Hi all,

I do heaps of mountain runs and long drives - which means lots of constant higher revs, all seasons of the year - summer the most concerning.

The obvious things that come to mind are premium fluids, engine oil cooler and auto trans cooler.

Is there anything else I'm missing/need or upgraded?

I'm running a pretty stock rb25de n/a r34 auto with very minor mods - extractors, high flow cat and air filter - I do not intend on doing any more performance mods - I just want to be able to run the at its peak for longer periods of time without (or at least lessen) the risk of breaking things.

Cheers

honestly, i dont think theres anything to worry about

N/A are actually more reliable than Turbo cars

im sure your car will cope just fine......

premium fluids are just the name.... These 0W - 30W oils.... its not worth the $95 for oil thats going to be replaced shortly

You might want to also think about upgrading your brakes, tyres, suspension and strut braces, if not done already...

Use top quality engine oil and coolant fluids and do regular 5000kms if not 3000kms oil and oil filter changes.

Also after your spirited run up and down the hills you might just want to let the car sit and idle for a minute or two (A bit like cool down time for turbo(s).

Not necessary but does not hurt to do it.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
