So basically just acted as a vent to help oil drain quicker through the oil returns

Any more updates on the gtr ?

Getting a Quaife ATB front diff installed and the rear is getting rebuilt to around 30% higher torque settings. That plus the brakes and I'll take it back out for some fun :)

who needs dedicated track car hey ! nice man taking this to its full potential

what times did you run in the old green beast ? i need something to aim for once i learn how to drive straight :unsure:

66.7 I think was best long track, did some suspension stuff after that which would have made it quicker but never got it out again.

I think most the RWD quick Skylines are around the 66 mark but Denver is doing 63 (but that is a race car)

If you can crack into the 65's or better your doing well

I've followed your build threads, gtst and now gtr, and ultimatey which 32 do you find quicker?

I thought you were nearing a 65 in the t67 rb25 rwd monster

GTR is miles quicker at the track and a fair whack quicker in a straight line, the old green thing was bargain performance where the GTR isn't

Well GTR ownership is getting expensively depressing. Quaife ATB which has finally arrived this week and is being installed on the 6th of Jan.

Rear diff has been rebuilt and tightened so it's gone from 19lb/ft of breakaway to 49lb/ft. Should be even better for 4wd sideways action once both diffs are back in.


All shiny and tight!

Dog also helped me out to check out condition of the motor

Went to my first ever event in the WA Sprint Championship, was a bit tighter and different to what I'm used to but I did really well coming in 2nd out of 83 cars. Got pipped by around half a second by another 32R which is really set up well with a RB30, EFR8374 and some very nice suspension goodies. About 4 sec clear of the rest of the field made me fairly happy!

Finally back and running, the alignment got a bit stuffed up and they put toe out on the rear instead of in which made it interesting with delaminating tyres on the rear :)

This track you are on . Is it near Perth airport ?

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
