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.

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...

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

      Returning after a long time!

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
