Lol.

Piss off Ash.

I went down there on Tuesday and they were just about to start on it. I'll be down there tomorrow to drop off something so I'll see how they're going. I've got a week off work the week after next so I should have some decent progress there.

I've decided to give the -5's a run first, Atleast to get a baseline and to see how much of a difference this head has made.

I also got my balance tube back from HKS as they have ported it to suit the head. I'll put pics of that up when I get it back from Hypertune on Friday.

less faggotry more build thread!

Dave, I like it, no bullshit and straight to the point !!

Paul will never have this engine finished.

Infact this mystical japanese head doesn't even exist. He just copied some pictures from the depths of google

Ash , I can tell you its 100% for real as I had to lug the bloody thing in my carry on back from Jappa.

No I'm not Mike.

If you were would be a good basis for comparison to other results... we dont race flow benches (or dynos) but it is the only measuring stick we have to go by for heads.

ok, just caught up from like page 3 hahaha :D

as for your suspension, i don't think they'll be too firm if the shocks are up for it. I believe my Arragosta's are 14/12 kg springs which i was absolutely dreading, but really, they're fine on the road. So i reckon you're R-tunes will be fine...

in fact, man up... get some silly Jap rate springs in there! :D

Agreed and the best way to measure your gains with back to back dyno testing. I can't imagine the withdrawal symptoms u are experiencing Paul...almost there

Yeah getting there man. This thing is gonna cop the biggest raping of its life when its back together!

Yeah I know man, however it's so close to being put together that Im not going to take such a critical part away from the builder. Sick of waiting.... Need to be launching!

Well, i've had them in the car for a little bit (100 kms or so). They were firm but also compliant (if that makes sense). I'd it's the valving in them. I was expecting it to be 4 gum tree stumps in there. That was on 19's with 30 series tyres, so i'd hope to think that with a 265-285 35 x 18 tyre will help.... even if ever so slightly.

OK. Finally a little update

I got my balance tube back from HKS. That got ported and matched up to the port size and shape of my head

I took it out to Hypertune so it could get modified for whats called the "JUN cooling mod"... Well that seems to be the most common name for it.

Keen eyes will notice the 6 holes where the air would be have now been filled up and the water galleries have been tapped to accept a fitting. Out of each of these there will a -4 line that goes to a header tank. The wiring loom has to move so that will be rerun under the runners of the plenum.

Also there has been a camshaft change. Unigroup (Well Yavuz) went and picked a lobe that was much more aggresive than what the Japs have to offer.

Very nice paul. Good to see progress mang. I might take you up on that offer too mate. Ill call you about it tomorrow and we can organise something. Interested to see the camshafts too. Lift change? duration change?

    • 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?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
