ps im soo hungover - my head is killing me :D

good to see ur car will be back soon tas. tacio bad luck man, shit happens with such old cars.

my update.

saturday - had to work :P , welder had a family emergency so no go on the guards being installed today, however he test fitted on thursday and they were amazingly good considering he made them remotely.

sunday - got back from driving mrs. / family to the airport. had a go mounting up hydro / dual handbrake setup, looking how best to fit. Had to cut allot out of the centre glove box. Unpicked the handbrake mount off the halfcut, going to weld in so both handbrakes bolt in :) and fitted my water temp sensor, catch can, oil cooler adaptor and afm/bov to motor. Cycled some oil through her as she will be sitting for a bit. Notice in pic i f**ked off the rb25 oil cooler/filter and fitted a rb20 filter adaptor, so could bypass the coolent lines. Now oil soely cooled by my mamoth oil cooler.

dave and tristan, show us a photo of the oil cooler? i found a whole bunch of trust/ greddy ones.. they vary between 16 and 19 rows but are shit expensive.. thus could go same choice as youj guys..

dave, nice work buddy, its just looking better and better each day!

on wednesday, taking my new front bumper to mates workshop to get it fitted and then get a final quote on the paint job.. fingers crossed

The advantage of the TRUST ones is that they have a thermostat, which allows the oil to get up to temp faster so you are not driving round with cold oil all the time.

I am not sure if those coolers dave and tristan got have a thermostat or not but I am guessing not. And they probably need one, they are f***ing huge

oil coolers don't have thermostats, as I can see. unless its built into the core. Depending on placement of the cooler can assist with temperature. I removed my rb25 standard cooler to also prevent to much cooling. There just your basic justjap jobs. You either pay through the ass for a jap branded cooler or just go mediocre with a generic / Chinese brand and use the brain more and sort problems out urself. September is close approaching... i would of had it in paint by now if the guards had been done 1month ago like they should have. Ignore the temp mounts / pen marks everywhere, took a while to position it all right.

Got home from work today, first unpicked and sanded back the handbrake mounts. And had a play mounting the dual setup.

Major photos:

    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm. 
    • All jokes aside, OP they're just called R32 oem rims as you said. The Nissan engineers back in the late 80's loosely copied the design from the Koya Driftek which was designed and produced about 18 years later.
