Hey Brendon - don't wanna hijack your thread with my woes.

Actually not that bad - just a minor leaky headgasket late last year, but gave me an "excuse" to drop out the motor and strip it down. One thing has led to another and now have.......new head, oversize valves, drag head gasket, smaller -5 terbs, smaller IC, Tomei manifolds, smaller Nismo plenum.

Am now a full on "response adict" lol. Gunna cost me top end (and prolly prevent me cracking the elusive 10s 1/4), but should give me a serious amount of mid range torque.

Trying to get everything back together for MV - maybe possible but will only have a "skid tune" at best lol

Looking forward to a big season of sprints, track and Targa events :P

Managed to pick up 'Best Engineered & Underbody' in the 'Late Model Performance' category at Motorvation #22 at the weekend. Considering this car show'ss mainly oriented to more Street Machines, Hot Rods and Muscle Cars, I was pretty happy that an import picked this one up.

Well thats cool, as I have a lot of parts off my S13 on the GTR. THough the GTR is in need of some attention now and since I ahve moved all my tools are in storage, it is time to let the baby out to a workshop me thinks, just need to find some one I trust now that I am living in Perth. It would also help if I could get my Aprilia back so I would have some wheels.

    • Just that it's smaller than the "best" choice out of the available options.
    • Never heard any declare the -9 as a waste of time 
    • BTW, level up linking and @-ing, thanks David I actually don't have much to add, except that I have seen electrical gauges "off the scale" due to some sort of mechanical issue that work properly again after freeing up....sounds like that might be what happened here...
    • Howdy all, A mate of mine picked up an R32 GTS-T recently and it had a very... colourful... gear knob that needed to be replaced immediately 🤣 I put together a replacement which is reminiscent of the Nismo offering, which I also really like both the feeling and design. I basically took what they did and optimising for 3D printing, with the exception of the top chamfer, where I prefer a filleted design, despite it not printing quite as clean. If anybody needs another thread size for the locker or if you prefer a top chamfer similar to the Nismo one, I'm happy to put something together for you and as a side note, I was really impressed by the TPU lock nuts. Originally I was going to use steel and then found out the ones I had on hand were sadly M10 1.5 pitch, rather than the required M10 1.25 pitch, so I had to get a bit creative rather than wait for the bolt shop to open. In the picture it looks a little bit 'rough' at the top due to the layering printing on a curve, but in reality it's not very noticeable at all and honestly feels pretty good in the hand. https://www.printables.com/model/910138-nissan-skyline-r32-gear-knob Regards, Sean
