injector sound?my first skyline , so im new too these motors, sorry if this is a dumbass question,  Bought this  R33 rb25det today, it was a fair price and the guy has spent alot of money on parts ( pistons, injectors , new turbo , rods, acl bearing , seals, basically alot of stuff upgraded )  he says the sound is just the injectors because they are bigger then normal ? but what do you guys think?? He did say the car had been sitting in the shed for a couple of month, as he wasnt able too drive manual anymore because of his legs ( was a old man )  ...  so it does 100% need a tune, but the car boost HARD and it drives nice other then the rough idle when i come too a stop ( im guessing it needs the tune or the BOV is messing with it ? ) .... so i dont know if this sound is even anything i should be worried about?  please let me know what you guys thinkk, thanks fellas

are you sure man?? maybe if u put head phones on you will hear the constant face toned ticking . rattling, sounds like its from that big silver manifold? chamber ? .. do all rb25 motors do that if they have bigger injectors put in?
i mean he says too me that its the injectors and nothing wrong with the car besides needing a tune for sitting in the shed for a while.. so ye..thanks anyway for ur help dude

ok thanks fellas i guess ill stop stressing over it then. and ben it seems too idle pretty rough when coming too a step, or giving it a squirt, almost like its choking? but doesn't completely stall, just bit low on idle. would tune not fix this? since it been off the road for a while maybe its not firing right? i dunno i just brain storming ideas.. or do u think it could be because there is a bov on it, ive read that could f**k with the idle at low rpm.. cheers

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.
