took out my coilovers and put in standard suspension, rides like a 4x4 to go over the pits,

failed because of my eyelids, i knew it anyways forgot to take them off, and because of my tint

i have 8% light through the rear two doors and 13% in the front doors, aparently i have to take all the tint off the car, dont know how i can do it... i also found out that they tinted over the factory glass, well will see what happens....

sigh so annoyed

least the guy didnt waste my time and told me what to fix before he "inspected it properly"

Is your tint just the factory tint or does it look heavier? From what I understand the factory tint should be fine :s

Not something I did to my car (engine is still out of it) but what I did today:

went to Tauranga for an SDU (Skylines Down Under) dyno day. In the awd turbo class an R32 GTR made 501awkw, an R33 GTR made 381awkw and a 260RS Stagea was third with a first run of 300awkw on 14psi and on 18 psi made 324awkw (for those who remember Psymin's Stagea it is no more - he is putting all the good running gear in an R32 GTR and the car is for sale with an RB26... pretty much stock RS260).

A 4wd V8 Adventra made 228awkw!

Friday, i fitted new clarion HU and Gizzmo EBC, removed split dumps, front pipe, hi flow cat and GCG turbo off my written off r32. Yesterday i fitted split dumps and hi flow to me new stag. Have my Nistune board here, just waiting for another ECU i bought from perth to arrive, then ill fit my nistune, hi flow GCG, z32 AFM (off the r32) silicon intake pipe and tech edge wide band O2 sensor.

Then i need to sell my r32 (repairable write off, has nistune, injectors, coils and so on already fitted) to fund intercooler, injectors and coils for the stag.

Looking good...

Funniest night in history last night

finished work,went to kidafa's place to help them finish his manual conversion

all was well

took it for a spin round the block,runs really good

started heading home,and as I boosted past chris to turn off my way home I blew off an intercooler pipes.awesome

luckily chris had mike and Adam in his car and they pulled over to help

was f**ken bucketing down and we had no tools to fix the popped hose

another sau member was randomly driving past and pulled over to help

he went back to his place that was just up the road to get tools,he got back and after some swearing and mike putting water down my arse crack I got the pipe back on and tight

only to find that my battery had gone flat.thanks for jinxing me Adam!

Had jumper leads in the car so sau random did a u turn to get our cars end to end,but his hybrid pos wasn't starting my car

he starts reversing back up the portrush rd only to be pulled over by the fuzz on patrol!

Got a warning,and breatho'd and he headed home again to get a jumper pack

so us 4 clowns are standing on the footpath waiting for him to get back and got f**ken egged by a car full of douches,who carries eggs these days and pelts stranded people? Teats

anyways,finally got my green machine running and headed home. But an hour and a half standing in the rain and with my window stuck half open my interior and Gtr seats are sopping wet...

Thanks to all the lads for sticking around

big ups mike,chris and chef

I'd have been f**ked without you!

And of course thanks to the random sau good Samaritan for the tools and jump pack

ps chris,that's why you should dress appropriately.put some pants and a f**ken jumper on!

And that's my story,and mike wonders why I want to sell my stag...

Finally got to have a decent drive after fitting the front facing plenum. It still runs lumpy when cold but after that smooth as. Did 460ks on about 3/4 tank. Best I have ever got.

Also while away picked up a pair of front guards, front bar with lip and some skirts. $50. They are spares jic.

On blowing IC hoses. During testing after fitting the front mount and running huge boost, the hoses kept blowing off the straight pieces of pipe, did not matter how tight the clamps. Simple solution was to drill 4 holes and fit self tappers. The heads stopped the clamp from slipping the same as a lip or ring of weld. Easy to do and inexpensive.

    • 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?
