Picked up the fittings and hose for the catch can today and fitted it all up. Not really happy with how the drivers one runs under my piping but it will do for now. Couple of shots from a car meet the other night.

Gave her a quick clean on Tuesday because a car meet. Needs a good detail to get rid of the swirlies on her. And I finally got my catch can done tonight! So tomorrow I'll be off to MSA to get some fittings and braided hose to hook it all up Might even get some smaller hose to relocate my boost solenoid somewhere a bit better now my can's in. Also take her down for a much needed wheel alignment...

They are shagged and the rubber is gone really hard...

So got it all back together with new rotors on. Since I 'downgraded' my rear brake setup I thought might as well make use of it and run 16s with some Mickey Thompsons. Picked up a pair of 32 GTR wheels today for a steal. Few scratches here and there but no complaining for the price. Will be wrapping them in some 255/50r16 et street s/s sometime this week if I get the time. Maybe go down to Willowbank and see how she goes with some traction off the line. Trigger is all setup and timed now. Car feels really smooth in high rpm now. See how we go getting it on the dyno early this week for a touch up.

So it was a mission to get the CV out... I couldn't do it even with a big f**k off hammer so I pulled the whole assembly off and dropped it down to see if we can press it out.... Biggest f**k around, thought it would be a quick job but no. Fk you rust... DBA rotors also turned up yesterday thanks to Dose pipe! If all goes well should be going by Sunday.... Fingers crossed...

So went out to Circuit & Coffee on Sunday for a spin, then up to Mt Tamborine for a pub feed. Got to my mates place and found out the cv had destroyed itself. Bolts had come out on the drive, lucky it didn't happen on the highway or doing 200km/h+.... When i inspected the clunk I also found that both my rear rotors have cracks. Will be downgrading the big brake kit on the rear and getting some stock size DBA rotors. Will also allow me to run 16" rims with some mickeys when I get around to it... On the other hand my trigger kit turned up so I installed that yesterday. Nice easy install, just have to double check the clearance between the trigger wheel and sensor. Can't wait to get my catch can all done to fk that hideous filter off... Hopefully pick up a new cv this week and slap it in with some nyloc nuts so it doesn't happen again....

Looks good! But are you going to screw more into it? If not why such a big turbo for power a gt30 can easily make with a lot better response?

So my turbo blew up at breakky and laps a few weeks ago. Not sure why but the bearings were rooted. It has now been rebuilt with ceramic ball bearings and dosing again 8) Catch can turned up, looks amazing, cant wait to fit it up! Only problem is how my gate sits I can't get the bracket down next to it where it's meant to bolt to the body. So ill have to refab the bracket to pick up another bolt hole somewhere else, im thinking strut tower at this stage will be easiest. Ordered an NZ Wiring cam trigger kit that wad recommended to me by a lot of people. That gets sent off this week so hopefully have it in the next 2 weeks. Been tossing up whether or not to sell my turbo or not, would only be upgrading to a gtx3076r as that will make enough for the stock bottom rb25. If i can find one at a reasonable price I might swap mine out and get it retuned when i put the cam trigger in as well.

So looks like I'll be going for the Ross Balancer with crank trigger kit, hopefully get that in the next couple of weeks then throw her back on the dyno for a touch up. Tuner could only get 70% eth content on the tune, plugged laptop in and with full tank she was up around the 80% mark so hopefully be able to screw a little bit more into it. I'd say the turbo would almost be at its limit and don't wanna go too crazy with it since its stock bottom end still. Think this will be the final step for this motor/setup. Ordered a AT Performance catch can a couple weeks ago, they said it's all been CNC cut and just needs to be formed and welded. So should be here next week Will look so much better than the hose between the two covers and a filter on top and will actually have somewhere to put the blowby. Will be running it to atmosphere so blocking the PCV with a welch plug on the rocker cover.

R33 GTSt S2 Tomei headgasket ARP studs Tomei 256 poncams Performance Valvesprings Gt3076r-wg 1000cc injectors Powered by a Link G4+ plugin Needs crank trigger kit 496whp on E85 20psi 460whp on P98 18psi

Got her back today! Super stoaked with the results. Was exactly 1yr since my last tune same dyno etc. E85/20psi left 98/18psi right. Needs a crank trigger as timing is wandering all over the joint. Car pulls super strong and smooth with the new ecu controlling the boost.

