iLL BE PURCHASING AQUIET A FEW BITS AND BOBS FROM AN AUSSIE DISTRIBUTOR AND IF YOU LIKE, I CAN GIVE YOU A BIT OF A REVIEW ON THIER PRODUCT, SUPPORT AND QUALITY. I HAVE A PRETTY EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF AUTOMOTIVE THINGS, BUT NOT AS EXTENSIVE AS SOME ;) IF YOU LIKE NISMOID, PM ME AND WE CAN DISCUSS IT FURTHER.

Thought after last nights meeting and mentioned to Luke, both of us are interested. Between us, he is a qualified mechanic with access to workshop/hoist and I should be able to do the admin stuff and put a decent review together from his dot points. :)

Ok I'll have some spare time the next week so I will be creating a new section of the forum.

Anyone that has expressed interest thus far will be given access to this section (it will be private).

Then we can start discussions with the aim to launch sometime in Q1 2012 :)

Oh, and you guys will all get a cute like "Review Team" bar under your names :thumbsup:

Ash,

I'm keen.

Happy to do some reviews.

Unfortunately I can only comment on 'upgrades' to an M35 Stagea and a Datsun 1600 which I am about to upgrade a few engine components.

I can comment on generic oil/intercooers/seat belts/ Race seats/ engine air-fuel meters etc. and generic components which can be used on either etc.

Let me know if you want some engineering input.

I can comment on reviews and if the component/modification may affect whether the car requires an engineering cert (to remain legal in Victoria. Other states I have NFI!)

I can also comment if the review requires more testing/ statistical data, or more appropriate information to justify certain claims.

I bought some off the shelf chassis stiffening to play and test with during this summer break. I also have some other simple "modifications" to do which aren't so much products but really things to do with your car.

I am a Experimental Physics student so understand high quality quantifiable data - my R33 GTS-T is my experiment. I was planning measure quantifiable data when doing all my modifications over the summer anyway and I would very much enjoy being able share that knowledge with the public.

Will you enable LaTeX support in this section of the forum? :thumbsup:

:cheers:

The entirely new Review Section (it's a new forum) is live for those who've shot some interest in area's of this etc.

I'll let you boys work out where it is... If you can't work it out then I am deeply worried haha :nyaanyaa:

Of course - could always do with more people. If you want in, let us know :thumbsup:

    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
    • Hi. Which coilpacks can i use in my engine? I looked at the Splitfire but the closest "match" i found was SP-DIS-008 but even that they do not show RB20DE NEO so iam not 100% sure. Or maybe different one which will 100% work? I saw many on ebay but they are some cheap "strange" ones. What about Yellow Jackets? Many thanks 🙂
