R34 Gtr Vspec Build

[wedge_r34gtr]

Clutch is back – looks brand new. Clamping force has gone from~2400 to 3900. Should be now up to the task of anything this new motor can produce.

Some more parts have started to arrive – Samco hoses for the intercooler pipes and new ducting for the front brake cooling ducts from the front bar.

New rear diffuser brackets. I will get photos of before and after for installation.

hi - where did u buy the ducting from and how much?

[wedge_r34gtr]

The ducting is a standard SAMCO product. Williams Race Services is the aussie dealer ('Mike' helped me out with my stuff):

Was the clutch just a re-puk and wind up the clamp load?

Wind-up of clamp load and resurfing of the puks & flywheel. Everything was in pretty good order.

Sweet! Unlike mine that went up for a rebuild and came back totally replaced

Have you got pics of the plates etc? Just out of interest

[wedge_r34gtr]

Yeah, but yours was melted....lol

I didn't have my camera/phone on me when we took the clutch it off originally, but I'll try to get some on Saturday if it hasn't been put back on the block yet.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Yeah shhhhhhhh..........

Awesome! Let me know how you go, keen to see it!

_{hey mate, where did you get the rear diffuser brackets from?}

RB motorsport in the UK.

I'll PM you some details

Coatings done – Sickkkkkkk!!!!

Hot side should be installed on the motor today or tomorrow.

I also recently invested in some 2200cc EV14 injectors (thanks DVS-JEZ for the awesome price) with the intention of eventually converting the car to flex-fuel. I was in Perth last week and found that it is currently illegal for the servo’s to sell E85 from the bowser. So E85 plans have been put on hold.

It didn’t really surprise me that much that they didn’t have bowser E85 TBH - they only got shell v-power a year or two back. The WA (or Wait Awhile) government always seems to be a few years behind picking things up from the rest of Australia.

Haha well it will be good to have this beast back local and on the jungle juice!!

Ill be in a skyline for a very very long time as i love em!

[wedge_r34gtr]

Hot side on.

Gearbox has also been picked up so everything is ready to go in. Should be installed and running by end of next week, just in time for shipping to Perth.

Piggaz - Paul didn’t do that intake mod you sent through due to time restraints. Next time i add some mods that require a new tune, i'll do it then.

Cheers,

Joel
