Hi all

Tuning day this Monday 23 April 8am - 5pm

Me and the old boy will be up there trying to give each other a whopping after the extremely long awaited track renno's (modded 33GT-R and a modded 34GT-T)

Any one keen to come out for a wrap or just for a look, let us know.

Should be an awesome day ;-)

Cheers,

Brendan

Ok first up,

Paul: I owe you a massive apology - did not even click when my father and I met you today! haha

All this time I've been looking forward to meeting you and I was away with the fairys at the track when the opportunity had risen! Pretty funny considering I'd been looking through your build profile and then didn't even recognise the car today, EVEN WHEN I SAT IN IT TO HELP YOU BLEED THE BRAKES haha

Ahh well, shame about your brakes mate.

The old boy and I had an awesome day battling it out with each other. Made for some awesome video footage, inlcuding my classic moment spinning in to the paddock (no thanks to the fluid spilt on the track) My 34 was far quicker than ever today thanks to the new brakes, suspension and wheels/R888 tyres, which helped keep up with dads 460awhp beast a little better.

Look forward to catching up with you boys and the RB toys again soon.

Cheers,

Brendan

Haha, no worries its all good :)

Turns out it may not have been the brakes after all, possibly a stuffed wheel bearing, but we'll figure it out soon enough. One of the benefits of the tuning day is getting to grips with teething problems in the car when there is no pressure to perform ;)

The Blake boys plan to be out at the next tuning day coming up 19th May with 2 freshly re-tuned skylines ;-)

Should focus on that one first eh fellas?

Be good to get a clan of skylines running together - The family/friends will be out with the video cameras aswell so will be good to get plenty of RB action if a few others come out.

Cheers,

Brendan

Good stuff.

Yeah got a few with the GoPro's but they are massive in size so it's too much of a mission to upload them on the net.

Got some good previous vid's of me and the old boy which I'll put up when I get time.

Look forward to meeting you Goran.

Will be there with mate in R33's

Still deciding if I should change to E85 and chase more power or set up suspension and get most out of current set up.

Any photos or vids from last track day Brendan?

Uploaded a few vid's on to the youtube account - you can watch them on my channel; "SCR34MER444"

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
