Well the decision was made not to go with another stock NEO as the risk of failure again with the new EFR setup was too high! It was OK belting around the track on 300kw with the old setup but the big

The evo guys love their turbos!

Pretty much all of the examples are from an evo

Well there are a few showing on RB's now and from the PM's i have been getting it looks like we will have plenty more results coming soon ;)

The turbo change made my car a different beast, i hope the others get the same positive results!

It is tempting. Ideally I would copy Mat's setup to a tee (apart from all that boring ass black! :laugh: ), but the funds are an issue :(

Haha stop picking on my black mr Bower Bird :O haha

Good news, went and spoke to Fulcrum or Carline or whatever they are called and they are fixing the arms today for me! Thank fark...

It's all about having the flashiest tail feather my friend! :P

Good thing about the arms, make sure they do it properly this time! Pretty poor effort last time, hard to believe they thought that was good enough to give back to you.

They are actually well used on GTRs, and Porsches in twin turbo form too... a huge percentage of the 8s GTRs running around run these turbos :)

I get my spares shop to do it for me, the dude is probably about 70 and it comes out pretty good for $15 a side.

I'm quite shocked a big name place did a shet job..

I was thinking a decent shop would do a good job for me so paid to have it done... Kind of regret it now :/

Yeah but those GTR's are also big $$$ R35's if i am correct? :P

How can someone even f**k up a bush install like that? It's not like the press comes down quickly. You'd have to either completely not be paying attention or see that you've f**ked up, not care and keep going anyway :S

I would guess its the second one mate! Its certainly shit quality work!

I have no choice but to get them pressed in further and just run them as is, the main part of the bush will be fine its just shitty that it was done so poorly in the first place!

I have had pretty good dealings through most of the build except for the assclowns at Bl@cktrack, and now this!

I have not had time to update this thread and wont have time to do a proper update for a couple of weeks, but just so you know the suspension issue was sorted and the car was thrown back together... We test drove it down the street and found a nice spot for a couple of pics -

Not bad for a quick clean and random pic location!

I DID make the SAU NSW track day just in time, but i had some silly little gremlins... The car felt great when it was going and i can see it being a hell of a lot of fun once i fix some issues with it... The Cruiser towed it easily -

Passed Scrutineering no worries -

The day was good but i couldnt get more than a couple of laps in, by the time the tyres were warm enough the engine bay seemed to be the same and goodbye silicon hose... At first it blew the cooler pipes off which was no big deal but after that it upgraded to blowing the silicon hose open -

I ran down to Plazmaman and grabbed another one and tried again, same deal... No good!

Such a silly little issue to have but it basically called the day over and done with... In saying that i got to go out and have a great time with a great bunch of SAU members!

I will get proper alloy piping done (Which honestly should have been done from the start) and get back into it.... It has caused a Vac leak of some form which i now also have to find.

This is just a quick video of the passenger session with Carmen in the car -

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      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?

      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?