Got my head back today, really happy with how it came up! New springs, stem seals and a little bit of a tickle to clean up castings. Managed to get it on today, got tomorrow off as well so hopefully get the manifolds on. Just waiting on my lifters to be bled and then I can throw them in with the cams. Should be running by saturday if theres no problems..

Ok so f**k you photobucket... Havent updated cause to lazy to find another photo host... Bought a cooler panel from GKtech, extra 50kw and looks good 8) And then this happened.... http://imgur.com/8x8UQS8[/img] http://imgur.com/MZyOhS4[/img] http://imgur.com/irF9BLn[/img] Dropped her off at the machinist to get cleaned up and checked ready to drop back on when I get back from NZ tonight, so will pick up the head tomorrow and start throwing her back together this week and drop her down to get the Link G4+ installed and tuned on the 4th Also ordered a genuine timing kit and a Gates waterpump to install while im in there. Will be a few bits and pieces ill be putting in as well. Super keen to see how she goes with cams and more boost. Will be punching my cat out as well to assist in reducing backpressure/adding gains!

Definitely just go solids man, mine are still fine I'm running poly subframe and rear diff bushes with solid pinion bushes

Few pics from Friday Night, went out for a cruise and had a bit of fun!

Yeah 180km/h is definitely good for a low 12. Just gotta practice your launches. You get it close to a 2.0-2.1 should get your around mid 12. 18psi should have plenty of grip at the strip still. Maybe youre slipping the clutch too much off the line? I found I had to slip it a little and let it straight out otherwise I'd bake first and then second. Also run my coilovers on softest setting, well 2 clicks off.

Man the cooling panel looks mint! I'm gonna have to get one for mine soon I think! What tyres and alignment are you running? I managed a 1.8 60ft with my 255 RS3's coming off the line with 12psi. Have you tried letting your tyres down? I think I ran that with about 16psi in mine.

So my Nankang NS2R's aren't the greatest from my experience so far. When cold they are terrible, definitely need a bit of heat in them to grip up (not good for a daily). They are the 180 treadwear version, I'd expect the 120 version to hook up a lot better. Not sure if its my new alignment setup or not but I went for a run and it's stepping out at 120-130km/h when i hit full boost in 3rd. Will throw the RS3's back on sometime and see if they do the same thing. On the other hand I bought a Link G4+ today that was for sale cheap so I jumped on it. After driving my mates recently tuned 33 with a Link I have to upgrade from the Nistune. Now I just have to wait until I get back from NZ in September to pull the head off and get it machined and slap all the good bits in with it and retune on the Link! Super keen to see how much better it runs with the link along with the cams and more boost!

I saw your car down at the tuners when I picked up my mates 33 today! Looks awesome man, keen to see what it does on a proper tune

Took her in for a wheel alignment yesterday. Extended my traction rods 10mm and running -1* camber and 0mm toe each side. Hopefully hooks up a lot better now. Will find out tonight at Roll Racing how it goes with these Nankang ns2r's on the rear.

Got the new diff bushes in and it drives great now! Can't tell any difference in noise from them but it doesnt slap around anymore which means its quieter ? Heres the old bushes, same thing must have happened with the old ones but top ring must have come out. Serviced her and threw the new beanie on for Roll Racing lastnight but was cancelled due to rain Found out that they wound my traction rods back in when I got an alignment so I'll get the rear realigned and get the traction rods pushed out 10mm and run -1* camber instead of -1.5*. Fingers crossed it'll get my power down after that and run some lower numbers down the quarter

Yeah well thats what I would have thought too haha... Anyway these came yesterday will fit them up these next couple of days and go down to get some camber taken out. Also ordered a turbo beanie which should be here today or tomorrow

They were fine, I'm thinking it could be because I put the Nismo LSD in? All the hopping and shit from it could have cause it.

I'm not sure, definitely something wrong as the same thing happened on both sets. I have ordered a diff bush kit from Gktech and also a poly gearbox mount. Hopefully get it all in before Roll Racing this Saturday.

So I just checked my pinion bushes anddddd it's done the same thing... Looks like ill have to get some solid bushes in there...
