont talk about that anymore haha...

cool

the interior light flashes really slow now so i think thats dieing

abs just shat itself so sometimes when you go to brake you have to pump the pedal to get some pressure going

and there are some strange noises but it will be getting a full service very soon

reid (guy i bought it off) gave me some no name 5 puck clutch with not much meat on it so i guess that is only good for a paper weight

and a few nuts and bolts missing here and there

its going all right but a few things to fix up - yay for old cars

who molested the parcel shelf to get some 6x9's in?

:S none of that has anything to do with me :thumbsup: Although the ABS always had a very slight leak, Id just convert to NON abs if I was you. Though the clutch sounds like the one Ross and I put in it. It had all its nuts (pun intended lol) when I had it haha.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?

      Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.

      I'm not sure where you are, but United Terrey Hills has E85.
