Don't forget to put the cap back on the brake master !!

Friken looks great mate congrats

What sort of numbers are you hoping for once it's all done ?

Haha it's all there now, With the current setup I'm looking at anything around 650 although Closer to 700 the happier I'll be but originally decided to settle with the OS giken twin plate and maybe the turbo might hold us back from a figure nearing closer to that, But anything near 490kW I'll be happy with everything's there for future power provisions anyway

Road tested Thursday afternoon, everything is perfect, Except for the front bar I bought which is still black needs paint haha,
The pedal is really tough to push down on the brake assuming booster needs some love need to gid some dardy kerb stomping action to slow the car down with that bad boy.

Brought car home from the workshop, time to put some run in kms on it,
Can confirm, Sounds like honda tractor with the silencer in, Still loud. Tomei Ti ftw.
Can confirm Straight cut gears are LOUD as f**k.
Can also confirm no A/c, Such regrets, Much why's. Should be ok when weather cools down a bit, I like driving with the window down anyway.
Filled the tank up full , Drove home, Did a nice freeway run, then took a fair few backroads near my house for a bit of stop start, Quite happy with where its at, Will try to get a power tune in the next couple weeks.
So happy with the effort and countless hours the boys have put into it, All the extra bits and pieces absolutely finish the car off, Still a couple bits and bobs we need to get sorted to finish it off, but for now RUN IN ;)

Nice one man!

Hoping there'll be some vids of exhaust and gearbox sounds at some point :)

Soon! Possibly tommorow actually, I took the silencer out and jesus. I don't feel good driving it around that loud haha. Brings the car to life though.

Quick update havnt had much time to give info , But it went 580 on 19psi for a little safe detune to get used to the power after the run in with the 4k limiter and 0 boost.

It drives like a dream, Just gone in for its full power tune while keeping a respectable safe limit so looking at 650+

To any of you that aren't graced with my presence on facebook, I'll chuck a couple of these up. Car got put on the Racewars & F&F 7 promo at morley galleria week after collie, got it all cleaned up nice, Had alot of interest.
Was a good night apart from my Parking lights button on the dash having a burnt out LED and me not knowing it was stuck on , Dry cell didn't like that one at all.
PPG straight cut box is being swapped out for my old stock box for racewars so I can have a 5th gear in time, And hopefully lasts long enough to get a Vmax crack out of it. Will also be on its full power tune to so should be in for some fun :)
Orange indicators have gone on to replace the old smoked corner ones, and finally sorted some side indicators!, Next up probably some Gauges, fix up the interior lining, and probably get the boot relined. Small cosmetic things.
maybe a holinger

at racewars had a Good weekend had so much fun, Wish I had my ppg box in! but i bent the 5th selector fork so back to stocker. Stock box held up well,
First pass I just wanted to feel out the track over the 1000M and get a feel for the shorter braking distance as this is the first time I'd had the GTR out for some real speed runs to really open up, after some encouragement from Brockas basically to not be a bitch I nailed it on the 2nd run
Felt like I had enough for a 260-265 km/h pass with a better 2nd gear grab off the launch, but really couldnt be bothered lining up again against that headwind! All in all fantastic weekend, Had some serious fun lining
up the other boys on the 800 and 400 roll ons and stop starts, Can't wait for the pictures and videos to start popping up I have seriously got to hear what that launch looks like from the outside haha.
Good to put some names to faces off the forums cheers for everyone coming up for a chat and supporting my build from start to finish it's really paid off! And to the guys at the workshop and the spectators and organisers at RW for making it so fun.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
