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

I'm more partial to a startup engine sound that induces a feeling of fear... Oh crap what have I built ! Instead of one that provokes a bunch of guys to get a semi...

Fear is where its at!

So no VCAM just yet... Are you still planning on using the Mines 10mm lift cams you were talking about at the nats?

Ian. No Vcam yet but I put the Exhaust cam in that HKS and the guy that built the head recommended IF i decide to go that way later on. Actually even without Vcam Hiroyuki recommended the 264's anyway. I will be getting his 'recomended' cam settings and go from there. I'm hoping the idle will be nice and smooth, not a grumpy prick like it was with the 270's.

Next time your scared... don't come near me :P

Dont be near Wakie on the 19 of May then, the fear levels may drop after the first session if the engine bay isnt covered in oil.

Im loving the power of the boat ATM but the oil issues are breaking my balls, hopefully will be fixed after the new cam covers/baffles and catch can are in.

Either that or Im just going to go and buy some Drag Radials for the rear and only go in a straight line, the car has no problems doing that, stupid f**king car.

Well hopefullt this does it. You can't have any more black lines in your bay. It will look like a spiders web.

Have you got your latest graph handy? Throw it up if you could be bothered!

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Doug 98 R34 GTT · Posted

      New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.

      Series 1 r33 no turn over

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.

      Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?

      Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
