Cheers dude. Speak of the devil, I think shit is going to grind to a halt!

Might have to pull out of Matsuri, some things have popped which I need to sort.

Hopefully can still make it for Mad monday though.

The All About Stance/ JDMST end of month meet was on today. It was quite big with the complex overflowing with stanced out cars within the hour.

Best of all, I got a rad photo of my car! Winning!

Cheers mate!

It was linked on my blog, I guess it didn't copy over when I posted here though.

In other news, I've sourced some widebody guards that a friend and I will be purchasing after Matsuri. Going to be the widest in town I think.

With Driving Sports – “Mad Monday” only a week away, I hauled ass in getting the R33 ready. This weekend consisted of fitting the Safety 21 rollcage, changing the gearbox oil, and engine oil. A few other things poped up along the way too.

Everything was pretty straight forward with no major issues. Nick and I took our time installing the rollcage as I was unsure whether to completely gut the rear interior or not.

For now we’ve left the interior trims in and taken the seats out. After matsuri I’ll look at removing the sound deadening and covering it all in some carpet.

I really like how the Stage 21 cage is designed, clearances are minimal and it doesn’t reduce head room which I was a little worried about. Because of the tight clearances, it did mean it was a pain to assemble in the car.

Moving on. We replaced the gearbox oil with some Redline lightweight shockproof stuff. As it would crunch when cold before hand. Hopefully the drive up to Wakefield will be enough for the “Smurf’s blood” to get into every nook and cranny of the box.

As for the engine oil, I ditched the Motul turbolight (10-40W) oil for some new Castrol Edge titanium (10-60W), in hope to boost oil pressure. Though after discussing the oil pressure problem with a few mates, I’m quite certain that the sender is in a low pressure area.

Another thing on the list to do is to put the aftermarket sender near the standard item.

Bring on Mad Monday!

thats a pretty big difference, hopefully it performs well on the track in handling temperatures.

do you think the clutch fan and shroud could fit in with that size radiator?

i think you will find with a clutch fan and shroud u will have to trim down the fan, have a look at simon-s14's build

Yeah it should be right.

As for the fan, I believe you'll need to trim the shaft leading to the engine down 20mm or so. Definately not a bolt in affair though. Simon's done it as Jamie suggested.

Yeah they are drifteks.

Haha yeah, burning them is fun though!

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • 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...
    • 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.
    • 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.
