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.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
