So after a bit of delay between Nissan and RHD, my gearbox was finally sent last Wednesday. It arrived at my house yesterday!! :D

Small bit of annoyance, on the trip from Japan to Australia somebody decided that the big fragile stickers with arrows pointing up clearly didn't mean anything so the gearbox was sat upright. Luckily they put it on the tailshaft input side so no damage has occured to the input shaft on the bellhousing end. Unluckily, the gearbox was full of oil, which obviously went everywhere!

Anyways, here it is. All shiny looking and stuff. Will be fitting it this weekend. Can't wait to get driving again! I've been very unmotivated and wanting to sell the GTT to fund buying a dedicated track car, perhaps driving it again will change my mind lol.

Whilst attacking the wiring I decided it was time to spend the money on braided lines all around the hot side. Clearly heat wasn't going to be nice. Insert big box of Aeroflow parts here haha >>

Anyway, on to Sunday. Supersprint at Mount Panorama. I didn't really take any pictures, but did have the GoPro in the car. I was still getting used the new power delivery and I had also asked Jez to

Sooo... I was on the local news after my recent attendance at the Mount Panorama Esses Descent. https://au.prime7.yahoo.com/n3/news/a/-/local/27254254/mudgee-driver-takes-out-esses-descent-video/ Wi

Well the gearbox was fitted up yesterday and everything appears to be good :D

I have done about 300kms or so driving so far and plan to do a a bit more than that next week to get it run in.

I also ordered another pair of the P45R2's that I've been running on the front for the rear so I have a complete set for daily driving and will most likely use them for non drifting events still lol.

Small mod update to come, when I actually get to doing it :P

No major updates, I've been very lazy, but changed gearbox oil on the weekend after ~1100kms of run in. Minimal shavings, less than I expected to come out of a brand new box, so I guess that is good lol.

I have purchased a 19 row oil cooler which I will hopefully be fitting this weekend, which means I will also get the Defi oil gauge sensors hooked up finally lol.

I also cancelled my order for the new/matching pair of wheels as their was a nearly 2 months (possibly more) back order, so I figured I'd put the money to better use. I am trying to find a good set of track wheels that I can fit some decent sized semi slicks on to now as I have entered the Mountain Straight hill climbs again at Bathurst which are on the 31st August. Keen to beat my times from earlier in the year, which if I get some decent tyres that shouldn't be hard, considering I was running crappy Rotalla's that were nice and hard. I also have some Cusco front adjustable camber arms to fit up which will help me get a bit nicer alignment ;)

Ok so I've been a bit slack with updating this.

Attempted to fit oil cooler but one of the lines had a leak so I had to rip it all back off in preperation for hill climbs at Bathurst that were on today.

Purchased some R34 GTR rims cheap second hand which had used Toyo R888's on them in 265/35/18.

Ran those tyres at Bathurst today and made a new personal best time of 53.04 seconds (down from 56.71 seconds at the last one which I was running crappy tyres at).

Can't wait to attend the next one with NEW semi's and see how much more time I can crack, there is still plenty of time to be made, but I was pretty happy with 2nd in my class and 9th overall for the day :)

Pics/vids of stuff to come.

Here is the in car footage of my fastest lap yesterday at the hill climbs. New PB of 53.04s and definitely some room for improvement still. Car handled great but I'm going to have to get over my love of having the car low and raise it up a bit so it's not scrubbing so much up the front. I'm keen to get back there at the end of November with some fresh rubber and see how it goes.

I also forgot to mention in my last post that I have purchased some Xspurt 1000cc injectors and a Walbro fuel pump from scotty nm35 from here. I have been chatting with Dvs Jez and will be booking in for a tune with him as soon as I purchase a Z32 AFM. This should give me a nice little power increase hopefully in time before the next hill climbs ;)

Nope no spacers. Mind you, my car is a bit lower than yours. I had to run about -1.3 degrees camber on the rear just to prevent the tyres touching the guard lol. I will be raising it a tad before the next event. The front is running -3 degrees and was scrubbing terribly lol...

Yeah must just be the height as mine is about the same rear setting...

I dont have the camber arms in the front of mine yet so i am only at -2.25 degrees or something... Mine only hit the left guard hence why both left tyres are now cactus :(

Mine just scrubs at the front because it's too low lol. I am going to raise the car about a cm at the rear and 1.5cm at the front and get it all realigned and see how that goes. I've got my camber maxxed out pretty much up front. I want to bring the rear camber back to about -1 degree neat if I can.

If you wind the suspension up it might end up reducing the camber to where you want it anyway?

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
