They are carbon fibre ducts made by Border Racing Japan. I painted them matt black as they had heaps of stone chips.

They are functional in the way that my HKS oil cooler sits behind the passenger side duct, I've also cut a square hole out of the guard liner so the air comes in through the duct, passes through the oil cooler and out the back through the hole in the guard liner. Made a heap of difference to oil temps on the track.

Well spotted, been to heaps of WRX days, one of the more organised clubs in regards to the way they run their days. Got 1st place overall in the Skyline class back in 2007.

Enough of the bragging... :)

No ducting to the intercooler or radiator, doesn't seem to need it. Although a little ducting wouldn't hurt...

That 40th Anniversary looked a lot like mine when I first got it. A lot has changed :)

I think there is even a 40th ann. thread going on somewhere too.

Yeah i love what you've done with yours.

I REALLY want to get some 34GTR wheels for mine i think they look the sex!

Gonna get GTR wing, skirts and front bumper for mine sometime this year.

Not because i wanto fool people into thinking its a GTR just because i love the look and cant afford a GTR at the mo.

No GTR poser badges as that's just an insult and not fair on the people that have actually forked out for one. :P

Brockas - Noticed you have Alcons aswell, which model/size are they???

Hey mate, they are billet Alcon XF calipers off NASCAR cars a few years back.

They lock a tyre at 140km/h.

I'm actually looking to downgrade, they are almost too powerful for my limited driving skill!

Really? Sh!t it came with the car but it was dirty as so i just forked out $80 getting a new blanket for it.

Like is it actually bad for the car or does the apexi just filter a little bit better? if its ALOT better then ill buy one next pay lol

I had an apexi on my old 34 gtt and really liked it but yeh this came with the car.

if its not a biggie then ill wait an just get my zorst and front mount and change the filter to an apexi later when this one gets dirty.

It's fine. The only downside is the foam ones start disintegrating with age and wear and little bits of foam end up going into the airflow metre/turbo. However if it is brand new it'll be fine for quite a long time, the HKS ones are decent enough.

Nice work, are they the endurance caliper? Do they take a 36mm thick rotor and 30 mm thick pads?

Do you still run ABS? I can get mine to lock up for a tenth of a second before ABS kicks in and does its thing. Thats running RE55s tyres...

Like the pic in your sig, looks familiar....

    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
