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

Sounds pretty menacing Matt!!

Yeah thanks mate! Have driven it a bit lately despite the bloody oil leak but it does sound pretty nuts on high boost :D

Hence why this is appropriate lol -

So much love for this car and the blacked out look you've got

Yeah thanks... Been a bit quiet with updates lately as i've had the shits with it since i picked it up... I'll be happy once the oil leak is sorted and its back on the track!

Where do you get that heat shield stuff from? The one next to the strut and power steer?

Mike I've seen this stuff:

I have been slack as usual and been too busy to get online... I figured i better chuck up some updates...

Oil leak - Sorted... JEM spent ages working on it for me on the day of the track day to make sure i made it on time, took all the covers off and washed it down then reassembled without the cam covers etc, took it on a long test drive and got it too leak again, it was the VCT cam seal leaking and it looks like excessive wear on the sealing surface itself possibly, anyway it was all cleaned and resealed and no more leaks so job done!

So track day... Not much luck once again but i guess still teething issues and one was my mistake! Buying that GKTECH fan was a big waste of time and money.... At idle the car will slowly creep up in temperature but once light cruising it sits right down low.... At high speed the car gets hot now and its possible the fan blades are actually restricting airflow instead of improving it... Either way its the only real change to the cooling system and apart from the radiator letting go its been bullet proof in the past.

In the pits with Mr Deka -

After surviving 15mins on the track -

The front tyres did not survive 15mins on the track and were shithouse after a few laps, doesnt help the outside edges are gone to start with though lol -

I could have taken some pressure out but i wanted to get home as it had been a long day so i didnt bother... I went out for another outlap and that was the end of the day unfortunately -

So i got closer to home and thought ill give it some beans just for lulz.... Turns out Mr Haltech hit boost cut.... Never happened before so i just cruised home and put the car away....

I finally got around to checking the car and found the cable ties holding the boost lines together have melted :/ And this was the result -

So no boost control!

I agree with you on the gktech going back standard when it arrives

Good stuff! Cant believe they can sell something that doesnt work... Most of their products seem really good and funnily enough most of the SR guys rave about the fans! Anyway, going back to standard either way and will hope that was the only issue.

My mate had one of those fans on his SR and he ended up having to sell it because his car wouldn't even hit running temperature on the dyno. Seems crazy they'd work so good on SR's but not RB's :S

Yeah i dont know, but it seems to be the general concensus with most people.... RB = No no and SR = Yes

OEM RB fans flow higher than SR fans to start with, but apparently not as much as the GKTech item either.

GKTech fan works just fine in my car - Mat knows this after we compared temps at Texi!

Put the stocker back in and see if that cures it on the track. Lets not rubbish it until we know there isn't another issue in the system.

      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?
