yeah have heard of this happening, what some people have done is put cut pipe in half and put a metal insert with 2 hoseclamps keeping it together

i have this

its about a 150mm long piece of 3inch exhaust pipe, then cut your stock intake pipe (i took out 2 of the ridges) and put it back together with some hose clamps

I am, Ben wasn't; I don't think he's a big fan of the old Trust style joins on those GREX coolers. We replaced the oil line that had that extra joiner, too dogdey for me.

Also it was an SR20 oil filter that fits on there. Makes me a little sad that I have to poison my RB with a part from that terrible engine.

Those older style earls joins work fine theyre just not mil-spec.

Yeah the joined line wasnt done by me, was done when i sold it the first time and then they gave it back after cutting it up cos they couldnt make it fit. Dickheads.

Today was a very busy night!

R32 running again and back on the road. Turns out my coilpack loom had been tampered with but is now rewired! Then I had two fouled spark plugs. Slight adjustmentment to timing and I am now running with the Splitfires.

Also managed to get front wipers going at last!

Good to hear mate :D

What was the go with the loom? who'd tampered with it? previous owner or wildlife?

Appeared to be yet another previous owners dodgy work. Wasn't wired correctly(possibly only just twisted wire together) and I may have just pulled apart whatever was taped together. So had nothing going to front 3 coilpacks.

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
