awesome job chad.

gives me a better idea of where t o plumb the oil lines for mine.

what did u use to fab the brackets from, and where is the top of the bracket mounted that u used for the left side?

I used some 3mm alloy i cut up at work. Here's a better pic to show you where it is mounted

On Sunday the 8/2/09 I took my car to Mallala Motor Sport Park and competed in Modern Regularity. I finished near the bottom of the list but i was only really there to post some timed hot laps. I did a fastest lap of 1.21.77 running 1.1bar which is about 4 seconds faster than the last time i went out on a practice day, so i was pretty stoked.

Thanks Guys :(

The next thing i want to do is get adjustable sway bars to reduce body roll then get some adjustable camber arms. Also thinking about maybe going E85 at some stage.

nice car....nice job

but to be honest, i think your old gold rims look way better than the R34 GT-R rims for sure..........

it looks a bit too......i donno how to explain.....it just doesnt seem to match with it

but thats just my opinion

chad i love your car...

my car loves your car too seeing as its also a GTS4 it looks up to yours haha

when ever you wanna get rid of some rims you let me know :D

awsome work dude

I finally got around to fitting a vent behind my oil cooler. I got hold a a left hand inner guard from R33 and cut out the vent and pop riveted it into the my right hand front inner guard. It came up pretty good in the end. :)

Very tidy.

What sized cooler did you go with? 130mm?

Handles oil temps fine at Mallala?

Its 300x150x50

Not really sure how well it handles the oil temps as i dont have an oil temp gauge yet.

Well i entered my first Motorkhana on Sunday, it was a come and try day the the Porsche car club. Took a bit to get use to the slippery surface but had it sorted by the end of the day.

This was in 4WD, it was a bit hard to get use to as the car would change direction very quickly when the front wheels started pulling.

This was my last run of the day so i thought i'd give it a go in RWD :blink:

Nice car mate, what work was required to fit the r34 gtr rims? They are genuine arent they? Also what tyres are you running

cheers :O

Thanks, and yes they are genuine 34GTR rims. Just had the guards rolled and I'm running 235's with no rubbing at all.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
