Hey guys, I've been away from the scene for a while and have recently got my self a C34 S2 Stagea RWD. It's coming up to it's 100k service so I would just like to know which sponsors are the cheapest/best for the following bits, I assume they do package deals?

  • Timing Belt & Water Pump Kit (Genuine Nissan Cam Seals, Genuine Nissan belt
  • Genuine Nissan R34 water pump
  • Genuine Nissan Timing Belt Stud Kit
  • Genuine Nissan Cam Cover Gasket Set
  • Genuine Nissan Ancillary Drive Belt Set
  • 1 tube of gasket maker stuff

I already have oil and oil filter, is there anything else I should be getting?

At the same time I'll also be doing a manual conversion from a R33 GTSt, I bought an Exedy clutch about 10 years ago that's never seen the road so I'll be using that, but the thrust bearing seemed to be noisy when it was fitted to my old car years ago. Can any of the older members (not long after SAU started), recall there being an issue with the Exedy clutches back then? I seem to recall it was a common issue and the fix was to get a standard OEM Nissan one. The part number of the clutch plate is NSD098U,

Edit The clutch it's self is silver and I thought that all Exedy clutches were pink?? The only part number stamped onto it is 2M05 which I can't find anywhere, so thought it might be an OEM one, will this clutch plate suit a standard OEM clutch? Confirmed mine was the non HD version which has the silver pressure plate.

Cheers,

Gareth.

Thanks for the heads up GH05T, I found an old post saying Kudos does kits, but couldn't find them in the classifieds, any chance you could send me a link?

Ben, I'll be doing the RMS as I have a slight leak, forgot to mention that in my post, but didn't know about the crank seal.

Cheers!

Edit, found Kudos! Ignore that :)

    • Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and today I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany
    • Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.
    • I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.
    • Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
