PM-R33

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
