Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Only 40 days to World Time Attack and I want a drive (I mean ride...). Don't let me down.

Nice one mate, glad to see its coming along well. Hurry up and join the club where we actually get to drive our GTRs...!

If youre not working late every, single, night, youre not working hard enough.

Paul, do you know your cam centerlines on your old head? If so, can you share?

Not sure, but we are getting all the cams measured up and plotted on paper. I'll post that sheet when I get it.

I need the engine back so I can do anything :(

Any idea how your cam gears were adjusted?

Intake was quite hard advanced, something like + 10 or so degrees, exhaust was -1 I think.

That was setup for GT-RS's. When I went to -5's we didn't touch them.

What sort of timeframe do you think you are looking at? I have only taken mine for one outing since getting it back so we may need to take both of them out soon to rack up some km's :)

Weather's been rubbish anyway and given how the car behaves in the dry id rather not risk death by trying it out in the wet! - Yours will no doubt be even more nasty

No build thread Marko and I don't want to clutter Paul's but yes ive just finished a build and Dart was involved, along with a few other workshops.

I may put up some details and a thread if time is ever on my side.

Nick, I don't know man. I said 6 weeks... 6 weeks ago. Can't be too much longer. I've lost a little motivation at the moment but I'm sure that will change when the engine is 2 meters in the air!

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
