best wedding present :merli:

nic has confirmed a31/c33 is slightly different ( mainly dude to the 88' build date where as 89 was the r32 ) so he should confirm banjo bolts and lines which really cant be that different if they are.

try ebay for repro rods or get the drift works etc non hi-cas set up bars and braces if the repro's are just as pricy

Edited by Dan_J

haha yeah we all thought so to.

they are actually work euroline type 2 or somethin 17 x8 and 17 x9

they are his fav wheels and has wanted em for ages. i saw them come up for sale so snapped em up at a good price.

and fitted them with toyo r1rs on the front and some sumitomos on the back.

haha.

ah ok.. ill have to go steal the water and oil lines off my mates spare block then haha.

ill sus ebay for the rods.

not real keen on the drift works kit.

is it really worth it?

they are both black so will need to be retrimmed.

what do people think?

And recaro it shall be. put a deposit on the evo ones today. gonna pic em up next weekish when i have a car that's able to fit them in the back to take home Haha.

Turns out the missus audi tt isnt quite big enough Haha

sooooo..

fitted my recaro to the drivers side yesturday.

it was a total pain in the ass....

and its shit.

the rails to tall so it actually sits about as high as the standard seat.

unless anyone else has some lower rails they wonna sell to me asap.

ill be cuttin these genuine recaro rails up on the weekend and making them lower.

basically the inner slider needs to be moved into the middle of the seat with brackets goin from there to the legs and upwards to the seat.

stupid idea. but ohwell.

yeah, its pretty gay.

ive found a set of rails. but just sucks that i bought rails now i have to buy more.

mate of mines a welder and has offered to modify mine. or if i can find some random generic rails he will just make them outta them. so that might be the way i think

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
