I thought he just stripped them to sell for kebabs and kept the spicey shit for himself to build ironic LeMons cars?

 

Have you used the oil cap breather before fatz?

Looked like a good stop gap measure.

Going off topic here but you obviously track your gtr's unlike most owners.

What brakes are going on this thing? 

Simple setup

r35 front with dba rotors and winmax pads 380mm

rear are 6 piston brembo on a Hemi 300c 350mm dba rotor Winmax pads 

and having played brakes on a lot of gtr I went with a PE engineering full pedal box with adjustability

Yea had it on my last r33 did 6 years of track days (10-20 a year)

keep the oil cap connection open and put a one way valve on your catch can drain back

but I also run a external catch can scavenge pump (weldon external dry sump pump) which sucks the can dry over 6k rpm( this is just for extra f**k you oil control)

I've been looking at dry sump for my new motor  but with what I've learned froim tracking my old one and just general research I reckon I can setup a decent enough wet sump for little $$ My current setup is a mess of hoses but worked ,all rocker vents and sump into baffled, vented can with a sump drain. New motor shouldn't breath as heavy, will have bigger sump with some breather ports welded on etc. 

Got pics of this external scavenge setup? Belt driven or elec.

So much RB wisdom in one post.

Gtrs are for discussing whos oem parts are the cleanest now 

Hey I take offence at that! Oh no wait... totally me... (only cause i can normally win!)  ?

Seeing a bit of back and forth/pissing contest between 2 of my local car club guys, 280rwkw silvia and over 500awkw GT-R, both running the same times at winton (silvia now fractionally faster, both in the 1m27s bracket) both on the same slicks.

GT-R guy reckons he needs bulk coin to go any faster, Silvia guy just lunched his LS and is going to actually build one for something more than 280rwkw and reckons there's more lap time to be had easily.

I love GT-Rs, but are they really a good track platform? Heart says yes, brain says no :(

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
