    Yeah just the catch can itself is less than ideal so need a tidy up. The things has a Nismo can on it as a hangover from ages ago and I was just going to replace that with the cyclone.

    Going to give this a try to see if it helps with the oil puke. Air Cyclone.pdf

    You dont need an accusump. No idea what the fuel type has to do with the sump breathers which vent blowby via a route that is not the head. But it is next to impossible to fit sump breathers with the engine in. You can, if you try hard enough, remove the sump and leave the engine in. It all depends on how much bother you want to go to. If you leave the system as is you will get oil dripping out of the bov's and generally through your induction system. If you vent the catch can to atmosphere you will probably get oil spread around your engine bay. If your engine has a good amount of blowby you will definately get these things happening. You have to fix it properly if you want to fix it and even then it wont be perfect.

    To answer your question - are they stock? No. They are Garrett aftermarket turbos - the dash 7 is the smallest of the range of Garrett's you may chose from. In order of size they are 707160 dash 7, 9, 5 & 10.

    Could you imagine the uproar if that ad was put on Australian TV. The do gooders and the safety nazis would be apoplectic. Still love the double bird salute from the Gibson Motorsport Team to the jeering Holden fans in the photo.

    This is the ad. Also, this was posted up on the ten tenths forums. SHows the Nissan pits just after the 92 race was declared. Fkn gold.

    Usually one bottle (500ml) is enough to do it all. If you are worried get two bottles, it is cheap enough. For what its worth my brake fluid comes out looking black as night so if it is still the same colour as what you are putting in it shouldnt be such a drama, surely?

    By the time you are getting to 65 second lap times you will be hating on Sumitomo. Trust me.

    Well good luck to you. Nice to see someone from Perth having a go. You may want to have a look at Antilag as there are a few GT-R's getting built and written about on that site. Seeing as you asked for criticism I would point to the following as questionable: power fc d-jetro, trust drag intercooler, super stiff coilovers all around, bolt in rollcage. Currently a kitty has been started for an R34 6 speed box conversion. Also if you want a 60 second lap at Wanneroo you will need brakes which probably wont be compatible with 17" rims.

    I usually find the mess is made shortly after you have had to smash a screw driver through the filter just to unscrew the overly tight #$%^ of a thing.

    Should be a couple hundred bucks at the most for the parts and its really a DIY job. THe most you would need is a spring compressor and the spanners to undo the collars.
  12. djr81
    You need a helper spring. They are not expensive. Find out what the inside diameter of you springs are (Would guess 65mm), what height you need to bridge and go from there. http://eibach.com/de/en/motorsport/products/eibach-helper-system

    Lewis usually implodes off the start line. Wonder who Williams will sign for next year. List of likely candidates doesnt look promising. They need someone with some money and who can drive. Kind of limits the field.

    As noted most of these measures are not a case of either/or. You need them all to work together to try and overcome a design floor in the RB26. So, yes, drill the oil returns. Vent the sump via the catch can. Fit a restrictor. But most importantly pay alot of attention on your piston and ring selection, how they are assembled in terms of clearances and overwhelmingly important how they are lubricated during assembly (The bores/rings) and how you load the engine immediately after start up. The less blowby you have the less of a problem you will have with oil. There is a reason the fat old school cast iron rings Nissan put in the engines work better than the steel aftermarket ones.

    No I have +22's and without a lip roll and on r comp tyres (wider than road tyres for the same nominal width) they scrape. 16mm is an odd number - you sure it is correct?
  17. djr81
    Thanks for the offer but not what I was after.
  18. djr81
    You will almost certainly foul the rear guard lips with that offset but it depends a little on the tyre (not all 255 are the same width) and your ride height/spring rate/camber setting.

    You mean driveshaft? http://justjap.com/driveline/driveshafts-bearings/genuine-nissan-reconditioned-right-front-driveshaft-nissan-skyline-gtr-sold-exchanged.html
  20. djr81
    As above after soem standard R33 GTR lower control arms.
  21. djr81
    Yeah I have and will have the manual somewhere. I didnt do it as per the manual - I installed it under the rear parcel shelf but the wires you need to cut into are the same. They work fine.
  22. djr81
    Maybe but what they've got at the moment is being belted by Force it India. The low downforce/low drag advantage they used to have appears largely lost and they are nowhere with high downforce settings. Be interesting to see who they get to drive alonside Bottas next year.
  23. djr81
    Not the most exiting race - but Dan ran well so that was good. NFI what is going on at Williams. They need to find some speed and soon. Had also thought Palmer may have turned the corner after his last weekend and qualifying. But again he was outshone by his team mate. The Honda looked to have some horsepower, shame about the fuel consumption.

    Well done to Nico then. A day in the sun and at home too. Good luck to him. Never said Hamilton was the greatest driver (the greatest tool of this generation perhaps, other than, errr, Tool) just that he is quicker than Rosberg and that the tens of millions of dollars they pay Rosberg don't appear to be warranted. Sure they can afford it but even so.... Would still have my money on Hamilton for this years WDC, though.
  25. djr81
    Yeah the same one who has lost the wdc 2 years running and squandered a massive lead in this years which he gained on the back of his team mates bad luck/bad management/stupidity. The same one you saw sooking on the tv last weekend*. *Having said that he is now guaranteed to win at home this weekend.
