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 :(

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
