Hey guys!!!! I'm sorta back :D

The thread is TL DR so someone will need to catch me up, although i know we have Trike warriors and cars being completed..... Martin the trouble make is back and Chookie is getting more ink?

Oh and a swear i saw Captain Natro in here too?

Saved a fair bit of money from the stupid Ocsober thing so far so it will go towards tyres and oil cooler for the nats......... Oh and buying a 3082 as a backup for my turbs!

Well just as i suspected, the GTR has been delayed again, this time the tomei gasket kit is not in stock, so it wont be ready till monday/tuesday next week and im in orange all week, so im going to have to pick it up friday arvo when i get back from orange, then i can give it a drive to and from work on saturday and then the cruise is sunday, so ill be taking a fresh engine on this run, 2 days out of the shop. So i wont be doing any crazy pull sor anything so ill probs take up the rear as ill be going very easy on her.

Ill pick it up and bed it in........ Hows the clutch :ph34r:

Lol sounds like a bit to much for me anyways

With stock low mount manifold and piss ant exhaust etc on pump fuel i doubt its making that power, and low mounting a GT35 is a bit suss?

AND 500rwhp is roughly what i have NOT 400kw as Mr NPC said :P

Lol, new ad -

Not sure if I posted this here or another thread but have a read and then see if you wan to take it easy still, best way to glaze the bores and kill the rings is to take it easy in my opinion

Have run in plenty of engines by loading them up first run and never had any dramas

If the shop has a dyno maybe they can run it in on the dyno for you before you pick up the car

well if this is the case im sure my mechanic will run it on his dyno b4 he gives it to me, im going to wait to see what he tells me what he wants to do with it as he is the one offering warranty on it if something goes wrong. If he wants me to smash it then get out of my way GTR coming through and ill see u guys at berowra as ill need the wood ramps to get on the ferry :woot:

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
