thanx guys..

Nice,  

Wanna help me do mine? And have you got any pics of the outside?

How many beers is it worth? :P its not that difficult but it takes a bit of time and effort. Cost is negligible which is the best part ;) Outside? :embarassed:, it kind of needs the door repainted and a couple of other things. A few months ago it was looking really nice.

What did you use to get both side of the rocker covers silver and shiny?

The rocker covers (and same for the throttle intake) were taken off, sanded, and polished, sanded and polished, etc until they come up all shiny. There is a thread somewhere on it. Painting is the easy part. I'd do the plenum as well, but the work involved.. mb one day.

Looks quite nice Predator, infact you did it the same colour as what i did to mine about 6mths ago when i was bored 1 sunday afternoon. Believe it or not I even bought some more paint today so i could spray some more parts tomorrow night.

I bought maroon (as close to the factory Wine Red colour as I could get) to spray the rocker covers and black to spray any visible suspensiion or underbody parts. So much fun can be had with $25 worth of spray paint hehe

Heres the pics that I took of mine ages ago:

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
