Spotted Ex!$t3nZ's (sorry mate, don't actually know your name) Toyota sitting peacefully at Trojan this arvo. Still looking sweet as!

i know :'( been there for 3.5 weeks now. well if its at trojan hopefully that means that the auto electrician has finished his job..

Anywho, spotted a silver r34 gtt behind me turning down lathlain street then into the bunnings carpark around 9am this morning. i gave a thumbs up through the rear window but i dont know if you saw. i was in the green camry (not chaser ;)) infront of you..

I spose I should add in here that I spotted one of the sexiest R34 GTRs that I have ever seen in Civic bout 7ish last night. Until now I'd only seen photos and WOW!!!

I don't even know what colour to say it was, sorta purple, sorta green... Lotsa layers in there!!

I didn't talk to John for long but he mentioned that the auto elec'y ran out of space for the day or something so it was moved back temporarily, so i don't think it would be completely finished..

I'll hopefully be back this arvo to grab the car after what should be its last and final tune since losing my middle muffler to rust and re-installin my airbox.

Hey Guys. Saw a Maroon R32 behind me most of the way through nicholls about 5:30pm today. Just for those of you who dont know, while my skyline is off the road am getting around in an dark blue 1989 Mazda MX6 Turbo with a ridiculous wing and a set of shitty vault wheels and a massive intercooler out the front. Hope to be back in the 33 by march. Until then if you see me getting around wave to me, dont show me up like most skylines have been trying to do :spank: not members of course.

Interested to know what figure you end up at Sam, will be more or less the same setup as me.

Ben, mate, not sure what has happened and its got John baffled... My car lost 40kw's which was due to the collapsed exhaust, replaced the cat back section and also installed a JJR return flow cooler and the std air box. Since, John retuned it with an extra 3 degrees (had to remove 3 degrees to stop detonation due to the collapsed middle muffler), which meant it should have been back up to 260kw.... Unfortunately, it is still 227kw at 1.3bar...

John did a compression test and all came back fine, all averaging about 155-160. He has a theory since everything else has pretty much been explored and that is possibly my valve springs have become weak and now the valves are floating a bit. He said that the best way to find out if its still on power is to line up against you.

Sam - he's talking 230ish then I doubt it's still 'on power' :whoops: Sounds expensive.

Spotted John (a20089) yesterday. Gave/got. You were finally spotted mate! :) Flukey timing, I was messing around with my stereo out where it wouldn't bother anyone and saw you pulling out of the golf course (I think)

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
