very nice build... very well done.

2 things that might be worth a look would be on page http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...html&st=680 the air ram setup looks great maybe a little shallow but you are limited a little there. Very effective and something most average people don't consider.

But I wondered if a missed opportunity to direct some of the airflow over the 2 fuel rails and maybe a finned fuel rail to get more fuel cooling. The other is the strut brace... you would be surprised how much it would be flexing. a Straight one over the ram tubes will fit and work much better.

i see where your coming from, all the points you make are valid, i just didnt have the room. the strut brace is designed to run this way but around the back, but the engine sits so far back that it was easier around the front. the fuel rails sit 5mm under the bonnett so couldnt go over with the brace. you can with factory manifold. wasnt concerned with fuel temp as e85 is cold and it chews it, and some airflow will reach them.

went through a little stage of depression. but decided to keep it for now.

engine is back in car with new sump fitted and all is good.

have organised a lsd shim kit off baron so should have that in and ready within the next week,

just need to swap on some tyres then ready too go.

unsure why I missed it....but why is this for sale on my105 stu!?!?!?!?!

Can we redo the exhaust, and take it to texi? 3Rd gear off the mark frying tyres?

How would we go with a pair of "butt" plugs in the exhaust to just take the edge of the exhaust note and give it a run at texi?

I have an old pair of 245 semi's on a set of SSR's that you could fry for the day if you like...

yeh im keen to have a go, maybe some steel wool will do the job.

sounds just like mine lol.

pulled the diff centre out last week, pulled the centre apart only to find it was assembled differently to the nismo expoded view pics.

found workshop manual which then showed it was correct, so figured the nismo kit went together differently so re-assembled it as per the nismo instructions. (all in japanese mind you.)

feels alot tighter on the bench, but ill see how it feels on the track. i tried to find some thicker pre-load shims but they dont do them for the gtr centre, only the gtst. even tried slipping an extra clutch disk in but wouldnt fit.

put a good pair of second hand yokohamas on the front, will chenge the rears after a few skids on the weekend.

also going to wire a reverse lockout button in as im a little cautious when hitting 5th gear as reverse gear is along side it.

it has a lockout solenoid from factory, but only locks out reverse with ignition off. so wiring a momentary switch in so i have to press button to select reverse when ignition is on, otherwise reverse is locked out at all times.

Stu...stop messing about with the pansy 346 cuber

and get

This

    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
    • This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
