Til they're tight and then a little bit more... Don't Cross Thread them and Don't Over Tighten ! They can break.

Can give you a hand if you need it. :thumbsup:

Can vouch for my local mechanic. He knows what he's doing.

Until it comes to heat shields ! :P

Thanks for the offers of help, I'm going to give it a shot on Saturday solo, just stay tuned for desperate cry's for help, although by then its probably too late :P

What side of town are you at?

Handy Hints:

Tape over or stuff a CLEAN rag in the pipes you just pulled off to get to the head.

If your coil harness is as old as mine, be careful the plugs can be brittle and break.

I find it easier to undo the bits the coils are bolted to, and take it all off in one go. Two bits actually.

With those gone you can get to any nuts or bolts you drop down there, and you can clean spilled oil and stuff easy.

Plugs are pre gapped, this is the easy way to get it right. get the right plugs.

Before removing the plugs, give it a good blow with compressed air and get any bits of crap out.

Those bits of crap can fall into the cylinder or foul the thread for the sparkplug.

The correct way to tighten the plug is explained clearly on the box.

Dont overtighen the coil brakets, its into alloy, so its soft, blue locktight is good.

Dont forget to remove the rags from your pipes (ive done that before haha)

easy peasy japanesy

Rosie in today at Craig Hall in Phillip. Getting suspesion down - legal height and wheel alignment :)

Update: dodgy seller didn't have a "bush" (?) in the front coil overs so that's not getting done today. Break pads instead. Does that mean I need to purchase new front coil overs? He was saying it would be hard to find a bush for the front coil over? :S

do you know the brand of coilover? find out exactly what bush was missing, inline may be able to help you out if you can't source one from a local parts store. - repco can sometimes be handy for things like that.

G4's - one of the front bushes are missing.

assuming you are talking about one of the bushes in the G4 coilover (must be noisy as hell!), you should be able to get what you need from a retailer (just jap) as they can be fully rebuilt.

Yep G4 coilovers - one of the bushes in the front coilovers is missing (Uninstalled). Just Jap sells bushes for G4's? :D brbrbrbrb

Hmm Just Jap doesn't seem to have G4 coilovers / bushes / whatever I was meant to be looking for.

Its funny I've got the same issue with my Tiens, for some reason the front rubber ring that sits at the top of the spring is gone, make it noisy as hell

Nah - they have a very specefic range with suspesion it seems on their website. I'm going to assume they don't stock G4s.

Welcome to my boat - it's a sucky ride.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By Radical_Goodspeed · Posted

      So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
