They are big donks! And they sound mint!!

Yep I'm ex-westrac so I'll claim that compliment [emoji12]

No bull shitting out at westrac. Especially with the rebuild, dyno guys. And the men who sign cheques. It's a well known fact with in the industry that you know your stuff. Then move on to bigger pay days! 2 x dyno guys, 2 x mechanics, 2 x guys that pay the bill. Fully questioned on all steps, I honestly find it easier to work with those guys than lackeys. Broke down the quote with every single section of the processes costed and explained with pictures and drawings, plus induction time, travel time, materials list and labour break down. Good knowledge and fun.

Hmm locally available k-frame? (Australia) From a rear end jobbie. Seen a few places in wa that do half cuts? Would be expensive though?

Good times to work around a rb30 they sit alot higher and it would need mods?

Forward facing plengam and a low mount  manifold is pretty much it. I may modify the mpunts to drop the motor for center of gravity helping. Iv toyed with the radical idea of putting the rad in the boot and having the quater windoes as air intakes....

Its literally the rail across the top where the rad bolts too, the panel that sits under the washer bottle and a bumper rio. Bonnet and bumper will be carbon or fiberglass. New under tray will be mild steel and go from front bumper lip to rear subframe

Trick.

Love my front plenum. Is it a 26? No. Where is the bov? Look harder. She's frying the 245's in 1/2. Need to look at new coil overs won't sit and squat since I lifted the ride height? Tramping. All the rear bushes Look good?

Coilovers wont help tramping, too stiff a coilover and low profile tyres dont mix. More side wall = better traction but reduces lateral loading. Less side wall = worse traction but better lateral loading. Then u have to think contact patch, right width for right power.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
