Wow that's interesting, thanks.

You're saying LC2 is just powerbraking, are you sure? (sounds like it!)

Yep, It's friction loading of the wet clutch which produces a similar result to power braking a conventional auto.

As for all this talk about the bores, I dont think it will turn out to be an issue. Besides you cannot simply "re-coat" them. The machines that apply the coating require the motor to be placed on a special jig (i.e. removed from the car). On top of this you would need to remove all the block peripherals as a sucessfull coat requires the entire block to be pre-heated. All of this needs to happen in a clean room to prevent imperfections etc.

Considering the cost of the setup and it's complexity I sincerely doubt dealerships would have this capability or that Nissan planned for the bore lining to be replaced.

If anything should happen and they do fail (perhaps due to aftermarket tuning etc.) Darton sleeves might end up being a better replacement option. I think the Haltech guys were looking at following this path.

from what i know about this coating.....I have a feeling that its the same as what they use on motorcycles....its quite tough....but we have taken apart a number of bikes with long klms (i say long klms as 100,000klms plus on a sportsbike is considered quite high)and guess what....there usually shagged

True, but the GTR's engine doesn't rev to 16000 rpm like a motorbike's engine....

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
