Well I just picked the car up from Mick @ Micolour who has finished fitting the new Z Tune kit and spraying the whole car.

It's come up brilliantly (pics don't do it justice - will have to get some better ones later but it's too hot out there right now). But I'm wrapped with how it's turned out :D

Looks really good :)

why didnt u get the front bar too finish it off?

The gaps in the side of the Nismo bar make the oil cooler less effective. Hence why we stuck to the standard front bar. (It is a race car afterall).

Well actually...who knows but articles i have read say that the slots will make the cooler more effective, hence why cars like Z-Tune etc have them. The side of the bar is a low pressure area meaning that if the oil cooler is ducted to the side of the bar where the opening is the vent will actually help draw air through the oil cooler core.

Ducting the oil cooler to the inner guard well , thats actually a high pressure area so you dont get great flow through the oil cooler when downstream of the cooler is a high pressure area. I have also read that ducting coolers there can lead to increase brake temperatures but even me the classic "i have no practical experience...i only nose what i nose from reading articles" thinks its a stretch to think that airflow from an oil cooler to the inner guard is going to affect temperatures and brake performance.

And, finally...I wish i had a big penis, was personally rich, good looks and any girl from the 2009 Raph Calender.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
