Recommended Posts

That will be one wicked 32 then...

I meant to say what he wanted to put in mine ECU wise, It wont be like the Gibson GTRs in all the power making stuff.

Edited by Bunta

Alan was awesome, confirmed everything I talked to you about on the phone, their set up in the GTR was word for word what Sean wants to put on mine.

Yes, totally reinforces everything you discussed with me and everything Alan mentioned was crystal clear to me. Thanks mate.

The club has been invited to be the feature club on the Sunday for the event. We have been asked to fill the apron in front of the function room with skylines so make them shine and come along, all skylines are welcome.This will also be a great opportunity for the club to promote itself to the public.

so where the hell was everyone? I was there front and center, from just before 8am till around 1pm, and I saw 2 other skylines the whole day.....

The 'club' display was cancelled when we found out that we had been over committed in terms of numbers.

They were just trying to get a heap of cars there regardless of whether they were skylines or not

Sorry mate, thought that I made that clear when I asked if you could come to the dinner instead.

sorry man, ralf and I showed up late...and they told us the show and shine was full....we really should have all showed, the comondoors were far to common. all those rare red Brock specials that look identical....

Saw your car, lookin good. steve was there in his LM.

Yeah Ralf got a few nice photos, this one features the bogged fire truck :) after it went out to try and put out a burning commo....lol

Tony, nothing was "made clear" even after rereading the whole convo again . Regardless, shit happens and I had a ball, talked for half an with Colin Fulton(team gibson) met Freddy , got his scribble on my poster next to Mr Jims, the Shannon's guys loved my car and said if they had class for older nissans I would have got it hands down, And I scored the original "redbook" from 1977 that has my car in it, for the high rolling price of $5. And on top of all that I saw Jim flogging the doors of the R31 just like I remember watching with my dad at lakeside over 20 years ago. :D

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
