What does it matter if it fades peeps? Not like you can't respray a car. And it's just a Skyline, it's not like he's taken to a 996 with a permanent marker. Props for making art out of an aging car. T

If duct tape is wrapped around something like a pole or support beam then it won't let go, provided there are enough strips of it to support the weight...it's only when you tape someone to a wall that

What were you talking to him about? Him possibly doing some work on the 33?

Alright, so here's what I managed to do today.

I put a caliper on my wife while she was sleeping.

I made some new rims.

I took off one of the stock brake assemblies to test fit the new ones. I bent the dust plate out of the way, but I'll trim it down when final install happens.

Test fit to make sure the brackets are the correct ones with the kit. It was shipped with a 350Z installation guide, which worried me.

That's all for now, will have installed within the week I reckon. Still trying to figure out how I can never go to work ever again.

whats the go with Nakai-San possibly working on the 'line?

The long answer was that it would be a MINIMUM of 6 months turnaround, and the short answer was "buy a porsche" haha. I can't give the car up for over 6 months right now. He said that he would love to do it though!

hahahaha. Maybe you should look into a 964 to have him work on.

HEY, That is my real name, given at birth. f*kushima really does suck.. I missed out on Skyline week because I am just not going to drive through there. F that. I know people that go down to f*kushima and race at Ebisu Circuit.. i just scratched it off my list completely.

post up the link!! It's not wearing out except on the top.. I never cleared the top because I always meant to add color first.. the sun has faded it some, but without any UV protection in the markers, it has been holding up amazingly well. I like the "Collen" thing.. It's my real name!?? !

+1 we need an update man.

Here is the update. Just bought some TE37 FZero Blues in 18x10.5 +15 as well as some Hankook 285/35/18s all the way around. Currently the car has been transformed into a factory stock R33 for out 2 year "JCI" or Shaken process.. I decided to keep it road registered as long as I could.! Pics to follow when I get the rims in the mail.

YAY! he's back! good to hear from you, try not to leave us for so long again.

Sorry lost the link to the guy who's stationed at your base.

Love the wheels, are still planning to turn this into a dedicated track car?

      Shift Performance Ganador Reps

      By Lmic · Posted

      Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
