I've heard bad things about the "high strength" silicone hoses.

depends if theyre a reputable brand or not..

ive had my gates racing rad hoses on for 3 years without any hassles.

Yeah thats what I was looking for were Gates. Meh, I'll change them when I swap out the radiator.

yeah thats when I did mine. CBC can get u gates kits for $99 or so... Joeleo87 who is/was a member here works there and took care of me

I also replaced all my heater core/coolant hoses with JJR silicon hoses when the head was off earlier in the year - am running a nismo 1.3kpa cap and an n1 pump so I want them to be able to deal with the extra pressure. so far they have not let me down, I have no leaks whatsoever

Will get some black ones eventually tho. I don't like the blue hoses in my engine bay.

assuming thats flywheel torque, thats still pretty decent (550-600nm at the wheels?). nice power

My water pump was just replaced as part of a major service just before i made my purchase, not sure if it is N1 (pretty sure it isn't) but the switch to the 1.3 cap is what blew my heater hose. After two trips to sinergy they've now replaced everything they possibly could, bar the radiator hoses which are up to the job at present, albeit a no brainer to replace myself if need be. Graham spent a great deal of time to source the exact material the car needed to ensure it was back on the road as soon as possible, given that sourcing a few cruddy hoses from Japan would take weeks due the the tsunami. Power FC shows my water temp stabilised at no more than 70 degrees everywhere I drive. Top work from the boys at Sinergy I say! Now I just have to wait and see what self destructs next :whistling:

I hate to be the grammar Nazi, but ffs Heslo you're is the shortening of "you are" .... despite you referring to the ownership of a possession (which would normally involve an apostrophe), "your" is appropriate here. :D Have you grown a pair and decided you are coming to Kadina next weekend? Nice cruise, booze, talking shit, good food and a good ol' country car show - what more can you ask for?

lol.

to excuse heslos grammar, his message is right. if u own a 32 gtr engine ur running a grenade. thankfully i dont run so fast to blow my grenade. but eh, a full forged rebuild should be on any rb26's owners TO DO list if he/she/it has any damn sense. of course we cant all afford to do it asap, but at least start planning for a longnose crank/collar and an oilpump and forged pistons at the very least

70C sounds very much on the cold side of things. I hope it's been tuned for that, or could be causing all sorts of dramas...

nope. it reported me having 680nm torque @ 250kw on 16psi last time i was there. i was told i should realistically expect 400 odd which was confirmed on another dyno as being 420nm at the rears

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 5 spd AWD boxes are all like-for like. They might not all be identical (covering >10 yrs of production means that many parts were updated as they went) but they are the same thing. You're not going to be swapping to auto.

      Oh, oops, yeah, I'm getting the cams in the 2.5 replaced, so the above factory 2.0 cam specs don't mean 5hit, but, after alot of googling it seems the factory 2.5 cams don't like to rev So, yeah, there is that 🤣

      Update - new drop of oil noticed. Leak seems to be continuing, but a slow/small one.

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! So I am the owner of a shiny new '99 ENR34 25GT-Four, 5spd manual. Took it to the tire shop to get new shoes. They mismatched the front and rear axles (225/40s on rear, 225/45s on front), so AWD system went bonkers for the next day. Took it back in, they fixed it, but I noticed about 8-9 big drops of red fluid in my parking spot. Leaking has stopped, but it's clear that the transfer case may have been stressed/hurt by this debacle. I'm taking it in for inspection tomorrow. If things are FUBAR, I have a few questions. - ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases seem impossible to source. Can a GTR transfer case fit? Or if not the whole thing, just seals or components? GTR is 6spd, mine's 5spd, so I'm thinking no, but lmk. - Finding a few RB25DE NEO AWD auto transmissions for sale, for decently cheap. If my only option is to swap to auto, what else will I need besides an auto-specific gauge cluster, and associated wiring? - I imagine the R32/33 GTS4 transmissions/transfer cases are a no-go? They're not NEO engines, so unsure. - RB25DET/4WD setup from the Stagea, any parts that transfer over? I did search up for this on SAU and google, very little info covered.   This is my first post, so apologies for breaking any rules, please let me know, and thanks for the help.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I agree, looking at those plugs in conjunction with good compression/leak down tests I'm not too certain its ring related anymore.  I have a Swagelok ball valve on the drain and tubed it lower down to the left side of car to easily dump it into a container. I do not drain back into the sump. I've never had to drain it though as there's never been any oil in it.
