Clues dear watson, and google images.

Headlight? thats 34 for sure.

He said gtr front guards and lipped rears.

The photo angle shows the rear guards arent pumped like a GTR

Elementary. :happy:

Yeah damn.. should have done my research before commenting. Sorry boiz

Swapped out engine mounts today.

It was easier than i thought it would be, the nut i thought would be hard to get to, wasnt. I could fit a ratchet handle in there.

Most of the time was spent fiddling with fitting lifting hooks and messing around with the chain. It lifted just high enough before hitting stuff.

Dropping it down without stripping the thread off was a little tricky as the mounts dont line up till its down, because its mounted in a v.

One mount was starting to peel off the rubber, still fairly solid, but not for long.

Seat and mounts come next week.

Ps thanks for the lend of the crane :thumbsup:

Luke, is your thermo running from a temp switch kit?

Or off the original harness?

I cant get mine to work properly.

got it all sorted.

I was pulling positive straight from the battery.

had to grab it from wires that came on at ignition.

so, now all good.

dont fret.

the black peeling is only paint.

they paint the entire thing, then the paint peels from the rubber when flexed.

No i mean the old one. One plate was starting to peel/split off the rubber.

I noticed as the weight came down onto the new ones, the paint cracked and flaked on the rubber part.

Found that a standard power steering belt doesnt fit anymore due to my balancer :/tried a few different sizes yesterday, still no luck. back to autobarn today i guess :(

what balancer and car?

BNR32 ATI 1000hp.

You wouldn't know which one to help K_D out ?

thats why I asked.

someone sold me an ati for a 32.

ended up being a 33 pulley.

think the main difference is the ac.

will grab ps size in a minute.

still have to get out of bed.

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
