potenza 10/10 coilovers for 33/34 GTR, $950. get on it!

Never heard of potenza shocks, any good? Was looking at super streets or greddy somethings which are closer to $3k :D

hi guys, sorry for the lack of updates. i have been overseas on holidays recently and only now getting back on top of things/email.

as you all know the trackday course is three weeks away. you should have all paid the balance / full amount by now, so i will post up the list of paid drivers (as confirmed with John Bowe Driving) in the next few days. you've only got a couple of weeks to do servicing, check all fluids, tires and pads, so please get on to this asap. you don't want to be doing that sort of stuff the night or morning before the event! hopefully no one has any problems at this point.

  • 2 weeks later...

ok, here is the list of people who are all paid up for the trackday (from John Bowe Driving):

1. moodles2

LukeENR34

TypeVU

Heslo

scandyflick

joshDC

Hostile

Nightcrawler

Krishy

you should all have received a confirmation email and invoice/receipt from Dean at John Bowe Driving by now.

i just need to hear back from Red Back (sorry, i don't know his real name) and Chalon as to whether they have paid the balance and received their receipt from Dean at John Bowe Driving. if anyone knows how to get hold of them quickly to confirm, please let me know!

cheers

I dropped off my car at Manta on Monday with a LONG list of things to get fixed before this event. I dread the bill I am going to receive but I need my 4WD, ABS, PFC, intercooler, brake ducts and engine working properly plus a stack of other things. The rest can wait until after the big day. Hopefully the GTR will be ready and I won't have to take the Pug.

all sorted. chalon has emailed me and will sort out his stuff today.

Krishy - i have asked Dean to re-email you the receipt.

looking good guys - i will send out / post some pre trackday tips and meeting point suggestions next week to help with finalisation of your preparations.

cheers - Kim

i would like to go but my car is still getting work done to it so no go for me. :D

really good opportunity to gain better driving skills and to learn how your car will react.

anyway have fun guy's it will be a blast.

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
