Fark it needs a good clean! Also need to sort out some heat sheilds on the hot side as there is some meltage happening on a few things :blink:

34GTR front end is awesome!

Certainly look tough and love the fact the front guards accomodate such large rims..... I considered it a while back but it hard to do to a GTT and do it right, you really have to do the rear guards etc to make it looked balance and its big $$$, ill just stick with what i have and make it work the best i can :D

Tractor is out of place in those pics.

Suppose they used it to tow all those broken cars out to the carpark?

Haha that is one tractor i am NOT picking on, it has way more bragging rights and power than ill ever have :P

Oh no picks of my blue beast that was on the hoist. Looking good.

And yes you definitely need to sort some sort of heat sheild before SMSP :P

Lol i dont want to have everyone looking at your beast and not mine :P

Yeah i guess it hasnt been punished for prolonged periods other than the dyno so will see how it hold up with the heat i guess!

Sort it out.

You will melt shit and be put out of the track day otherwise- take it from my experience. Have a look right round teh hot side on the chassis, and cover any loom, pipes, harness, P/S and whatever else you don't want to toast. Mine melted cops tail conduit stuff straight off, started toasting the wiring loom, and I got a misfire. That was with a Beanie on the turbz. High mounts throw heat big time.

What did you use to cover all your looms etc?

Mine has melted all the plastic hose connectors and black sheathing already! You know, coz racecar!

Dunno - haven't sorted it yet.

At the track Eric put a redbull can over the loom, no shit. Sorted it for the day.

I have a sheet of aluminiumised fibreglassy stuff- thats what I'll probably use, wrap it up. I don't want to cut up one of those nice slip on hose protectors.

This is what I did, works fine.

Would have used some sheet, but I had to buy half a meter of the sleeve to do my 10cm turbo oil return pipe, so I had plenty left over. Just sliced it in half, wrapped up my cables, and cable tied it together. No problems thus far, though I don't have a high mount...

Hmmm well another thing on the To Do list!

Is there any black heat shield crap i can cut up and use to stay with the whole stealth theme?

I know there are a couple of things that need wrapping!

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
