Dose Pipe Sutututu

I am going to buy a R33 upright, then will buy a set of those Z1 350Z to 370Z dog bones and see how much I need to mill off the dogbone to allow the Akebono caliper to fit on. Another option is to space out the dogbone, which might require more work. I am not sure how thick the R34 GT-t upright caliper mounting tabs are, as this will influence how everything sits. The caliper essentially needs to sit at the same height as the original calipers. (not my photo)

This!

Sounds like an alternator related issue. What is your voltage like?

nek minnit goes to LMCT+ lol...

I'm assuming you're only upgrading the front? If so, no issues. When you bleed the brakes make sure part of your process involves going around the block and activating ABS then rebleeding again. I find pulling up the handbrake abruptly, then slamming the brakes is enough to trigger the ABS at low/safe speeds as there's enough of a wheel speed indifference from front and rear. I'm sure there's an easier way of cycling the pump but there's not much info on it.

Just get GT-R Brembos all round, convert the rears to drum hand brake too. A true car enthusiast will appreciate the OEM+ approach, spend the left over money on a Nismo GT-Pro LSD. Enjoy life, then sell the car, profit and buy a M2 Comp.

You already have my address, when I sent you car parts lol

But aren't we in Mexico? LOL... Also you've probably worked out I'm not precious with the car, all my mates drive it on the track.

This If you're keen, you can do it on your own, I'll stand outside and watch.

When you're in Sydney next, come drive my shit box. It's not 450kW, but it's 437kW, we can make it 450kW if we drop the cat, and drop the plumb back lol... Has VCT, has 8600rpm limiter, has twin scroll.

Reduced low down torque, so your turbo will come on later. And if it's a single scroll setup, expect a later rpm for your turbo to come on song. Removing VCT is silly on a mild car, especially if predominantly for street use.

Lol .. I own a GTShitbox-T, not allowed in.

The plan was to sell it just before warranty runs out. However the car market is so cooked, cost of living is as bad as aids, mortgage repayments have nearly doubled so yeah nah, will keep it for now. Also if we were to replace it with the same Tiguan, we will end up paying more and getting less safety features.

Thank you! Will definitely make my way out there before the next track day 🙂

(personal opinion) I prefer to run a 1.0 to 1.1 bar radiator cap, FWIW with my 1st motor (stock), I had a 1.1bar radiator cap using an off the shelf 42mm PWR radiator and the car was thrashed and cooled down for a good 10 laps on a near 40 degree day at Wakefield Park. Water temp never went past 120 C (from memory) and no coolant was gurgling, albeit it did have a 25 row Setrab oil cooler. I even used the A/C on cool down laps lol.

doesn't need to be pretty, just needs to be strong and not crack like all the others on the street! Once you paint it or powder coat, will be sexual!

Needs more Samsonas

What you've highlighted is not the PCV, it's just a cam cover fitting. Those are press fit on, you could use a pair of pliers to twist & pull and it will come out. Use a touch of WD40 to help you pull them out. Also I advise putting a breather directly on your cam covers like that, please use a catch can.

PWR if you're rich, superb coolers OR Koyo, just works. I would avoid that brand that's big in America and looks like rebranded eBay radiators with flashy marketing.

@r32-25t has a story too LOL

Send it, we bought a brand new German shit box, first thing I did was put it into Sport mode and WOT out of the dealer. After the 1st tank of fuel, used launch control several times.

Wow you went tits out replacing parts, spent more that just fitting up a Haltech lol.

A few other SAU members recently had to deal with their incompetence too. One person that's doing a RB swap had enough and rocked up unannounced after a year of waiting around ended up getting other customer's parts off the shelf that day lol.

Hypertune, episode 2654264

At least the idle will be angry lol.
