Hi you guy down there!

I am in England and have just picked up my pride and joy which I ahve been without for nearly 2 months with the modifications being done

Just had a custom made rear spoiler from APR put on, the lambo doors, and the full Bomex kit.

Just wondered whether you have seen a 34 with these before, have searched around and think they its the only one in existance. I know they aren't to everyones tastes but believe me when I say I've done it properly. The kit I got was of superb quality and opens up like a normal door first to save buggering the door up.

Hope to hang around and see what you lot up to and whether you do it better than us - maybe!

All the best guys

that is s*x on wheels!!!

Mate i gotta give you full credit for that.... BEAUTIFUL!!!

What wheels are they? were did you get the wing? and where did ya get the doors.

I have a 33 but if i ever get a 34 would be very happy with it looking like that!!!

WELL DONE!

Thanks for the nice comments - I know its not to everyones tastes but it certainly makes an impression whether you like it or not - guess everyones cars has something that others don't like - thats what makes this game so much fun!!

The bodykit is Bomex which I had shipped from Japan.

The wing was custom made for me by a company in the US. Its by APR and is the GTC-300 spec. I saw the shape on a Celica and got them to make me one specially for my car, sent over the specs etc and they made it - the quality is outstanding and they are now thinking of making it for the liner as a result - cool! Looks huge in the pics but it does suit. Not very good pics, got professional ones being done soon and hopefully mag feature

The door hinges were from a company in the US also. http://www.tunerracing.com/ I did order the 'showstopper' kit which is fully remote controlled, motorised doors with solenoid etc. But htey just WOULD NOT fit behind the wings. Going to be using them for the bonnet and boot probably.

The speedball is a copy of the Gumball that I have created - I went to enter the Gumball and it was £10,000 (don't know conversion rate). So I have created my own - check it out at http://www.speedball2005.co.uk/ We are doing 9 countries in 4 days over 2000 miles. Its in its first year but already have 20 paid up and entered and the event is taking place in July.

The car is pretty boring in terms of perfomance - Stage 1 mods pushing out 315 bhp. Its the tiptronic one becaue I'm lazy and its plenty fast enough for anyone who has driven them. There is lots of traffic in the UK so a manual is a workout!!

Few more pics as requested......

Hey whitey,

315bhp is nice..

But Whats a Stage 1 Mod? Is that a Gran Turismo thing?

What have you done to it performance wise to get this figure, or are you not really concerned with the cars performance at this point..

Cheers mate,

Don't know how you guys define your tuning over there. Over here, tuning is done in 4 stages

Stage one mods consist of Exhaust, Induction Kit, De-cat and boost controller.

Stage 2 - uprated turbos etc, remap

Then the steel internals etc etc etc and so on

Not too fussed about the power tbh, its really quicka nd it only becomes a problem when you start upgrading stuff. Its the tiptronic so can only go up to 350bhp in real terms cause of the gearbox. Got 2000 miles (3600k) to do in July for the speedball so need it in good order!

How do you guys do things in terms of upgrading your bits and pieces (still talking about the car!)

(Pentae - that is the coolest film ever - childhood favourite!)

