Hey guys

just a quick question

I bought a skyline r34 gt-t and am trying to get a road worthy certificate for it and it needs to have a washer bottle to squirt fluid on the windscreen.

The standard washer bottle has been removed in order to fit a front mount intercooler. What do people think i should do, is it possible to use a smaller washer bottle off another model car and adapt the skyline pumps from my car to pressurise it? or should i try and replace the washer bottle and pumps off another car and try and rewire them to work in my car?

any advice is appreciated just wondering if someone has alraedy been there and done that?

Thanks

The greddy fmic on r33 comes with a smaller washer water bottle with a stand and space for both small factory pumps to fit in.

I have the greddy washer bottle sitting my garage as I replaced it with an arc combo oil catch washer water stainless thing.

so I'm willing to sell it if it helps you, they supply it so the fmic piping fits right

you getting it from your local auto parts store hanaldo & where are you gonna mount it?

Yeh man, got it from Auto1. You could get them for cheaper if you bought online, I just didn't want to wait for it to be delivered. I'll be mounting it in the stock position, under the battery tray in the left hand wheel well. It just doesn't have a filler neck, the cap sits under the stock hole so I can open up the cap and fill it up but it doesn't impede my space in the engine bay. Very neat. Looks sorta like this to give you an idea:

Pictures will be up in my build thread possibly this weekend if I can be bothered getting some bolts for the brackets to mount it :P I was going to just ditch the washer bottle completely but I'm in the habit of doing things properly, especially when it isn't hard.

hahah thanks man, I tried to fit in the stock bottle rotated 90 degrees as some people have done, but its pretty long and fouls a few bits so I couldn't be farked trying to do it, will get a Supercheap bottle when I can, as for bolts and brackets, why not use zip ties if you can! Dodgy as a Dodge Silverado!

Lol trust me, you get sick of the knocks and rattles that come as a result of doing dodgy things like that. Do it once and do it right or don't do it at all. I'm going to make damn sure that mine is rock solid, the stock one used to rattle against the front bar and it drove me insane. Never again.

I was planning to run the stock washer bottle as i think it will fit back under the guard... If it does ill get a smaller battery and rotate it 90 degrees so everything remains sort of factory....

If that plan goes to shit, like most plans with the 34 have so far i will likely get a smaller version of what Hanaldo had made :thumbsup:

JJ were selling one but i think it was GTR only?

^^ same issue here , washer bottle nowhere to be found when I bought mine fmic must have taken all the room but i havent popped the front bumper off yet.

Pics would be awesome ,

I bought a R33 washer to see if i could pop that in the top next to the battery but its wayy too big.

I picked up a supercheap universal bottle which seems to fit but downside is theres only one motor in it

some pics of fixes and solutions would be great... i hate driving with dirty windscreens....

on that note , i had a blonde moment where i couldnt take the muck on the windscreen any longer and i had a bottle of water next to me .

i proceeded to try and pour some water on the windscreen (while driving) and the wind ended up blowing it all back into my face.

i sat back thinking....wow that was dumb....

Yes, I should mention that my rear washer doesn't work. It hasn't worked since I put the new engine in, as I used a washer bottle with only one pump. Not sure about over east, but in WA it's only a requirement that the front windscreen washers work, so I'm not fussed about the back one. Back one never seems to get dirty anyway :P

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
