Congrats Daniel .... Welcome to the world of white 34's, a privilege offered to but a few ... indeed the selected few, you shall never look back. Btw nice car mate.

Haha thanks

It's pearl white as well so does that have added privilege?

Oh and I have some more good news as well.

I finished all the stages of my application for a promotion. Got through the interviews, tests and psych test as well. Now it's left in the hands of HR to decide.

It does make me a little more optimistic being the only person who applied for the promotion haha

Yeah I always clutch in when starting as it puts less strain on the starter motor plus I always park in gear. (no turbo timer)

but on those rare ocassions when you aren't in the car (eg, focused on the engine bay) it'd be a pain. :/

This man speaks the truth.

Nice wheels too. Looks super clean.

Mine is a series one. Series 2 also had a slightly better trim on the seats and door cards. The series one material get's dirty looking quite quickly. Mine has the Altia? body kit not sure if the series 2 had that as an option.

Rosie S1 / Richard S2 (auto)

S1 front bar + lip is the better for sure.

S2 looks a bit more S15 Silvia.

Hmm so does Richards have a similar front bar to me?

Series 2 (manual) also came with a helical diff which is meant to be way better than the viscous.

I dont clutch in.

unless I have to.

and the extra strain is a clutch disc, and input shaft.

not that much.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
