It's just a little turbo

[evilgtr]

It's a small coolant hose I believe it's a bypass hose, in the picture in this thread directly above the post I mentioned it on (page 8 I think ?) if you above the starter and to the left a little you will see it it's about 3" and the hose will cost you $5 to make one at parts source. It comes off of that stainless steel line that come around the back of the head. It's the line that turns into a "Y" and one side with the short hose attaches to a nipple on/under the back of the head..sh1t it's really hard to explain. You can see it clearly in the picture

while your at this point you should replace the small 3" hose in the picture above thats above the starter and off to the left abit. my had a small tear in it and I had to remove my intake and everything to get at it. it was a huge PITA. it will take you 2 minutes with your car the way it is now. Trust me you want to do this. When I talked to Andrew from Ztune he even said its one of the worst jobs hes ever done on his car, he was so annoyed with taking the intake off he decided to pull the motor to change that hose, what does that tell you.

you know what the hose is for? I'm not near my car right now but from the pic it looks like it has a cap on it? That the one your talking about?

dude i might be interested in that hks twin plate if your trying to get rid of it. pm me if you wana sell it. i bought a os giken twin but i dont think its gna be enough.

Its an HKS triple plate....its pretty gnarly to drive with lol...I'm going to rebuild it and keep it for myself until the OS decides to go that way I have a spare If I change my mind I will let you know!

Ok so obviously anyone still arguing about the nozzles still hadn't read the post about water/methanol it explains in detail how the water methanol injection with an inefficient intake manifold can actually help to alleviate the problem. If you haven't read it you should it's very informative and isn't that what this forum is all about? Thanks for the post.

So tore down the tranny. My uncle broke the center plate pressing out on of the shafts at his work so now I need a new plate or somehow get the machine shop to magically weld the broken piece back in for me. Anyways heres a few pictures. 4th gear synchro wasnt working and found the reason why..There are 3 clips that hold the synchro in place while in gear and the clips broke, came off and would not allow 4th gear to go in So there is a little bit of damage on the gear itself which I will be ordering the whole shaft which is unfortunate because of the design of our gears. 4th gear is on the end of the shaft which sticks out of the bell housing and into your clutch as you will see in the picture...Sorry if this doesnt make any sense i'm angry cuz the guy at Nissan pissed me off lol...

4th gear is on the far top left of this picture...the shaft comes apart


The broken piece from pressing this shaft out


The new clutch on the bench


The new clutch bolted in and tordued down



So from here I'm looking at taking the broken plate to a machine shop to see what they can do ORRRRRR a much better idea is if anybody has a spare transmission around that wants to part out the center plate I would love that. Also If you have a tranny in perfect working order let me know because I will buy it!

Transmission is out! Wasn't as bad of a job as I thought it would be. Just the top starter bolt and bell housing bolt. Starter bolt I used about a 2 foot extension and ran it underneath the plenum and a little luck got it on the starter bolt and came right out. The top bell housing bolt I used roughly 4 feet of extension with the engine tilted downwards and a swivvel on the end to get at it. Those 2 bolts alone took about half an hour to figure out how to get at them! But all in all for my first time I removed it and the clutch in 3 hours.

The clutch that I pulled out is and HKS triple plate and plans are to rebuild it and eventually sell it or maybe even use it next year. Depends on how much I will like my new OS Giken TS2B.

Anyways just a short quick update. Waiting to get new 4th gear synchros for the tranny and then it will be going back in. Pictures will come when it is re assembled!

Looking into buying a power fc d jetro to eliminate my maf's. So I will have a set of stock maf's for safe and and pair of z32 mafs also for sale. Also my stock mines reprogrammed ecu will be for sale as well...will be taking best offers!

[leeaspin]

nice...my buddy got his supra dyno tuned down there a couple weeks ago...he said he made a 4th gear pull and his afr's didnt even change .1 thats how spot on the tune was lol. He said their pretty crazy. And it only cost him like $500 and he bought a new wastegate too...so really their not that expensive!

[gtrjon]

yes sir plus they have a dope r34. im going to try and schedule a tune with them on sunday for july sometime

[leeaspin]

psi's shop is just unreal...and awd dyno

[gtrjon]

ill be talking to the psi boys on sunday

[leeaspin]

Ah I was gonna say something about those wheels too! I love the look on the GTR, nice fitment. Will you be buying another set for the 265s?

As for Flywheel torquing its 142-152 N-m or 105-112ft-lbs. Make sure you coat the threads in oil.

Nice choice on the OS Giken. I have a twin plate OS clutch and its great. Its as stiff as a brake pedal and your left leg will hurt a bit but you get use to it

Take some pics of the install!

thanks, I donno what I wana do at this point about wheels and tire setup...I like what I have now but with the 245's I'm still breaking traction in 3rd gear which is sometimes really hairy.

I will take lots of pics of the clutch install for sure. And hopefully soon I will be doing my fuel system aswell. My injectors are only 550cc and that aint nearly enough for what I need. So I need some 1000cc injectors and a fuel rail. Also have to take my pump outta the tank so I can see what i'm dealing with...its really loud so I dont think its stock..maybe theres even 2 pumps but at this point I doubt it. So when the money comes and hopefully thats soon I will be getting the fuel system buttoned up!
