Thanks Ant,

Looks good apart from all the fumey smoke coming out of siberia coming from my car. Had no idea it was that bad.

Might need to confirm with he who shall be obeyed that I haven't broken something.

I cracked my front right rotor so will need a new set before the 29/3 WRX event.

Regards

Ant, im going to start calling you "The Wheel Man" Nice work

Ahahaha...well that has a nicer ring to it than the names I normally get called :D

Well I did buy one that used to get clamped to the headrest mount of the passenger seat of my gtst....unfor the same isn't available in the GTR so I made one out of ali box tube that bolts to the baby seat mounts on the parcel shelf. Wasn't too bad but a little refinement should reduce the shakes a bit. Nah had it on for scrutineering but this was a piarc day so they didn't look too hard!

Thanks Ant,

No probs mate :D Yeah there was a fair bit of smoke....my car used to do the same when I had the exxon valdez tune and no catch can...since both have been attended to it seems much cleaner. Bugger about the rotor...they looked fine on the day but with the dust filling the cracks it was hard to tell.....still can't get over how loud they 'cracked' when cooling down!

Nice, thanks for the info..using a baby seat mount is a sound idea..ive got one but it uses suction cups which I don't think they'd like..

Hahaha probably not if its the only method of attachment. The latest CAMS manual (online) now has a camera mounting section and club days now have the option of secifiying that in their regs or not. I think as long as it is safe and secure they won't have a prob. Not only is mine held in place by the two hefty baby seat bolts but I strap the camera to a secure part of the mount using some coated braided steel cable.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
