Booking in a track day, How long do you think they will take to arrive? If its going to be a couple weeks i might have to go easy at the track, booooooooooooo >_<

Wouldn't worry about taking it easy too much. If you are worried make sure you have fresh oil before you hit the track, then change your oil when you get home. If you are really paranoid have a cool down lap every 3 laps or so. Also keep an eye on your water temp / oil temp / oil pressure.

These are all things I don't do :laugh:

hmm just checking the calender i would need it before easter so i can fit it over the weekend. That's abit unrealistic for payment and transit times.

lol Matt I know what you mean it's hard not to get carried away and forget to watch the temps. I think the oil is pretty fresh i changed it after the sump plug group buy and only use the car on weekends. I'll just bleed the brakes and it should be good to go. If it startes heating up i'll do a cool down every 3 hot laps.

Righteo I had to change two people over as I have not heard back from the original two regarding payment.

Just waiting for the last three payments to come through and then we should be good to go to transfer the money this weekend :)

I sent through the order today and will transfer the money once I get final payment. He said he will start getting the kits ready today and shouldn't be longer than 1-2 weeks to get them all done and sent.

Unfortunately not. No sandwich plates with a thermostat do (didn't actually know that until this group buy) because there is simply no room for them.

However where the factory pressure sensor is on the factory oil cooler/warmer, you could remove that and put in an adaptor so you can run two things.

The other option is to get a filter relocation kit and run it from that.

Man that sucks, (besides the obvious) what happened?

I was at the start of a 25kph road-work zone, trafic stopped at the lights in front of me. I slowed to a stop.

I look back in my rear-view, and a car is quite a ways back but still doing the speed limit (60kph) .. I watch him pass what I perceived as the braking point - and kept going, I knew he was going to hit me, hard. Right before he hit, I heard a squeal of brakes and slam.

Based on what the assessor has said, it's repairable. A good thing, since I only just fitted the 18" LMGT4s 2 weeks ago.. Now to get it off to the right repairer to take care of it.

Fark, I hope he's done for neg driving etc etc. That's bloody stupid.

Also, I'm hoping that even though you saw it coming, you didn't brace correctly and are suffering whiplash

stupid prick shouldn't be driving.

Just got told from Hel about a new product they have for their 19 row oil coolers (unfortunately got told a little to late for this group buy). It's an oil cooler air duct as seen below:

Basically allows you to route cold air directly into the oil cooler via some tubing.

Good for people that want to mount it somewhere where there isn't a great deal of airflow.

Anyway just thought I would show you guys in case any one wanted one. Will most likely do another batch of these oil coolers so if some one wanted one of these they can.

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
