  1. Once upon a time, my GT-R got a split clutch hose (standard rubber). I had to drive the car home with no clutch, only had one use of it to move the car from stand still. Luckily I managed to get a couple of green lights before getting onto the motorway. You don't need a clutch to drive the car, but if you stop, you'll have to move it on the starter or something. Don't need a tacho to rev match, can do it from sound and 'feel'. The single synchro gearbox in my R31 is quite slow, but I can drive it smoothly. I can drive my GT-R by lazy rev matching and it's quite smooth (super heavy clutch). Don't shift quickly, keep the revs up and practice. You'll get the hang of it, then can apply it to your new box .
  2. Nothing looks out of place here Mr. Scrutineer. The airflow meter is attached to the intake as per regulations .
  3. Pete have you removed the radio yet? You don't need it for drive on and off the trailer . I thought if the Police were called out, they had to charge someone? My mum was charged for neg driving when some random crazy guy in a disability scooter drove/rode across a busy roundabout and crashed into the rear guard of my mum's old car. No there were no pedestrian crossings/footpaths there.
  4. Damn I should really put mine on (not as big rotors).
  5. Some bloke name Fred Gibson ran a HR31 Skyline during the Group A era. He made his own manifold. You can also ask R31House for one.
  6. Steroidsonic.
  7. Use this site: http://www.willtheyfit.com/ Gives you an idea of the changes. Then grab a ruler/tape measure/similar and start measuring your wheel well. BTW Nismo sizes are usually 8"+35 front 9"+38 rear.
  8. +1, I have an old leather one but didn't know there was a suede boot.
  9. I do like the Brembo brakes on GT3 cars, 380mm rotors. 410mm AP Racing kit for R35 Their carbon one looks great as well, but tiny pictures.
  10. Unless you have GT-R guards, no.
  11. Is that a low mount? Trust? Looks like a Nissan copy to me
  12. I'm at work so can't hear anything. Is it a turbocharged LS1?
  13. Airbags... marvellous. Good thing you walked away from that... And they say imports aren't safe pfft. Always go for a checkup, as you've learnt. Good luck with it all.
  14. Thanks for the pics. Clearly shows tons of foreground, glare and virtually no cut off (look at the trees and yellow bin + stuff behind it). The halogens, although dimmer, does what it does (cutoff, no foreground). But hey, as long as you're happy. City driving it would be fine (besides annoying other drivers lol), but good luck on country roads. HID kit in standard projectors is a downgrade from halogen. All you get is two thin 'pillars' of useless glare-y pencil beams. Here's a couple of crappy shots of Morimoto HID projectors (FX-R) behind the standard (streaky) R32 lenses. Has too much foreground for my liking, will modify that at some stage (have to take everything apart again). The output is diffused too much by the standard lens cover thingy. Next project is to retro another set with clear lenses from a UK company.
  15. I've seen approximately 0 people flash someone with bad headlights. It's just an accepted thing on the road these days it seems. Not saying your LED lamps are terrible, I've never seen them in real life, but generally running them isn't that great. Granted the R32 projectors are shithouse (assuming reflectors are slightly better). HID retrofit isn't that expensive, approximately $400-600 depending on how much you want to spend on bulbs and ballasts. Got some output/wall shots GHO5T? Interested to see how they work with the R32 reflectors. Duncan, do you want to see or be seen?
  16. Shall I chime in? Lol If you have reflector (N1) headlights, anything other than halogen will be glare-y and the light pattern would be quite poor. Read this: https://www.hidplanet.com/forums/forum/general-discussion/leds/64081-thoughts-on-h11-led-headlight-kit?p=1382874#post1382874 Things like foreground, hotspot near the cutoff, etc. are quite important for night driving (i.e. being able to see distance, not just in front of the bumper). But since Duncan's car is a track car, glare doesn't really matter. Still, if you want to see at night... Obviously the Philips are very good but expensive. I usually see that the eBay ones are very blue and die quicker. Don't expect the headlights ones to last that long (ones with a little fan on the back). Or... I can sell you a pair of HID retrofitted projector headlights . As for the rest, eBay ones should be fine.
  17. Does the ECU use MAP or AFM?
  18. NOS... two of the big ones. But seriously, your tune must be good. Try an aftermarket ECU
  19. R34 GT-R front brakes fits on R31 (jap/gts struts).
  20. Replacing your turbo requires mechanical knowledge. Sometimes it's best to let someone that has done it before do it. You'll need a turbo plus supporting stuff, like lines, tune, injectors, fuel pump maybe, etc etc. You asked a very vague question.
  21. But it looks fully sick.
  22. Perhaps you should start a thread titled 'Finding Nismo Equivalent' ?
  23. His plates came up instead of the offending V36er... ?
  24. I have a 3" Magnaflow muffler (new). PM me if you're interested.
