hks step 2 kit...

i was considering selling it and buying a nitto 3.2- but i just can't bring myself to put a forklift donk in my gtr! :no:

i'll put one in the stag though... :yes:

ok, so my plan is to get some 5mm longer allen head bolts, seal the plenum with grey max silicon as the rubber seal is to big, even after being in the freezer. I measured the runner length against std and the OEM manifold is about 5mm longer than the Greddy. I will get a thermal phenolic gasket which will make up the runner length and insulate at the same time. I just hope the plenum fits and the OEM studs are long enough.

Get a hold of a o-ring slice kit:

And make your own... Or use the one you have and cut a little section out of it then re-join it.

In the splice kit is a tool to cut o-ring material perfectly square. Then with two very clean very straight edges you can bond them with fine (good quality) super glue or o-ring glue... I make orings for harder/harsher/higher temp applications than this use all the time and I've had no problems so far.

If you get a phenolic gasket cut in any decent thickness- cut me one too pleeeeeease???

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
