Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

oh no... what's next... auto!?!?! or a little engine to power the big turbo to boost the medium sized motor? Ba ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Last couple of bits of my mechanical puzzle sorted; subframe mounts arrived, and old skool Apex'i front mount kit not far off.

Any ideas where in Hobart I can take the 31 to get the subframe mounts changed over and the Hicas lines and rams removed (run the length of the car, a lot easier on hoist)?

Don't say pedders.

They are really good, drop in and see Martin this job wouldn't be a problem for them, do you need a Hicas lock bar? or are the different to R32's

Ok, will check that out. Its not a huge job, just a bit of PITA to do in the driveway, and a press would make it 100x easier to push out the old mounting bush sleeves.

Yeah they're a lot different to R32/33/34 silvias etc; rear end is trailing arms ala 180B, subframe mounts by two big hollow rubber mounts, and HICAS consists of two short rams driven off the Power steer pump through an electronically controlled servo unit which move the entire rear end (subframe, diff, trailing arms, the lot) around 1.5-3 degrees by flexing the subframe around the two mounts. Diff is mounted to the chassis on a big rubber block and solid mounted to the subframe...

Applying 80's tech to 60's tech rear end basically.

I've removed the forward portion of lines, the electronic control unit, the servo unit and swapped to a single chamber pump and reservoir but still need to fit the solid bushes and remove the rams and hoses. The new solid mounts will lock the rear end up, eventually will get a urethane diff mount too to make it 100% solid.

Finally my 6Boost manifold has turned up. After being told it would take 1 week to modify from 25 to 26.

10 weeks later and after being delivered to the wrong address I have it.

Great work on the manifold.

Shit customer service....

Took the GTR out to Symmons today for a club day.

Did a 1:07.72 on my first ever flying lap around the track.

Managed to get down to a 1:05.03 by the middle of the afternoon before they closed proceedings.

So, now gotta buy some new semi slicks as the second hand ones I bought are trashed after today.

Also really need to invest in some new top arms front and rear as the excess camber didnt help much with tyre wear and made it track all over the place at speed.

Finally got around to changing the oil in the 33, was too painful trying to get Lubrimaxx so I'm running some Nulon 10W-40 'high tech fast flowing' fully synthetic oil. Shall see how that goes.

And while the oil was draining, pulled off the stock R33 intercooler and replaced it with an R34 GT-T one. Half an inch thicker and 4 or 5 rows taller. Kind of impressive. No idea if it's making a big difference, but it can only help from a cooling side of things? It was free from the workshop in QLD that did all the stuff to my old S13 up there, I'd had it sitting in the boot for... oh... 10 months. lol

So even if it doesn't perform overly well, it's free at least? :D

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By Duncan · Posted

      This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.

      Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.

      I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
