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.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
