thank god, i was getting sick of people starting threads asking about this every two months....sticky!

 

[sapisuka_return]

Good one, but how about for the non GTR engine...i like japanese mag so much (ex: OPTION..) they teach the user to D.I.Y ... so please all the sifus here to give guide how to D.I.Y...prefer to have working manual complete with picture...

 

[Driftmeister]

Good read...quite tempting actually to keep modding but always gotta make sure all maintenance schedule is not neglected.

 

[farizio]

speaking of manuals, here is the R34 manual (english), a FAQ and also a book on skylines which is an interesting read. most of you might already have it, but this one is for the new owners or soon to be godzilla jockeys!

wow! i've always thought our car filled up at 60 litres but its 72 litres actually?can anyone clarify this?

i nvr wait until the lights came up(but i nvr know as well coz i took off my dash and noticed one bulb missing, so i take it as the fuel low lights)so i always refill when my metre goes to E.At E point, i can only refill until about 52 liters, so i take it 8 litters are roughly the emergency reserve. So..if its 72 litters then i can safely assume i still have 20 litters in my car when i pump at point E?

 

[kaminari]

Ur car 65L :)

GTR32 - 72L
GTSt32 - 60L
R33 GTR/GTSt - 65L
R34GTR/GTT - 65L

Std reserve fuel tank in most car will relocate MIN 3L. So with skyline STD mod, should clock arnd 30KM range when the light pop up~

it would be great if people can come up with a package for all those sets in one piece. I am definitely doing mine but just that its a fcking hassle to get it piece by piece. Any source locally with a reasonable price that i can ring to?

[red_line]

Anyone here know the timing belt part number for ER34 rb25det neo?

thanks.

 

[V-Spec]

The Pitwork timing belt part number is AYA440-NS014. Not sure of Nissan branded ones.

 

[zamad97]

can we just change the timing belt without changing the water pump etc..:hmmmm:

 

[V-Spec]

Yes you can if the water pump condition is good. But since all the parts that are in the way are already dismantled it's wise to save labour (if your water pump fails in the future) by just changing it as well.

 

[[PIMPIN]]

Kaminari,

Can you PM me the price for the N1 water pump? Also, what about aftermarket parts - any plans to bring in brands currently not represented in Malaysia?