      So after some Chat GPT (yeah I know lol..) it turns out that the R35 GT-R BMC conversion may not be suitable for our shit boxes as it splits the fluid 60:40 instead of 70:30. When looking at possibly doing the 370Z conversion, it seems it's quite similar to how the R35 GT-R booster & BMC mounts up, however after some additional digging the 370Z BMC bore is the same size as a R33/34 GT-R BM57 one. Brake Pressure Split: Nissan 370Z: The typical front-to-rear brake pressure ratio for the 370Z is approximately 70:30. This is designed to handle the car’s weight distribution and performance characteristics, favoring the front brakes heavily due to weight transfer during braking. Nissan R33 GT-R: The front-to-rear brake pressure ratio for the R33 GT-R is also typically 70:30. However, this ratio is tuned for the GT-R's specific weight distribution and dynamic performance, considering its all-wheel-drive system and higher performance expectations. Despite having the same nominal 70:30 ratio, the actual distribution of braking force in practice can be different due to other factors like vehicle weight, ABS and EBD systems, and brake component sizes. Bore Sizes: The bore size of a brake master cylinder affects the hydraulic pressure generated within the braking system and can vary between different vehicles based on their braking requirements. Nissan 370Z: The brake master cylinder typically has a 1-inch (25.4 mm) primary bore. The secondary bore can vary slightly depending on specific trim levels and brake options, such as the Nismo version or those equipped with the Sport Package which features larger brakes. Nissan R33 GT-R: The brake master cylinder in the R33 GT-R generally has a 1-inch (25.4 mm) primary bore as well. Given the GT-R's high-performance context and advanced braking system, the bore size is designed to provide sufficient hydraulic pressure for its braking needs. Comparison: Brake Pressure Split: While both vehicles use a similar 70:30 ratio in the brake master cylinder design, the actual operational distribution might differ slightly due to differences in brake system components, vehicle dynamics, and tuning for each model. Bore Sizes: Both the 370Z and R33 GT-R use a master cylinder with a primary bore size of around 1 inch (25.4 mm). This similarity helps in providing robust hydraulic pressure for effective braking. Additional Considerations: Braking System Design: The overall brake system, including calipers, rotors, and the master cylinder, is designed to work as an integrated unit. Even with similar bore sizes and pressure splits, the performance and feel of the brakes can differ due to variations in brake pad composition, rotor size, and ABS tuning. ABS and EBD: Both vehicles are equipped with Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), which further modulate and optimize braking force between the front and rear wheels dynamically, depending on driving conditions and brake demand. In essence, while the 370Z and R33 GT-R have some similarities in their brake master cylinder specifications, they are tuned to meet the specific performance and handling characteristics of each vehicle.   TL;DR, just use a R33 BM57 and call it a day.

      Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Straight thru's have so little restriction that it's almost certainly not worth worrying about effects on tuning. Even a centre offset shouldn't upset things, but would be noticeably more effective (quiet).

      Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I did say "2x Magnaflows" then referred to a Varex. So to un-confuse that, my rear muffler is hot-swappable with a Varex. When I had a RB Turbo, I had the 2x Magnaflows, then went LS and though "Oh that's way too loud" and ordered a Varex. A mid muffler will definitely help a lot, even if straight through. SP Mufflers can make anything as big or as small as possible, which will help even more. Looking at my own exhaust I could make the muffler twice as long if I wanted to. Or you could go crazy and get 2x mufflers from SP and full every remaining space with muffling. In my experience closing the Varex makes the car run VERY rich (obviously). I'd say adding a muffler *will* affect things, on a technical, physics level, but I don't think you'd need a retune as the actual effect would be the car running a *tiny* bit richer due to more restriction, on a strictly physics level, but you kind of don't have any option if you want the car to make less sound.

      My BMW 335i

      I must have read 100 DIY's and watched 200 DIY Youtube videos with most people saying just grab a new cover and, well, despite my normal aproach to these things (replace it all!!) I didn't get a cover. I don't know why I didn't, I'd already ordered a bunch of bits from FCP and it would have made perfect sense to put that in the order.  Anyway, I'm not getting OEM as its just crazy money, even from the states its 900 ish delivered. So, I got an OE Elring one, same as they sell at FCP but local so I can get this fixed this week. Our X5 is waiting for a new diff so we find ourselves in a common scenario of having 2 broken BMW's on the driveway! 🤣

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Big thing is available inputs for sensors and not having to run multiple expander boxes and software packages for different things why motec is up there. The link ecu and an aim pdm32 was a combination I looked at early on so get ecu, dash and pdm in one go. Aim logging software is pretty good and has all the tracks I will ever drive. Having logging setup with tracks already available is a big thing for myself so can click drop down and go. Thing that I keep seeing is the support what's needed and having a package that people in the know are familiar with as learning a new platform is time consuming.    Got a few boxes that arrived with bits while I was away so hopefully will fit a few sensors and make a start on the dump pipe today. Going to be interesting fitting a 3.5 inch exhaust on this and keeping it above the chassis rails.
