they are all piking it! i dont think anyone even took videos, the bums lol.

i might give the rwd turbo title a crack.. i could have easily been a lot faster than i was. esp in the final lol i stuffed up terribly

just had a new plenum to go in, spent 3-4 nights removing the stock one and doing a major service etc., made up some intercooler piping for it, then found that while it is for an rb25, i need a different air regulator (located under the stock plenum, attatched to the water rail) and also one of the threads for the aac was completely stripped so i couldn't have torqued it down on that gasket, i have to bore out the hole on the aac and then fit a larger bolt and retap the hole on the plenum to suit... too many things.

so i spent about 7-8hrs today in the rain putting everything back in just how it was, with new gaskets etc. all i have to show for about 15-20hrs work is a gtr thermostat housing and new coolant.

I know its an old thread but I have been OS for the past few weeks so I missed much of the chat. When I got back a guy from the Autospot forum had sent me this:

It's some of my runs for the day and messing around on the skid pan. Most of the day I just had fun and threw the car around. On the last slalom of the day I took it a bot more seriously. Check out the handbrake turn at about 8:40 of the clip.

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
