get the sherrifs to break the guys arm? theyre usually pretty obliging :D

-D

id rather sort em out at the counter than having to get the sherrifs to put them in a kung fu grip and boot em out the door.... just makes them angrier for nextr time.

must say its pretty entertaining seeing a massive biker getting taken down, and start screaming like an 8 year old girl with a grazed knee at the hands of a small asian sherrif though

How's this.

Brother was driving his n14 pulsar last night. Went through a deep puddle of water and got into his airbox into the engine and blew the motor. One piston is sitting higher then the others and there's a bent conrod. Took the plugs out and u rock the engine and can see water in cylinder 3.

Insurance covers it tho. Damm sr20's

Hydrolock, it happens. Luckily his insurance covers him, always wondered about that

That sounds a bit weird to me. The airbox has a hole on the side for intake, and the box is pretty deep - so it should easily be able to drain out or at worst sit at the bottom. The N14 airbox works opposite to skyline one too - with air coming in the bottom and into the engine through the filter at the top, so I would have thought it would be pretty hard to get hydrolock?

Never had any issues in my N14 - it used to run a pod, gone back to the panel. I drove it through a semi-flood in Melbourne a few years ago when was a foot of water going across the highway - handled it perfectly (was using a pod filter back then).

how do i find the correct KNURL diamater for extended nissan wheel studs, M12x1.25 to suit C34 Stagea ?

I bought 20 "Ichiba-brand" 50mm long studs, came with 13.75 knurl - wont fit

Now ordered 20 more with 12.75 knurl, got to wait another 3 weeks till they arrive to see if they fit.

getting to be too expensive to keep "guessing" the size.

Ive measured a used one today from the rear and it seems to be around 12.5mm knurl diameter....... Im hoping its similar to the ones Ive reordered just now 'cause they are 13yrs old & used?

confused :P

thanks

Ive paid for this second set already, $100 del.

if these dont work will definately try J.I.S. - cheers

oh, I torque them on with a nut rather than bash them on.

got to grab a nut to undo the wheel hub bolt on rear LHS - cant insert new studs due to the parkbrake setup. nut must be 34 or 36mm !!

now I need to see what nissans use 13.75mm knurl - possibly GTR/navara/patrol/"insert Nissan model here"

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough

      Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'

      That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.

      I think both. Higher ratio and more stout. I think at least part of his lift increase came from the rocker.

      At 30cm long, you only need 80lbs... Which isn't hard to put that much weight in. Just start to stand on it, but not full force. Even a light weight size 6 lady can do it. If I stood on, I'd get them to about 190ft-lb... And all Id need to do is... Stand...
