I've already put a wanted to buy up for rear brembo's, i think the plan will be put them on with the entire rear cradle along with front ones and try and find wheels after the fact, because the 32gtr 16inch one will be useless.

The 450 would be lighter then the previous motor yeah? It's an alloy block right?

Either way, the GTR is a more nose heavy car then a 180 or GTS-t ever will be. It's got the extra diff, transfer case and assorted bits up front...

it's actually about 20kg heavier than the CA18DET that was in it.

but a standard 180 is pretty limited on Tyre width up front because of the the narrow guards and factory offset. I'm pretty much limited to 8 inch wide unless i pump the front fenders.

which is why S13's have so many widebody front fenders available for them. I can fit 10inch wide rims on the back the moment after extensively rolling the rear guards with a 2 inch metal pole.

It's true test will come at the texi. we'll see if it turns then.....all else fails, clutch kick!

It's still going to have a better weight bias then a GTR though...

Tyre limitations is another thing though, but I'd definitely be putting rear brembos on, other wise you're WAYYYY over braking the front compared to the rear.

gotta find rear brembo's first. problem is that i hate the fibreglass wide guards everyone has out for 180sx's, I used to have a set on it and I hated them. I'll get a second pair of fenders and weld in another inch of metal at the inside edge, that way I'll still have stock looking guards.

clutch is buggered, sticks on the floor and is either on or off pedal feels like it binding. pretty much impossible to drive. hope the actually clutch face and pressure plate are fine other wise I've paid $2500 for a clutch that only lasted two months. VERY PISSED OFF!:angry:

still have find out what caused it, hopefully the custom bell housing was aligned properly.

Bellhousing isn't aligned I'm guessing. Probably needs a lazer alignment down the center.

Not my fault!! :ninja: Good job in removing the box yourself too!!! I didn't have to do it for a change!! :laugh:

it's laser, s not z as in Light Amplified Stimulated Emission of Radiation. but yeah my guess is needs alignment, and hopefully the clutch is still OK

looks like the gearbox is out of alignment, the fingers on the pressure plate have an ellipse shaped wear mark. the bearing is the same and the snout has wear markings on the top of it that has resulted in a slight lip which explains the change in clutch feel lately as the lip got worse so did the clutch. this tells me that the gearbox is positioned slightly too high compared to the engine. MRC are going to swap my bell housing and adapter plate for new ones that have been made at a different engineering firm. the clutch itself looks alright. not as bad as I originally thought.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
