got my shit back from ceramic coating.... looks the bomb! should work really well!

they used to offer two colours... silver or black with black being rated higher temps... they now have changed it to both colours being rathed the same high temps so naturally i went the silver option because it looks cooler :blink:

UPDATE

Got rear susp bushes and arms all installed.. getting alignment tomorrow. Noticed that on the hoist that my front left tie rod was unthreading out the rack... wtf.. nigles offset spacer had come undone even tho its loktited and done up fkn tight in there... bloody lucky i caught it in time!

got retune today... turns out straight on the rollers i was making 240 rwkw for G1's level of tune.... errrr shit! prob due to timing being out by 6 degrees due to removal and reinstallation of CAS even tho i marked it and put it back in the same spot... weird.

anyway so ran it up. jeff did some fine tuning and sorted out some area's which i wanted improved and we picked up a shit load more torque and lowdown power. total power was 310 rwkw on 17 psi... safe as houses with a 12:1 AFR.

goes goddamn hard now... so much better then the previous times i have driven it so should be a decent weapon soon once everything is sorted!

STILL HAVE NO BRAKES GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

all in all it fits really well... took me 5-6 attempts to get the subframe up onto the studs evenly as it would catch and then not go evenly. the holes in the bushes are 20.5mm and the studs are 20mm so the extra was to allow for slightly offset studs etc. Bushes were machined so they wack in with a block of wood and hammer.. can come out easy enough if need be. If you lok at the pics you'll see some parts come bloody close to fouling but yeah it all seems to clear pretty well

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
