hey guys, was just under my hood and was wondering what system the metal cap that is in the middle infront of the engine block and fan is from im assuming the radiator?, on the stock engines it has an orange sticker on it which seams to just be a warning not to open it while its hot, however looking at mine it says blitz, so im wondering if anyone knows what blitz bit if any this means is in the engine bay somewhere? Its not a BOV or FMIC. Maybe a previous owner just thought it looked cool? haha

I'm guessing it's just one of these?

Doesn't seem like it'd be anything special or indicatore any special mods to the rest of the car? It's just a radiator cap... I have a nismo radiator cap on mine ...

that pics not my engine bay as i said, and no i was just double checking what i thought, I only just bought the car so i dont know 100% whats been done to it in the past, sorry for asking a question ive never worked on an engine in my life and dont have anyone to teach me, didnt need the sarcasm

you best get used to the sarcasm on this forum, most of us are quiet sarcastic :)

it's all in good spirit though, so don't take it personally.

you may have actually got better feedback if you had posted up a few shots from different angles of your actual engine bay instead of something else from the net. the guys might spot something none standard and be able to give you a better idea what has been modded on your ride.

Recon that Chris did a image search in google I've seen that pick before,it's from a R34 GTT,the black box is a Greddy ebc solenoid( proffec A i guess) , the pod is a Blitz one and the way the ground stabilicing wiring is done is a bit wierd(usually the the connection bridge is bolted to the battery terminal).

Did'nt realized before about the siren screaming at the turbo . :banana:

put the hood down and walk away!!!!!!!

Sorry jetwreck, didnt realise everyone was ment to know everything about cars without ever asking a question, didnt realise these forums were a place to bash people over knowing less then you do about something, I was under the impression they were for asking questions and learning from your peers? oh well guess I will take my questions elsewhere in future.

Hey,Chris post a pick (or a couple)of your actual engine bay,that way anybody can say if they see something aftermarket and your doubts will be solved.

Yup. Post up your ride. There are no dumb questions....anywhere.....ever! But there are many an unhelpful answer. Keep that in mind Chris, the forum is here to help fellow believers. :devil: There are owners from all over the auto spectrum on here, some have "the knowledge", some don't. None have all the answers, this is how the forum works in a positive way, by sharing that collective knowledge.

I bet you every one of us has learnt something of value from this information source, else we would'nt be here in the first place.

End of the day nobody knows everything & heaps of other silent members on here learn from the questions & answers that are posted, without ever having to ask the question (& draw attention to) themselves.

My 2c

Cheers GW

    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.
