the mod plate covers the 2 seater mod, roll cage, turbo, induction, suspension and pretty much everything else. Its registered as a 2 seater as well. The only dramas with it atm are the screamer pipe, ride height, exhaust volume and BOV... although its a quiet bov so you dont really notice it unless your really giving it a bootfull. I have a silencer that plugs into the back of the exhaust that apparently brings it down to a slightly less noticeable ~90db but i need to get a clamp of some sort to hold it in there. will sort that out over the next week. screamer pipe being plummed back in a fortnight or so, and getting it raised 15-20mm at the same time.

Pretty keen on making it legal, aren't you.

Rasing the height IMHO will wreck the tough as stance it has. Looks shmicko in the pics, I'd leave it at the current height...

sick car, i like it alot, just not sure how they could roady it without steering wheel, but who really cares, aslong as u can drive it without being hassled then woohoo!

I got a RWC on my quick R32 which looked far worse then his car.

No trim, cage, no cat, open screamer, jap belts dodgy tires no mod plates.

But it will make it handle properly. Going too low severely compromises the suspension geometry on Skylines.

Completely agree, plus I know this dilemma all too well. However, I personally way up how much time a car is spent on the street and how much time it’s spent on the track and in most case’s it’s on the street more often… Thus looks win. Explains why the Porsche is 40mm and not 100mm+ :domokun:

Truer words were never spoken.

Most people work on 'lower centre of gravity = better handling' ....this is true in some cases but only to an extent. Once you go past a certain point, the geometry changes in a negative way.

front lip is currently 90mm off the ground.. which is probably fine for handling.. i doubt raising it to 105 (15mm / 1.5cm) will change either looks or performance much.. but it will keep the popo happy. im going to plum back the screamer pipe which will have no effect on performance whatsoever.. as far as quietening the exhaust.. I have a removable silencer with an inner width of 2".. apparently fitting that takes the noise down to around 90db.. loses a lot of power, but fine for putting around on the streets, and takes 20 seconds to install/remove.

The tire to wheel arch gap will be an extra 1.5cm, and you'll be land cruiser spec :banana:

But with a past Lexus at 10mm and a 911 at 40mm, clearly I shouldn't be commenting on this matter as I'm a touch insane/stupid.

Get a datsun.

210 fly wheel hp i swear to god will bore me, an thats on a "built" L20 motor :laughing-smiley-014:

How angry is that. I ask my self why....

thats pretty ordinary

buy my R33 in 2 months

I really want a club car.. But your price is right for a daily driver which I would need if i bought a club car anyway. Just a matter of what comes first. The chicken or the egg.

I'll take teh 2 months to think it over :banana:

Josh, this is a GTR mate.... not a lame old Porka :D

Actually the 911 (997) Carrera S Cabriolet is the nicest of the P1 cars I have driven. The closest in all around competence to the GTR but a tad underpowered and not enough rear seat room.

Looking forward to seeing this beast Gervase. I'm only running 320rwkw @14psi atm but soon to get off my ass, install the fuel system and Autospeed EBC and shoot for over 400rwkw. I find it just doesn't respond enough.

It’s not that old.. It’s a 1990, although the technology in it is still 30 years old lol. Water-cooled one's are the devil… Can you tell what part of the Porsche car club band camp I come from :D

They are more of a driver’s car IMHO, takes a whole lot more to control one, I find GTR’s boring, predictable, unexciting and an easier car to drive, plus I hate 4wd/awd… But I am narrow minded and don’t like all this technology, atleast I can admit it haha. Admittedly I’ve never driven a GTR like old mates one he just bought, but driving a 600rwhp S13 for a few years makes me a bit rwd bias I guess

There is no doubting that the GTR is the better, more advanced car (compared to early Porsches) and will win every time against "most" of the earlier 911’s. Although, we had a genuine RUF a little while ago, that would, could and still would (if it were still around) dust most mild GTR’s.

But that’s kinda comparing different leagues and not really relevant.

Yall own Nissan Pulsars ;) All this from me hating tire to wheel arch gap :spank:

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
