SkylineV35

Aww crap... i just ordered this one... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draper-34570-3-8-Square-Drive-10-80-Nm-or-88-5-708-In-lb-Ratchet-Torque-Wrench-/171005497137?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item27d0b8cf31 The lowest is 10Nm on that ratchet, but i was thinking the.. ' *40 Inch-lbs in the numerical order shown on the following page. Then torque all the bolts to *80 Inch-lbs. Then re-torque bolts to *100 Inch-lbs ' Could i not skip out the 40 inch-lbs and just lightly hand tighten first then start at 80inch-lbs then retorque 100 inch-lbs?

Perfect!! I gave up earlier! They must of put some amount of loctite on it jeez! didnt even turn one bit only the shaft turned a lil but sprung back into place when i let go! il get some grips tomorrow and try again...thought id do it while waiting for the missus, my face was purple from straining and out of breathe, she said 'what the hell have you been doing?' I replied "Just trying to rip my knob off.." She looked at me as if i was crazy

Hey trying to remove the oem knob its turn anti-clockwise? Correct? Its one stiff knob cant seem to budge it..issit really necessary to put a clamp on the bottom of shaft? Will i damage anything if i twist it too hard cause the shifter feels like its twisting!? Oh also issit better to have it in/out of gear to remove? Saskhi

iv just read the motordyne manual and its said 40inchlb then 80inchlb then 100inchlb, what is that in Nm i had a look at the harlfords one and i think it only goes to 6-45lbft/8-60Nm is lbft the same as inchlb? just found this.. *Note: To convert inch-pounds to foot-pounds, simply divide by 12 inches to convert to feet. Its been a long time since iv done any maths: am i correct in assuming 100inchlb / 12 = 8.33 therefore the harlfords 6-45lbft/ 8-60Nm would be ideal?

Ah thats the ticket il ask them at harlfords! Would get the one from amazon but im impatient lol. Thanks :thumbs: Yeah i never did my spark plugs with torque wrench might just take them out and and redo them. il look for the service manual, did you mean motordyne or nissan one?

Ok thanks il do a lil measuring sometime in the weekend! Thanks Saskhi

How low are we talking? Im going to head to harlfords tomorrow to see if i can find one. The one that comes with the motordyne issit a thermal or standard gasket?

Wow! Looking good! Now i want to vinyl wrap mine!!

Just want to double check that is price for 2 spacers correct?

I thought thermal was to stop heat from engine getting to plenum? Yeah it can get pretty cold in scotland. Thanks for the advice though much appreciated

ok thanks will attack it once the mrev2 arrives!

Hey just wondering if theres a diy in this forum that i have overlooked? Planning to d.iy. found some videos on youtube is it really necessary to change gaskets, use loctite on washers and use torque wrench? Should it just be a case of bolt on and get an uprev? Also issit worth getting the iso thermal spacers and thermal throttlebody gasket considering i live in scotland? Much appreciated Saskhi

My purple one has arrived from smudgeon just want to double check its a straight bolt on? no need for any gaskets or sealant or anything? And is a torque wrench really necessary? Thanks Saskhi

Why remove them for f.i? Are these not as strong as oem ones?

Ahh.. so technically i dont even need it for my car to function at optimum? I just thought the readings would be processed back to ecu to differ a/f or something but if its just to tell you if cats are functioning then a bypass would suffice! What if i just deleted the code using obd r/w and just filled in the holes would that be a problem?

Just thought id chime in my Vdc kicks in alot less since i changed to mpss all round compared to the original re050. But what was really strange was some roads where the vdc kicks in on my mpss, when i turn off vdc driving exactly the same revs, gear steering angle the tyres dont spin at all, I think the Vdc is overprotective sometimes. I also tried standing start 0-60 with the new tyres and vdc kicked in on 2nd, but with it turned off wot shifting into second the tyres didnt spin at all just gripped and went, does this mean my vdc is overcautious or its settings are messed because of new tyre sizes? Saskhi

Same problem as quoted had to get my engine light reset a couple of times now, so I guess we are agreeing the spacer just screws on to the existing Berks fitting? Presumedly the extra length does not interfere with any part of the engine-exhaust area? Alex if your reading this, a nod of the head gets you a sale You have the nod mate The extra O2 simulator should not interfere with the undercarriage and providing they are not pointing downwards then you will also have enough ground clearance. Alex Hey Alex, do you still have these in stock? I was also wondering placing the sensor further from where its supposed to be, will it not give inaccurate readings for the ecu? or is it the other way round it places it to optimum position for sensor readings? or do the sensor readings not effect the ecu in any other way? Also people that have the check light that comes on sometimes why is that? And would heat wrapping your decat help at all? Thanks Saskhi

My worst memory of a vauxhall was flipping a rental corsa into a field due to supersoft/knackered suspension and cornering way too hard! Rolled quite a distance there was parts everywhere wheels came off, boot was bent open roof caved in.. but in fairness it was a really old corsa and i was a tw*t at 17!

ouch.... are shelbys really that powerful?!? Gives a new meaning to.. "tearing it up on the dyno"

ok thanks its just someone has a set of 350z brake lines stated for brembo just wondering if they would fit my 05 renewed brake system.

hahaha Ok thanks il try the base one first thanks Alex!

Hey i was wondering how do you adjust the handbrake? My handbrake seems to be pointing to the sky now.. is there a way to set it lower again before it was 3clicks and then its solid but over the past month its went to almost 8clicks..

Are the brake lines really needed or are they the same as non brembos?
