Took the R out today for lunch. Don't know if i'm just imaging it or if it's true but it feels smoother with the ARC box than the Pods did. Also makes a good noise. The pods were a little too loud for

So... Was one of the main fuses in the engine bay that went. Good times.

Mechanic was nice enough to give it a detail after some check ups. What a champ.

Anf the LED's look blue in color or is that just the way the photo is reflecting?

I just have put the LED's in mine but are all white and the reflection is well.................white :blink:

Yeah it is white but they are way too bright. Ill replace the number plate lights when i get the car back with different ones. (Ants can you PM/link me the ones you got?)

Yes i put white LED in the reverse lights as well =) the whole car has LED's now. Need to put a blinker resistor in though it blinks a little happy at the moment.

Also no doubt you will find the speaker cover that you are missing in the next week just to rub it in.

Just got off the phone with Adrian (mechanic) and he is getting my brakes painted the same as my engine, so the caliper will be Bayside blue and the "Nissan" logo will be grey. Will post pics when it's back. Though i think it will be a while, gives me more time to save and spend more i guess!

Not a problem mate.

I will pm you the LED's I got.

Lol at speaker cover. Probably will rock up somewhere. But on a serious note, I'm sorry I could not help you there, although one is better than none.

Sweet, Calipers should look nice.

Or you could just buy these ;)

Its a heavy ass car and I've said it before and will say it again.

Skyline GTR's are severely under-braked from factory and I have even read somewhere that Nissan engineers admit to this being an issue.

Bigger brakes are a must for cars like these especially once power output has been increased.

You cannot go wrong by putting on a bigger brake package on them, unless its cheap ass crap from the land of nope!

Yes, they are heavyish cars - R32 GTR what - 1480KG?

Agreed, with everything you've said. But put it into context here - is a road R32 GTR under braked for typical street use?

I went from my Brembo setup (almost identical in size to the standard R32 GTR) to 8 Pot D2 Calipers with 356mm. Only diff is how well they hold up to *repeated* hard braking under track use.

If someone's frying standard brakes on public roads then it's only about time till something terrible is about to happen.

Yeah, I don't have anything against the standard brake calipers.

The problem is the standard rotors (surface area) is just too damn small for slowing a 1.5 -1.7 tonne car.

You can get away by upgrading to bigger rotors (new dog bones would have to be made) and will work fine.

Entirely up to the individual as to what they want to do and also depending upon the car been used on track (if track the choice is simple - big front upgrade kit at least)

I know whenever I step on the my brakes (AP Racing 6 pot calipers with only 343mm front rotors) I can certainly feel that they are far better than the standard calipers ever were even normal driving.

I don't drive my card hard enough to warrant the brakes. I'm never under heavy breaking like that, ever. New Rotors, good pads and good fluid will be fine for what i use my car for. Eventually i will get new brakes, but that can wait for now.

Yeah, I do enjoy the increased pedal modulation/control of the bigger setup. Feels awesome, but like I said before - if someone's pushing them that hard on the road then well.....

I'm going to use the D2's for a couple of years and if I'm still doing track days then i'll move to the AP's. AP's are a very nice setup and Racepace do a pretty good kit for a decent price.

btw Moving to 32Vspec/33/34GTR Brembos from the standard GTR 4 Sumitomo isn't the best value upgrade. Pad size is hardly any larger if you've ever seen the two side by side.

Also I think I saw someone selling a whole parcel shelf in the FS section during the week. Trying to find the link....

The only part i'm on the hunt for at the moment is the center console with cup holders (thats because they are a bitch to find, there was one on import monster last week but this pay i have nothing). The rest can wait till i get the car back. I'd say it will be a month at least till i get it back though.

Actually on that topic of having no moneys and spotting the center console. 8 months ago i found speaker covers but it was 1 week before payday, by the time i had the moneys they were gone. Nek Minute it took me 8 months to find another pair in good condition.

I can see the same thing happening with the center console. We will find out.

Pulled off the pedals and cleaned them with Jif last night. Much cleaner and was super easy. Whilst doing it i also scrubbed the "active speaker" writing on the speaker covers, they came up nice and silver again! I have also started to pull most of the bolts off from around the engine bay and swapping them for new ones. Will post pics when i have done a few more but it's amazing how much the little things make a difference.

More to come.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
