Run out of nitrous of the 2nd lap??

RB26 cam covers (to be painted blue)

Mines style baffles

and oil restrictors :)

Depends how big of a shot and how often you'r on full throttle... I'd say a 75hp shot would last 15-25 laps at basky.

Who'd you end up getting the baffles from??

Hey Guys, Just thought I'd make a new thread for my GTS Build instead of flooding the other one. Here is the before shot One ugly, poorly maintained, unloved skyline. Set me back $3500. It's a

Three laps of the world, best.

How long did it take you to get the indicator shot? Haha

well they don't flash at random so it wasn't very hard :P took me a while to get the exposure right to make it look good though.

I got the baffles from Boost Automotive, they had the best price and he actually had them in stock! Unlike everywhere else in the world who didn't.

Says captain combustible... I don't think you can claim ease of installation until you've done it without creating a fireball every time you turn a corner :P

HEY! The indicators work FINE!

It's those stupid LED lights that caught fire, so excuse me for thinking that some "heavy duty" LED lights could handle twice the voltage they're supposed to have closedeyes.gif

Lol.

Went to the drags today and got a 13.1 @ 118mph then broke my tail shaft :( It was fun while it lasted.

Videos and pics later :)

Ahh... memories.

It's supprising what times you end up with isn't it? Even the smallest amount of wheelspin or bogging on the line has a huge effect on overall et.

Most people figure.. hmm a 300+ rwkw 1500kg car should be good for 12's out of the box right? Ha ha wrong.

Looks like you had fun till it went boom anyway.

Single piece tailshaft?? Mine was fairly cheap from memory.

*snip*

yeah, doing a 12 is a lot harder than it looks! Given a few more runs I think I might have cracked it. Maybe next time.

Getting a good launch, is hard! And nailing every gear change after that is not easy either. You can loose a lot of time just taking 0.01 seconds longer changing into 2nd.

I've pinched the drive shaft of Tim's R33 for now, I might look at a 1 piece later. The bit that broke was the uni joint closet to the gearbox.

snipppy snip-

Yeah, tell me about it! Try running a mid 10 with only 80 more kw and 200kg more weight!!!!

Ahh the 'parts car'

I've never heard of that uni going... maybe have a look at your engine/box alignment??

yeah Chris in the Blue R33 was a really nice bloke, parked next to him in the pits and we spun a few yarns.

Next time I'll be better :) the 2nd run was the most sedate launch in the whole world and knocked a whole second off. First run had a better MPH though...

Oh well.

Time to fix this got damn tail shaft.

A mate of mine in a blue R33 running 215x60x15 (i think) shit tyres with 320ish rwkw managed a 12.4 at just under 120mph

Yeah I've got some vids of that, he beat me twice -_-. Though ^apparantly is ~100kW up on me, so that makes sense :P

&

Also I think I've got another video of Zoids R33 and some pics to post when I get home...

Damn kids, crapping up my thread....

Pretty nice videos though, that camera takes some nice videos :)

I'm so amazingly trolled right now. I took out Tim's tailshaft and went to put it in mine and the f**ker is too long! it's 4cm longer than mine!! WTF?! HOW DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN?!

So I called up brother Ben at GT and he's going to sort it out for me, maybe one piece. I can't believe how cheap they are!

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, so disapointed. closedeyes.gif

That was me driving in the top video, actually missed 3rd gear in that run so may have been a 12.1-12.2 if i got it right. I usually drive that red dunger R31 that was doing 11's @ 122mph last year.

The R33 went to symmons plains the next day, chris managed a 65 on road tyres for his first time at the track.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?
