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.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
