Got pretty much everything sorted on my car now, pretty happy with how its turned out, just have to mount the catch can tomorrow/whenever and wire up the horns

Have a strange problem with my power steering but, Sometimes it will start and work normal, sometimes it will start and the steering will be heavy. Today I started it 4 times, and only 1 time it was heavy. Nothing has really changed in the power steering side since before the engine change.... Must be Hicas related I'd think, even though my Hicas is removed and has been fine for ages

Might need a longer 3" - 2.5" reducer but

Sounds like awesome to.

What I do need but is a 2.5" - 3" straight reducer thats a bit longer then the one I've got. If anyone knows who makes a longer one then the usual 3" long then let me know. Mines just a bit to short and its causing that cooler pipe skew a bit which is putting a couple of other things out of wack

Or if anyone has a longer one (especially in black) that you want to sell me then that will work to :)

theres a couple of little things to clean up that bug me. Using a flash on the engine bay makes all those little things show up lol. Look at it in daylight and it looks better :)

Its all cosmetic (apart from connecting the wastegate vac lines up) stuff to do now, so it can wait till I feel like doing it

saw a white R34 come past work today, had a sunroof black wheels and a realllly different bodykit. It looked and sounded like a GTR, snapped my neck to try and get a look at the boot and didn't see a badge so it must have been a heavily modded R34 GT-T. First time i've seen it. Anyone know anything about it? Sounded nice and looked pretty good but the front bumper was a bit ehhh..

i just saw it again the other day Cal, definitely a GT-T. First time i saw it it was from a bit of a distance, but y/day it drove straight passed me and it is 100% not a GTR..

Yeah the front bar looks a bit standard but i think it had something different about it, either way it didn't really tickle my fancy.

Yeah thats the one I was thinking of. Pretty sure Chris bought it off you Ben? but it has been sold again since then. If so I think it had a GTX3071 and some tasteful mods.

Nice car.

IF its the same one lol

Did it look something like this Sean?

This is my old GT-T i sold it ages ago i think it is still in Mackay.

Nah wasn't this one man, but i have seen this car around it sounds really nice. And looks great for a GTT!

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
