I would also be down for a set for sure, do speedflow do black fittings, as the blue and red anodized look nice but easy for the cops to pick up on, i would rather keep everything stealth if possible! I checked with Stao and yes the highflows use the same size fittings as the standard turbo so myself and Miguelone would need exactly the same fittings as yourself.

Yes all fittings even the braided lines are available in black, however prices may vary because its a different 'series'.

Also, i should have sprayed my block black while it was out, damn yours looks sexy with those cam covers!

Yeah its quite easy to do whilst the engine is out hey :P

In any case you can still do you cam covers as they are not that much effort to remove when the engine is still on the car

Didn't get to take that many pics from the install weekend but here is a few:

Getting the gasket on before the manifold goes on. I will say it was a bitch to get some of the nuts on for the manifold

Car been sitting outside so long it has plants growing in it:

Getting the clutch on:

1015563-663140963700266-378721262-o-6631

One of the benefits of a rebuild. Getting stickers :/

1008975-663141110366918-2038086741-o-663

Initial impressions when driving the car, I was afraid that the clutch would be heavy as fu*rk. But it is surprising light. Even lighter than my old clutch which was an Xtreme organic heavy duty clutch that only handles ~260kws or there abouts. And this handles 380rwkw!

Let me know when it's getting tuned mate, I want to drop down for a look. (and a kebab, that shop next door has great food.) :P

When is Trent back from the US?

I let you know! Stao from Hypergear is also coming down to watch as he is keen to see what the max a ss2 internal gate on 98 will do.

Trent just got back from the US a few days ago. Workshop is back open!

Will also need to pay Scotty Customs a visit after to get a turbo bracket made :P

Thanks.

I saw the shop was open Today as I drove past, have you booked it in yet? Must be quite a line of cars for him to catch up on.

No problem, drop in anytime and explain what you want made. I have some good ideas on it already.

Been following this from the beginning and its a great build.

Also what clutch have you got? Looks similar to the NPC carbotic.

It's an NPC. I've been told its a Heavy Duty cushioned Button one. Also has the billet lightweight flywheel. Drive ability I didnt have any issues with

Thanks.

Not booked in yet. Have a feeling there will be a few things ill need to fix up for the RWC.

But yeah always need to book a week or so in advance with Trent!

So finally the car is back on the road and is registered!

Bit of a delay due to:

Roadworthy:

Getting rims that didnt fit

Getting a stock cat from a Stagea that didn't fit

New radiator blown

Heater core playing up

And then in a dispute with Vicroads on whether I needed a VIV, so ended up looking up the legislation which said I didn't need one

So time to rack up some 1000kms and then a tune with Trent when he gets back from O/S

Then once that is done this project aint over!

Going for wider front + rear guards to fit wider rims and tyres. So watch this space :D

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
