  1. I'm running same turbo on mine (mines a stock neo though)

    300kW on 98 @ 18PSI

    365kW on E85 @ 25PSI

    Super responsive, would definitely recommend 1.5 way diff, i have one and it still likes to step out on boost. im only running 235 tyres on the rear, hoping to change wheels in the future and put a wider stickier tyre on the back.

    So what is the neutral position for the high beams on the stalk ?

    I think mine is bit noodled up, central position turns high beam on front turns off and have no flash on complete inward spring position. Can someone confirm what positions is turn on off on theirs please. 

    Central is high beams off

    Forward towards front of car is high beams on (stays locked forward)

    Rearward towards driver is to flash (doesnt stay locked in)

    I'm not after the whole cover. I purchased that new, OEM. Just the bezel that frames the screen. If that's what you meant, then I didn't see something like at 3D Racing Solutions. Just the whole cover.

    And I understand that most people wouldn't want to share a file. But the general attitude of the post was mostly one of seeking information.

    Ah sorry, i misread the post. if its just a bezel, it shouldnt be too hard to draw up if you can provide dimensions.

    Might be worth downloading fusion360 and watching a couple of youtube videos then you can have a go at making the file yourself.

    maybe cut up a bit of card to start with, measure it then tweak the curvature on CAD.

     

  4. Got a nice little update for the car, been a little while since the last one. This time i focussed on getting the interior to where i want it.

    First item on the agenda was a new gearknob, wanted a new one but couldnt find any offerings that wouldnt burn your hand off on a hot summers day. We are Likewise recently released a weighted stainless item with a delrin top so I ordered that along with a new handbrake button and shift boot retainer.

    Next item on the list was a new wheel, had a momo drift wheel on there but im really not a huge fan of suede! purchased a Nardi deep corn 350mm in perforated leather with red stitching, it feels a millions times better now on the hands!

    Onto the CD player next. i had a double din alpine unit which was perfect for my needs apart from one crucial element - apple carplay. i have carplay in my work ute and have got that used to just being able to do everything via the headunit that when i drive the skyline the basic bluetooth functions get on my nerves a bit, so an alpine Halo 9 was ordered. Really liking it soo far, plus i think it helps further modernise the interior and ties in well with the IC-7 dash! I just need to get some make-a-bracket from bunnings and securely mount the heater controls as my car doesnt seem to have any brackets for the headunit or the controls! will be an easy fix though.

    Now im probably gonna cop a lot of flaming for this next purchase due to them being replicas but hey ho! got some Bride Stradia 2 low max reps in Alcantara paired with the superlow rails. first impressions are they seem pretty well made, quality of welds looks okay and they feel pretty firm in the car. theres a little bit of flex but im assuming this is due to the fibreglass construction... time will tell how they hold up. But i'll give an honest review in a few months time.

    And finally i decided to change up the engine bay a little bit. Ordered a stainless steel dimple die'd coilpack cover from modern metal and painted my rocker covers wrinkle black. first time using the paint so i should have probably tried it on something simpler first, but i have another can and will probably give it another crack later on down the line. Finish isnt the best but it will do! Also purchased a Tomei Piston oil cap and some purple dress washers and m6 bolts to finish off the look. (dont have a photo of the bolts and oil cap - will add that to a later post)

    Going to order a black radiator hose and potentially do a battery relocation to the boot too.

    Amayama, worked out cheaper than local because I bought a bunch of stock seals, gromets, interior bits and bobs.

    Vega Motorsports guy has them for GT-Rs at a reasonable price.

    would be great if there was a newer nissan you could buy the bits from. i need the whole AC assembly apart from the bit under the dash essentially. im looking at a fortune if i want AC back in my car (which i do)

    Nothing's changed. It has been another ~8000km since the previous update. Haven't even looked at the GK-Tech arms since that post (ie, no problems that would cause me to look). UAS arms have been in the bottom of a box in the shed since then and I anticipate that they will never go back on the car.

    The GK-Tech arms are good. I did have some concerns with them to start with, as described in my earlier posts. Nothing that was not overcome. I made up some nappies to go around them, from clear PVC sheet and press studs. This to keep the dirt and water away from them as much as possible, so I can have lots of grease in the boots. The effort seems justified. Keeping in mind that this is 100% a daily road car and I would rather do something else on weekends than jack up the car, dismantle the front suspension and clean and lube "race only" FUCAs.

    perfect, will get some ordered ASAP!

    And a year down the track, another follow up.

    The UAS arms have not done well. They work, when new. But after 10000km of daily driving they have "stretched" so that the centre pivot that provides the equivalent flexibility of the GK-Tech arms now allows the arms to bend (instead of just twist) at their centre point. The amount of sloppy motion that this permits in the suspension is just gross. The car was really quite scary to drive. Very vague, as you'd expect.

    So, the GK-Tech arms went back on yesterday. As soon as they were bolted up you could tell that the suspension upright's movement was being controlled properly. No wild wiggly slop. First drive this morning - much better. Clearly the UAS arms were allowing quite a lot of random upright twisting, which affected toe angles and camber in the middle of every load change.

    So, my vote's still with the GK-Tech arms, by quite a long way. Even when they suffer some wear in a rod end they won't allow as much slop.

    sorry to drag up an old thread. im looking at purchasing some of these shortly. 

    Do your comments still hold up or has your opinion changed on these?

    Of all the places I could have done the damage I was lucky. Further forwards and I'd have done some suspension and wheel damage, further back the the boot/beaver, tail light and rear bar.

    Took it to All Type Crash who did a stellar job pulling out the mess I made.

    First they drilled a few small holes to pull out the bulk of it.

    They then chased out as much as they could in metal

    Painted up with a decent match in colour.

    I just need to cut some new stickers and we're back in business

  9. i suspect it will be an absolute pain in the arse to print that part without a shit ton of supports. 

    it will also show up a shit tonne of layer lines which will require a fair bit of post processing, fillering and painting (which i believe he does to most dashes anyway), he's probably flying through the easier jobs first.

    Still, it wouldnt hurt to reply to your customer base!
