give or take a few years, you'll end up doing it LOL

more power, more torque, more response, more cheaper, less heat issues, less piping, less hoses to fail, less shuffle, less blown rear turbo

hahaha

So I bit the bullet and had the motor removed to do all the heater hoses along with anything else that popped up.

Plenty more nasty little surprises but at least its getting sorted and will help me sleep better now.

Here's some progress pics.....all new genuine Nissan hoses.

So motors all back in now and running well.

While it was out I had the plenum painted wrinkle black to match everything else once I get round to it.

Have just had some new Hankook Rs-3 tyres fitted and I'm off to get a wheel alignment this arvo and that should be it ready for this weekends hillclimb.

Nothing feels better than KNOWING that everything is right. All the little things are taken care of. Then you can have the spirited drives with out that little niggle at the back of your mind.

Just a note if you already haven't replaced them are the two plastic connectors on the firewall. One at the back of the plenum which just connects two water hoses and the other behind the cam cover for the heater hose junction. They are prone to fall apart from the inside and flick plastic pieces into your coolant system. Well worth replacing if you haven't already.

A few pics from the weekends hill climb (I believe it is the fastest speed hill climb in Australia)

I think I was the slowest in my class but I had a ball and managed to drive there and home so can't complain about that. (Unfortunately some weren't so lucky :()

Time for some more suspension work ready for the next one in August.

ye there's vids on youtube, search 'R32 GTR crash mt alma 2016'

Never like to see that happen obviously but this guy especially was a top bloke, was really cut up afterwards obviously.

Another GTR (32) and a few evo's had some pretty big offs too :-/

ye Glyn, I think it was a case of just too much speed, I chatted to him afterwards but didn't go into the details, doesn't look too fast but I believe he was somewhere around 170-180kph around there :-/

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
