Great looking R-tune's you have there. I'll be interested to hear how streetable they are compared to the S-tunes. I want that adjustability of the Rtunes, without added harshness. Ie... no rougher to drive than the s-tunes.

Ian, They're alot firmer than the S tunes for sure. I have had them in and did maybe 100 kms but 36 hours before the Nats I had to pull them back out :domokun: . I don't really drive the car that often on the street so I spose I can put up with it a little. The S tunes are great on the street but feel a little lack luster on the track. The R tune spring rates are 12 F and 10 R IIRC, so yeah, firm.

Just wait till this years nats, i'll chuck you the keys and see if you like them or not.

Annddd the rears are in :D

I'd like that but won't be making it to the Nats this year. At the moment I have a choice... go to the nats or finish my next engine. Only if work picks up a lot over the next 2 months can I consider doing both.

A few goodies turned up today.

First my crank

Pistons arrive next week sometime. Sump will be dropped off to Racepace in Melbourne to get modified to their specs. 9.5 Litre oil changes will get exxy!

is that diff a 1.5way LSD?

It's a.... Different diff.

They don't have clutch packs in them, they have gears.

Gav and R32TT (Matty) have them in their cars and love them to bits. They do the same sort of driving as what we do so that was good enough.

Time will tell.

looks nice paul.

That extra oil capacity is good insurance, only 2x5ltr bottles :)

Cheers karnt. Yeah, running round on semis and a stock sump isn't the smartest idea. Us NSW guys and our SBS (sump baffle syndrome) as Ash likes to call it :D

Pics fresh in from the land of the rising sun.

A few pics of the head.

The 'marks' on the face of the head is just sticky gunk from it being packed up. A little bit of petrol and it will be sweet.

Parts missing are the exhaust manifolds which are matched to the head and I sent a manifold to turbine housing gasket to japan to be matched up.

Cams are missing

I also had a 'balance tube' port matched up.

Parts will come in dribs and drabs to not get anally bashed by customs!!!

Block and rods were taken down to the engine builder on Friday. When the pistons arrive the crank and the pistons will be taken down. Head will be in the country on the 12th of May.

    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
