The GTI-R email group's FAQ ... 

(contains loads of info such things as oil, plugs, camber settings and upgrade options)...

a) as a Word 2000 doc  

           b) as a HTML page

Tip from owner J Tandy ...

"I found a suitable replacement for the silly little plastic pins that are needed to work the controls for the windows etc.
I found some pop rivets at work and cut both ends down, this should allow the end to slide up and down, slide it to the opposite end and apply a tiny bit of [epoxy] glue and smooth it off. Let it dry and they work perfectly.  Quite a handy tip if you don't want to shell out heaps of cash for a new unit."


Tip from Gordon Kay to fit a UK-style big battery into your Jap-spec GTI-R

These are the parts needed;-

PLASTIC TRAY THAT THE BATTERY SITS ON

24425-89902

ROD BATTERY

NEED 2 OF THESE

24420-M6600

BRACKET THAT GOES ACROSS TOP OF BATTERY

  "YOU WILL ALSO NEED A NEW, SHORT EARTH LEAD & TERMINAL - I REMOVED THE STANDARD ONE AT THE BOLT UNDER THE BATTERY AND FITTED THE NEW ONE THERE. ALSO NEEDED IS A POS TERMINAL (+VE) AND 2x10 MM NUTS"


To remove oil mist in your intake - as seen on a recent Norris Designs rebuild (2003)

Remove the vacuum pipe to the cam cover (1). Blank the cam cover inlet and make a loop of tubing for each pair of vacuum feeds on each of the four inlets (remove all other redundant pipes).

Remove the vacuum pipe to the cam cover (2) This one is the real oil mist villain! Blank off the redundant inlet pipe and put an oil mist filter on the cam cover outlet pipe just to make sure that the head can breath and doesn't get compression buildup.

 Standard Nissan procedure when you need to bleed the water system ... remove this bolt. Refill with water and replace this bolt.

Some of the basics of DET ... (although this stuff is not specific to GTI-R/turbo engines - it's solid, practical advice!)

Lots of owners have asked me to find diagrams/pics of the oily bits ... here they are!

Miscellaneous diagrams ...

Alternator (Hitachi LR180-725)
