had drift prac last night...borrowed one of pauls coilovers, cheers mate!, so was running different coils left and right lol, car felt amazing with the new diff/ratio + 17 inch tyres... had heaps of grip and speed. was brilliant to drive! had a few close tandems and near misses. however dec's in the Garage 7 missle was chasing me on one lap and rubbed thro brake lines and tagged me in the rear 1/4... keep going cause it didnt seem so bad. then in another session i was chasing him down and then he looped suddenly on turn 2 and i had no where to go and we collided.. in the same panel! only a tad worse now lol :(

not a fan of the flairs on the front. are you able to get wider fiberglass s14-180 front guards?

and are you going to go back to 18s on the back or cant you get that style of rims in size for realistic $$$$

these are the ONLY guards you can get.. and they are suppose to be 20mm wider but i think they are stock. had no choice but to run the flares and gut the guards away to give me the clearance i needed. im not entirly sold on them myself but i think once painted they should be sweet.

i still have my VS-XX's in 18's and i will be rotating between two pairs of 17's and one pair of 18's. the 17's actually gave me MORE grip so its defo not a step backwards... plus tyres are cheaper :D

forklift mechanic... i dont make much.

i do a lot of work after hours on peoples cars which helps. im a mechanic by trade, along with auto elec.

all work is done my byself or with the help of good mates which makes all the difference.

yeah gonna go GTX i think!

Mongrel :nyaanyaa:

I have been looking at them thinking I WANT ONE, but then i just gotta get mine running.... Are they a direct swap? I imagine all the lines etc remain the same?

yeah direct swap mate. the CHRA is the same, the wheels and front housing is different thats all.

If you run the same rear size can you do a back to back comparison????? :yes:

There are plenty of comparisons on US cars etc.... But none for our sort of beasts....

I'd be really keen to see the improvements in spool, power, torque etc...

Man great work !

So is your RB un-opened? with that massive power? how does your 3rd gear pull when drifting or kicking the clutch?

sometimes when i kick it out in 3rd gear it dies down unless im not giving it hard enough? cheers man.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
