yeah same. i drove a v8 BA falcon ute (the base model 220kw version). the pull from 1500rpm was spectacular. pulled as hard from 1500rpm to 3000rpm as hard as my 200kw r33 did from 4500rpm upwards. only downside was that without realising it you would be doing 15kmh over the limit with the slightest throttle variation. was good not having to change gears driving around town when you got to a hill though (was a manual). just kept it in 4th most of the time.

a few years back i had a 180sx (with turbo sr20) and the missus had a SSS pulsar (natro SSS). the 180 was great in the higher rev range, but out of our street (a slow corner up a bit of a hill) the missus would be a set of tail lights disappearing into the distance unless i dropped back to 1st gear and went through the corner at about 3500rpm. if i stayed in second then by the time i started to catch up she was already slowing down for the next corner (this wasn't really racing either, well not from her. she was just driving spiritedly, i was doing my best to try and keep up, LOL. she never even broke the speed limit).

There are very few people out there who waste money on purchasing and getting an aftermarket ECU tuned for a naturally aspirated Skyline.

I didn't mean that he should go buy aftermarket engine management, more suggesting a baseline timing adjustment via the CAS. Will be free providing he has a timing light and should get a nice little gain providing he is using 98 octane.

It's why I love my falcon...

Peak torque starting at roughly 2500RPM from memory...

I spend most of my time driving around town though below 2000RPM... If I feel like going some where quickly I rev it to 3000RPM... If I feel like having some fun I let it swing to redline... LOL

      R34 power steering

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
