looks stragiht and clean man, congrats!

bit Rancho spec tho, needs slamming

haha yeh im gunna dump her at some point :laugh:

gotta get the guards rolled first, it already scrapes at the back whgen i go over a bump at speed :S

Heres some interior/engine pics

can see the door handles need to be painted.

need to get stereo in and off my bedroom floor

air con vents need replaceing, no biggie, going round scrappies next week.

left over tinting needs to be scraped off

had some floor mats in there but i took em out as they were ugly plush grey skyline mats :S (wts :laugh:)

steering wheels for sale as soon as my brand new MOMO jet comes from japan.

new gear/brake boots will be ordered as soon as seller gets back to me :D

im gunna move the turbo timer to beneath the stereo, it keeps falling down (any ideas to make it stick ?)

also need to grab a lighter lol, dont smoke, but it looks daft without it :S

engine bay doesnt look great but once i get oil catch can in, a new aluminium radiator ovwerflow, heat shield for pod and a good degreasing, that should clean it up until i can afford to replace all the lines and get some stuff painted/podered

also i was under the impression that 89 - 90 R32's had blue guage cluster, does that mean sum1 has swapped them round in my car ?

haha yeh im gunna dump her at some point :)

Really!, you sure its the guards and not the exhaust?

Could even be your rear suspension setup is too soft and lower = stiffer, that will fix you up shmickington steel :D.....Now that I read it back, it sounds unright! :laugh:

good stuff, cheers for comment :(

NEW PICS ! :(

one of car on street, second is my mate taking photo of paint haha, excuse quality, camera phone, plus dirty black paint :( the nnother car pic. (needs a wash :S )

very nice car, and what do you guys mean by getting your guards rolled ?

if you run your hand around the underside of your wheel arch, at the body line, you will feel that the sheet metal turns 90 degrees and follows the curve, sticks out (in) about an inch.

edit: and thanks ! :D

got some of my new bits on. my dad is bringing home brackets for my catch can today aswell, but im still not 100% how to plumb it to an RB20 haha ( any help there ? ) pic of gear knob does it no justice, thats not dust in the "NISMO" bit, just light reflecting back and forth. ill have to get in back seat and get a pic in focus so you can see how nice it actually is. will wait for my new boots to come though. (gear shifter and handbrake boots :) ) steering wheel is mint, im soo happy with it :D and of course the radiator cap, im pretty sure the box says it adds about 3rwkw, but its japanese so i cant be sure :)

will get pics of engine bay once my catch can is mounted and plumbed and ive painted and put back my strut bar. i ordered ne wpassenger side air vent today too, interior will look nice once thats here and i put my head unit in. then off to the trimmers :)

cheers sam

yeh will do mate, cheers for comment :)

nice deck bro :(

haha gimme time man :P

i got an alpine 9855R sitting in my room right next to me :)

just gotta pick up some front splits and get it installed.

I've got my old GT-R front/rear brakes (non-Brembo) and factory rims available if you're interested. Not really trying to sell, but a cheap upgrade for you none the less. Drop me a PM if you're keen.

Nice ride BTW - like the 32s in black (although I'm somewhat biased :mellow: )

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
