Yeah, don't put the BOV on unless you are fitting the stock BOV back on, which you should already have.

your car will have stalling issues if you put a atmo bov on a stock rb25det, don't waste your money and time, just do what mad said and get a high flow panel filter & fmic and you will here the st

Not a bad start. I hope you're in one of the states that don't have any p plater restrictions otherwise you will have a tough time getting through your p plates.

WA plates - no restricitons... YET

mate nice 33 just please dont rap it around a pole or try and impress your friends on the street, they already have a bad enough rep.

also how did you find that for 5K ??? whats wrong with it?

ROFL +1

Congrats on the purchase though... looks pretty good for the price - anything wrong with it?

and as was said above, just leave the stock bov on there. don't rice ti up with an atmo bov. if you want to hear the stock bov more then put a higher flowing air filter on it.

So.. Head gasket??.... "old mate was real honest, it was perfect apart from the headgasket going, and that was only because of the plastic bag that got stuck in the radiator, and nothing else is damaged at all, he was real sad to see it go, he really wanted to fix it, because it is a cheap fix, but his wife just had 10 kids and he has to buy a people mover...."

There is no such thing as a cheap Skyline... Let's pray that with this one clearly having major issues it will not be fast enough to get wrapped around a pole...

nice buy mate, but the wheels, exhaust and wing i noticed in pics arent from factory.

i dont think ive ever seen any skyline go for $5,000, well nothing that has a motor or driveline attached.

you bought privately i assume? i'd get it taken to a mechanic asap to get everything checked out, just to be sure.

oh.. and heed the advice on these forums is my advice :)

I got my 32 for $5k

It ran, but it sure needed some TLC... still needs some now TBH.

congrats to OP on the score. Heed everyone's advice and have her checked out though. Last thing you need is a faulty bilge pump!!

Aha, had a good laugh reading through all the comments(;

The 'gasket' is referring to replacing/repairing the rocker roller cover, which is leaking a few drips of oil. Had a qualified mechanic mate come out with me to have a look at it, just using his terms.

The only other problem would be the rear suspension bushings, which id consider fairly worn. Before I get my license i'll get them replaced.

Also done 172xxxkms, hence reasoning for the price. Besides that mechanically A1 :P

Just picked up a K&N pod filter (from someone on here), which is going in tomorrow.

Theres also a large fmic (from a vl turbo kit) going on in a few weeks. Mate said it should suit fine, anyone with experience care to enlighten?

Dont worry, you wont see this wrapped around a pole on 7 News anytime soon(;

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
