Intro - Vtec Yo! Picture Already Attached


Recommended Posts

just a quick one with the dc5 you cant really do much to the suspension because of the way they designed the car and how it all works and travels, if you lower them it messes everything up nd make it worse on the track! might look fully sic but isnt. i would do some reading into it.

i would spend money on decent rubber

cat back exhaust (still can be used in the future if charged)

slotted rotors and decent pads

anyhow welcome

honda do get the chassis/handling very good out of the box.

I've driven a modified dc2 type r, it had basic mods, exhaust, clutch, intake, and coilovers.

the improved hp was fantastic, the clutch and coilovers were terrible, i'd consider them downgrades.

I drive a bone standard dc2 type r frequently (one in the family) and as a standard car the handling is fantastic, they are VERY flat and neutral through corners, and throw all of the usual fwd characteristics out the window.

I can't really comment on the dc5, the addition of good rubber and a few extra hp will benefit most cars.

Thanks for all the advice and welcomes guys.

Heres a bad picture of my car after a late night car wash from an iPhone.

Anyways, CAI, coilovers and some advanti wheels are in. Didn't really want to spend $3K on a set of JDM wheels to reduce unsprung weight atm, have plenty of more BFYB mods to do for that sorta money.

Next mods will be front and rear sways from either cusco or whiteline, followed by probably nolathane bushes all round. I took the car to King Lake and Mt Dandy on the weekend and found that the car had significant body roll, so hopefully those mods + lowering a bit more should help.

She's also very nose heavy compared to a Civic/Clio sport or even WRX and brakes are another weak point. Already looking for a set of brembos off a JDM DC5R to address that...

Anyhow feel free to comment hope to see u all at a track day soon.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
