Just found my v35 rims sitting on the doorstep in plain view of the who street, good one stupid courier driver.

just test fitted them and for some reason i dont think i will need spacers on the rear which makes no sense because my 17 x 8 35 offset would not

fit but the 18 x 8 30 offset does ?????????? its only 5mm difference mind you i havent put any rubber on them yet but only been 235 they wont over hang so we will have to

wait and see what happens.

And the the rims arn't in as good condition as i thought they would be, so i might have to give them a cut and polish or re painted.

they look bloody tough and i cant wait to get every thing sorted.

nope

Can you get that stuff in gold....that way it will go with the yellow and you wont see it :happy:

gold would actualy be better because its better at reflecting heat than silver (hence why a mclaren has a gold lined engine bay)

like i said, it doesn't look fancy but you can feel the difference in temperature inside the foam to outside and also quetens down the spool noise a bit too

Got my car back, nice and fixed :P

Also just put a deposit on one of the last 24U blocks made: brand new, and still wrapped: let the engine build begin!!

not going Rb30. . . . disappointed Micah

There is a nice RRR rb26 block on yahoo. . . big $$ thuo

RB26 is what my old man had in the car: RB26 is how I have to keep it - if not for sentimentality, I'd be looking at 3L immediately. With correctly matched turbo and better management, I'm confident it will be what I want it to... Besides, I got the N1 block for a steal!

If you want to keeps yours on the road, I will have a spare rb26 head to sell soon.

N1 block should be sweet. What turbos you going to run?

I just spent 2.5 days polishing mine. Far out, these cars are waaaay too big to polish. Looks great now. Ended up hitting the small scratches with Meguires Scratch X, then did the whole thing with Mother's Clay Bar and then Meguires Gold Class, then Mother's Back to Black on the roof racks and other black bits. Far out what a day!! Kinda ran out of time to do the windows and then take photos before the sun went down :(

My wideband AFR meter arrived today at 3pm, but I had no time to fit it :wub: Back to work tomorrow for 2 weeks, so it'll have to wait a while :wub:

Tried the unique auto sports brake upgrade on the s2 this week . I have to say they do not work on stags . Looking at making my own kit . This will be able to use 324mm disc and the sumitomo 4 pots . Direct bolt on no mods . Have to check on brake lines once on car . Will be out to see a "CAD" man tomorrow . Looking at two different set ups maybe 330mm will fit aswell . Will keep all posted.

booking the car in with chequered tuning (status)to put a nistune in tomorrow should be done by the end of the month as there busy so will have the extra killawasps just in time for deca

very surprised it didn't fit - every skyline brake bit I've put on mine bolted straight on....I've run gtr front and rear brakes on it now?

what was the problem, did the adapter hit on something? Either way Im sure UAS will refund.

+1 on this....I fitted 324mm rotors using R32 GTR callipers with the brackets they supplied me with only a slight mod.

Had a busy week

New front and rear brake disc, pads, braided lines and rebuilt r34 calipers and painted in 2pac

Engine covers painted in 2pac

Greddy copy inlet manifold

650cc injectors and new fuel rail and Sard FPR

Z32 AFM

Fuel pump 13.2V direct feed

New alloy radiator

Next week

GTR BOV

Mod intercooler piping and exhaust

Tune Nistune ecu

Re-assembly front end of car

When time premits parts waiting to go in

Defi 3 DIN gauges

Evo 8 recaro's

GTR front sway bar

Adj caster and camber arms and bushes

Minor stereo upgrade

N1 block should be sweet. What turbos you going to run?

looking at a decent sized single: T04/GT35 or similar with a modified head, single throttle body and mildish cams: I am gunning for midrange, and don't really car what the peak output ends up being as long as it's responsive...

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
