great day out! the old girl ran well and i had an absolute ball.

for the first time i felt the need for a turbo to push me along the top end of the straight a little more...

and maybe for some grunt to pull me out of corners in 3rd so i didnt have to go back to 2nd every corner...

anyone who crossed paths with me on the track ive probably got some footage of you from my in car vid..

let me know if your interested in seeing it...

Awesome day out weather was sunny all day, pretty happy with how the car ran first time out. I managed a 1.11.18 best time, with hitting the speed limiter about 4 times before breaking for turn1 lol Im sure i could have shaved a few seconds there, car is also not running any boost, ecu or clutch about 170kw atw.. my guess. I deff need to invest in a oil cooler, i have never seen the gauge go so high lol and the car was drinking nearly a quarter tank every 6-7 laps i went and put another $30 at lunch and chewed that too got heaps of laps in and ended the day a session or 2 early.

Best part of the day was the battle i had with billy blags took me 4 laps to catch him and pass when he oversteered haha :yes:

p.s thanks for the pics they look great

yeah even with the smaller engine I had to call it quits. had the fuel pump scavange thought a couple corners so I had to pull in.

Seems 1/4 tank the lowest I can go. Might start dragging a extra fuel can with me from here in.

i had a prick of a day. on my first fast lap on turn one my brakes failed. i didnt brake very late. started at the 300m make and still ended missing the turn. lucky they have abit of runoff room. front left bleed nipple was leaking and it was tight. so we pulled it out to see if it was damaged. but it looked good so we changed the nipple anyway and bled the brakes. it lasted a few more laps then started leaking again.

your brakes were smoking alot when i was following you... looked like you cooked them nicely at the end of the straight. did you bed your pads in properly?

Well get on the power then, nistune, boost 't and away you go cheers.gif.

Oil cooler is a serious must if you want the engine to last and save money as the oil will be shagged now. 2 hot laps and I was cooling down (didn't have time to fit the cooler on the car), then hit it up for 1-2 more hot laps after the cool down lap.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
