just watchin that vid that matty posted again, and noticed the AFM on the strut tower, not even

connected to the intake... how does that work? me want?

it doesnt. had something to do with the regulations specifying that it had to be connected. didnt say it had to be connected and in use though.

Anyone know of a black R34gtr getting around ?

i used to spot one regularly in town during the day craig, led tail lights and big(ger than stock) rims, and if i remember correctly it had personalised plates

havent seen it for a while though, say around 3 months

ahhh ok, i thought it was so you could run a solid pipe to pod without havin AFM in between....

but upon actually thinking about it, it wouldnt work..

Well i had some what of a sucessful day. got the Cressy i bough a few month ago running (just an ignition issue in the end) but then found that the headgasket is stuffed (which i suspected anyway). So if anyone wants an 1993 MX83 Cressy with 178,000km's on the clock with a blown headgasket you can have it for $1300. Or i'll do the gasket myself and put $3000 on it.

Also started pulling parts off the CA to clean them up;

EDIT!!

As for the R32 GTR Vs' R33 GTS-t Brakes they both have the same diameter but the GTR rotors are thicker (32mm V's the GTS-t's 30mm)

Edited by D_Stirls

argh, ive fiddled too much and now the GTR doesnt run smoothly...

ive posted a thread in forced induction, but still:

ive:

removed all the recirculation piping, and blocked off the inlet pipe holes

moved the boost solenoid to a better place

cleaned the AFMs

and put the stock breather hoses and PCV back on, no longer venting gases to atmosphere.

drove fine (with better power steering mind you!) for about 1km, with small amounts of boost,

but now it barely runs, and is stuttering all the time... any ideas what ive done?

where do i start :blink:

Hmm, have you asked if that was okay to use on the AFM's?

I know when I cleaned out AFMs working at sinergy we used Brakecleaner which is a thin liquid that smells really really strongly you can almost taste it and it drys with no moisture left behind.

It has to be the way you plumbed up all the piping etc

i use the stuff at work all day long to clean electronic components

and if it was the pipingm, why would the car run fine for the first half of the trip?

Could have done something and made it over fuel, and now your spark plugs are fvcked hence why it took some time.

Maybe take out your spark plugs and have a look man otherwise I got nfi lol.

Bed time, will check this tomorrow though good luck :).

does anyone know if altering the length of the inlet piping after the AFM will alter the way the car runs? or should the tune pick this up and self-correct??

I know someone who has a R34 Vspec 2 in black ???,, she lives in north adelaide area, dark hair , has a built forged motor in it.

actually she looks a lot like that chick damo...lol, only a model not athlete..lol

asking for a little help

posted in borrow section too..

me 'na mate are rebuilding a suzuki f5a 543cc 3cyl hatch atm, engine is out on ground

cant get the flywheel off, etc.

need to borrow a flywheel stopper holder lock tool

anyone?

a screw driver run thru one of the balance holes is usually enough, if not try a steel scrap through the starter hole ..

if you can get one bolt off, use a steel flat bar and make one,, drill a hole in the end , pop the bolt back into it and use a bellhousing bolt for the other end.. works a treat. WD40 helps too..lol

some take a light heat from a heat gun or plumbers torch to get loose.. but dont overheat the rear main seal or it will melt.

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
