Ahhh the age old christmas strip down of drift cars. in tassie less than half usualy return once they are stripped down for "a bit of a tidy up"

im more than confident that yours will be back better than ever soon enough.

yeah motivation becomes a killer once you got a car that is completly stripped down haha.

a few beers a few blokes and a hand full of tools can make a mess of a car in a night but beers dont help when its going back together.

Update!

Picked up my car from Garage 7 after getting dec's and the team to do a fuel system in the car to suit E85 and with zero possibilities of issues and this is what it came back with.. twin 044's surge tank. twin feed and hard lines all the way in one piece and bent in all the right places to the engine bay. the Stock fuel rail was modified with two inlet fittings welded on and a single middle return with an Adjustable FPR.

very high quality and pro job... cannot fault it.. only messy looking thing about it is my wiring which i did haha.

Also got AM Performance to modify my cooler piping to suit my new cooler positioning.. pipe work is much shorter now and everythings safer. I was hoping to run AU thermo's but it looks like there will be ZERO room :(

anyway here's the pics :D

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm i love solid fuel lines. theres somthing very cool about them.

you may not notice especialy running e85 but in the past we have found heat soak and cooling issues running a cooler so close to the radiator. everyone seems to be doing it in drifting circles but im wondering if you will have problems. time will soon turn

think i'll try my best to insulate the two cores to minimise the amoutn transferred between the two metals touching. apart from that we'll see how it goes... i have a air duct out of alloy yet to be made yet which should help!

Just got mine retuned.. stock un opened Neo RB25det. 3076, E85 and twin 044's, 80lb deka injectors, nistune and z32.. about to run out of scale on the afm map too.

result was 397.2 rwkw on 19 psi.

drift prac run and done... tested the car with its new found power and its pretty amazing to drive! thanks massivly to Decs from Garage 7 for the tune and fuel system work... everything is so awesome now!

tested two different tyres for SA Motorsports tyres, one being a Kenda KR20 and the other a hercules. so was a little off the pace normally as we we're mucking around with pressures and temps. the Kenda's are great tho.. last ages and decent grip. however i found with the power i have now i need something more otherwise im just left feathering thre throttle trying to gri and get forward speed while slower cars can keep it pinned and pull away.

never the less i had a ball and heres some vids.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • 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.
