Thanks mate, I've had the old girl for a fair while now and it's been a long process but I'm really looking forward to the final product. When it's done a cruise would be a great idea :)

productive day today,

Tinted the front windows, played around with the idea of matching the back tint but as its so dark and would be illegal i decided to keep with legal darkness,

also the colors will never be the same so it will never truly match the privacy glass.

also found and fitted a pearl white Dayz front bar, still needs to be tideyed up but looks allot better imo,

also found allot of the bolts were rusted so replaced the lot.

next in line is coilovers amongst a long list of other things.

also did not realise that the days front bar uses different foggies?

fitted some Hardrace adjustable camber arms so that i have enough adjustment to stand my wheels up and get some decent wear out of a set of tyres, just need to get a proper alignment done now, and to see if i need to invest in the adjustable toe arms as well.

fitted a brand new set of splitfires and a brand new oxi sensor to the fridge today,

i dont think its ran right in the months i have owned it as it has a heasitation and missfire even with new plugs and all frwesh filters so, idles bang on now, keen to take it for a drive home and see how well it pulls,

hoping i get better fuel economy now too.

Checked the timing yesterday properly, plugged an old plug lead between the coil and the plug to put the timing light onto as i was unsure of the reading i was getting from the blue loop at the back

turns out it reads exactly the same

In the process i had to remove the j-pipe

Turns out there was quite a lot of oil residue in there :(

Thoughts? Turbo oil seals (its after the intercooler tho) or blow by?

Fitted up the Tommy Kaira dash into my Stagea. I need to modify an S2 instrument cluster to suit. That way I can keep my tiptronic and the gear selector indicator. Also, for some reason my phone wont take a pic where the LCD doesn't look like it's not working right. Also think an LED conversion is needed.

ordered coilovers today yay.

can someone confirm, for a 99 C34 RS4-S manual AWD, is the rear a fork or eylet type strut?

i assume the RS4-S will be specific?

RS4S is definitely fork rear mount

Non Stagea, but managed to build up my 26 for my vl , pain in the arse to get the flex plate on the rear, but that's all sorted, now just have to get an rb30 auto spiget and I can put in, went to the wrong repco and couldn't get across town to the other that had it in stock in time before they shut yesterday, so after all the engine stuff was sorted put new springs, adjustable upper control arms and different 3 inch exhaust for the rear, Just have to change the shocks over.

I understand the fanboi aspect, but you really think the 26 is so much better? Why? Smaller capacity, oil supply issues, pita throttle setup. I would have shoved a neo head on the 30, or just left it two valve.

I have a customer's car about to go on the dyno, VL with built rb30, it should hit 500kw with good response from the Precision 6766. I don't personally think the (non VCT) 26 is an upgrade over the 30. Unless you can shove the HKS Vcam on it...

fanboi aspect, I also understand the hater aspect, the aspect that people don't know what there doing, Just my thoughts, but everything you have written in your above post scares me that your a tuner builder.

good luck with that dyno figure

Hmmmm everything that scotty has written is fact ,if your scared it should be from the realisation of the fact scotty is correct !!!! I'm not bagging the potential of a well set up 26 at all , I love them! But they are def not the be all and end all of rb's .

Go for gold scotty on 3.0 will be watching with interest , a " similar" set up to what heading for on the c34 ATM.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
