    There is more than one type of Stillen air intakes as the long pipe type air filters sit low behind the bumper. Both have pros and cons The short pipe type (with the open filters in the engine bay) suffers from heat soak and a loss of power is evident. The long pipe type can suffer from water intake if the filters are too low and if you hit flooded water then water intake is a possibility causing engine failure due to an engine hydraulic situation.
  2. 20 -22 hg. on standard cams and standard pistons.
  3. OP never got in touch which is a shame as I stock the Blue Devil PAS sealer at £10.00 per bottle.
  4. Glad to hear that you are sorted. The easy fixes are always the best ones.
  5. to the forum: A few guys on here including myself have used these guys with no complaints. https://www.carhood.com/nissan/
  6. You will find that the early GT-Rs were quite noisy, especially the agricultural transmission. The newer models 2017 up are much quieter and the GR6 transmission is much more refined.
  7. Sam, I sold my last GT-R on Pistonheads and got a fair price. I got a lot of low ball offers, some offering 10k off the asking price. However, I think that is the site where you may get the most genuine interest. GLWTS Alex.
  8. Terry, Could be numerous things causing this. First thing to check is that the belt is not to slack, there are marks on the tensioner to assist with this check. Best also to get your alternator charging rate checked and also the battery. Alternators for the HR are in stock and good to go same/next day if required. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex.
  9. That is the same bearing that is in your first post, trust me. Your picture shows the bearing fitted to the bearing carrier. As I have already explained you have to press the bearing off the old carrier and then press the new bearing onto the old carrier.
  10. This is what you want: Part number is in last post.
  11. Okay if you are not prepared to name the seller then I can only assume that it was possibly NCD or Techniclutch. You will probably also find that the Genuine Part numbers stamped on the old Exedy clutch cover and plate do not match up with the part numbers on the new parts. The two above named eBay sellers (both the same company but different names) are notorious for selling cheap option in Exedy boxes. Send the kit back and buy from a reputable seller. Exedy NSK 2168 is the part number you require Read the reviews.
  12. The fork connects to the bearing carrier and not the bearing. Use a new Koyo bearing similar to your old one. RCT4000SA You will have to press the old bearing off the carrier and then press a new Koyo bearing on to the old carrier. I am not aware of Exedy supplying that type of new bearing/carrier that came in your clutch kit. I think I know what the issue is. Who did you buy the clutch kit from?
  13. To get an informed diagnosis then you may have to get the car hooked up to Consult, otherwise, you will just be guessing. If the car was fine before you put it in the garage, then is this not the responsibility of that garage? as was the high tickover.
  14. Plenty new and preowned in stock and shipping will be £5.95 including tracking and insurance. Just drop me a PM if I can help further.
  15. Happy Days: Do you mind sharing the name of the friendly helpful garage?
  16. Rear of the engine on the coolant pipe, however, I doubt that the issue will be the ECT sensor.
  17. Definitely claim and take the service manager out in the car and demonstrate the fault, inducing the fault if you have to. Don't be deterred by him saying that you are beating the syncro as you are changing too fast or by him saying that it is wear and tear. If it comes to it, politely argue the case that it is a sports car and quick gear changes are part of the sports car experience. Also, hold firm on that it is a mechanical failure issue and not wear and tear. Good luck and keep us posted.
  18. Will just be sticking on the splines. As Jack has said, put the nut back on flush and give it a good whack with a heavy hammer. Once you have broken the seal slacken off the nut a few threads and go again. Then remove the nut and use a 1" brass/aluminium drift or similar to knock it through. Best to get an extra pair of hand to hold the drive shaft in a horizontal position when you are chapping away.
  19. Lovely looking GT-R Sam. Very surprised that this has not sold as definitely priced to sell. Long time no hear fella.
