Hey All,

I have checked the forum but just get a heap of for sale posts. I know the pros and cons of raising the boot rear but I had a few other questions. 

- should I use a spring washer and if so, where exactly in relation to the hood and hood plate and other washers?

- should I use a rubber/nylon washer and if so, where in relation to the hood and hood plate and other washers?

- should I stagger the number of spacers between the front and rear hood panel bolts so that they keep the angle of the bonnet or mount flat on the same number of washers for both?

- should I take the coil pack cover off in addition and if so where is a good spot for the igniter?

 

Thanks guys. 

Btw I have just changed gearbox and rear diff oil to redline lightweight and motul gearbox competition - best money I have spent on the car so far wow!

It's not 1975 any more. Why would you want to do this? You do appreciate that the base of the windscreen is a high pressure area, not a low pressure area, and the whole idea behind lifting the rear of the bonnet to let out out of the engine bay is invalidated by that fact? Right?

And don't take the coil pack cover off. Look inside the back of the timing cover. See the slots there? There is actually a deliberate effort made by Nissan for the cam drive system to pump some air through the coil tunnel. Take the cover off and you lose that. And you have to find some other method to mount the ignitoe, which you wouldn't have to do if you didn't remove the cover.

If my Splitfires die, and I don't feel like spending ~$1k for R35 type coils, the Yaris coils would be what I would do.

They are better coils, but not massively better. The R35/Audi/etc coils are quite a big step up though.

And, don't be fooled by the kits that say "Genuine Bosch Yaris Coils". The coils may be made by Bosch.....but genuine Yaris coils were made for Toyota by Denso. The Bosch ones are effectively aftermarket. I can't tell you that they are as good as the Denso ones.

      Problem with a tachometer on a Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine

      By kike_kike · Posted

      Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.

      I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao.

      Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.

      100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.

      Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
