Guys, does any one know LokiR33? He's the only person that hasn't been in contact with me and im assuming he isn't aware that this group buy has been cut short so quickly (that's my fault I know) since he hasn't been online since the 30th of March. Maybe he's still on Easter holidays or something.

If any one knows him please let him know because I need his payment otherwise some one else can jump in with immediate payment and he can go into the next group buy or something.

I'm just waiting on a couple of payments to clear into my account but every one seems ok. If there is any problems I will contact you.

Thanks again for all the quick payments guys. I'll update you hopefully on Friday after I transfer the moeny.

Yes all payments were sucessful, i'm still waiting for one payment to clear into my account which was paid yesterday and Dori should be paying today. So all good guys :laugh:

Well hopefully I can transfer the money tomorrow. Not sure how long it takes for them to see the money in their account with it being an international money transfer. So lets say they get the money by Monday. They might take a day or so to get all the kits ready, not sure whether they have that many kits sitting on the shelf or whether they have to make them. I did however email them a few days ago with a "rough" list so they knew what to expect. So lets say they leave from England the end of next week, I should have them early to mid the following week. Then I will send them express post with a tracking number to everyone so I suppose give it two weeks worse case scenario.

We are going clear PVC tubing that way the natural stainless steel braided look is retained, I think this will look the best as opposed to colours.

Not so much prevent brake fade as improve braking response. That & you'll be getting rid of hoses that are now a minimum of 12 years old for 33's

Only way to cure brake fade is with bigger/better quality rotors, pads & fluid + improved airflow in extreme cases.

Yeah braking response and the feel and feedback from the pedal should be improved depending on how bad your factory ones are. I do a lot of fast driving on a mountain up here where you are heavily on the brakes every few seconds for around 7 minutes up and 7 minutes down so this should be interesting to see how they go for that.

The main thing is our rubber brake lines are old and weak with age causing them to expand. If all four brake lines are expanding this means the brake fluid isn't being used to its maximum effectiveness and means your brake pedal and master cylinder have to work more.

Since we are all changing our fluid with this upgrade and bleeding our brakes, the combined effect should be noticable. Hopefully :thumbsup:

damn i only just seen this group buy

i'd be keen for a set for my r34 if u do another one

do u have prices on clutch lines?

also how much brake fluid would u need for the change?

when someone gets their R34 GTT kit, can you please put up some pics.

i want to see if its the same as a R33 GTST one.

just a heads up, if the R33 GTST one does not fit my car, it will be for sale.

Just curious Phil, are they being shipped to us directly from the manufacture or are they going to you then being shipped out?

They are going to me and then I am express posting them out to everyone with a tracking number. This was the easiest and cheapest way.

If it doesn't fit your car, I will give you details from some one that has PM'd me wanting to be in the next group buy. Gaurantee you won't have a problem selling it.

That'd be me, I think that I'm the only R34GTT ordered--so will do :D

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
