Andrew... hpoe it all comes together for you, look forward to hearing your feedback on the upgrade:thumbsup:

Im starting to think i may not have rubber for the weekend, my holiday pay has been short paid, and im still not back in melb to get tyres and do some maintenance on the car. You fark'n take holidays and end up working when you should be on leave ...FARK IT!!!!!! That combined with the fact that here it is 7.50pm and im still at work and will be lucky to be out of here by 11pm as im on a 9.45am flight in the morning and this sh1t needs finishing:(

So not finished feeling sorry for myself...:rant:

I suppse i will have to accept the fact that im full of sh1t and ill never do the lap times i think the car might have been capabel of :chairshot :chairshot :chairshot

Brisby - the reason we all love you mate is that despite all the drama's you seem to constantly have we can be sure that come Sunday morning you will be the happiest bloke with the biggest smile on his face no matter what the circumstances are.

:P

On another matter - without going through the last 121 posts in this thread there is apparently someone from SAU doing driver training this weekend? Firstly Hung (WRX Club Motorsport Director) has let me know that he still hasn't received your entry form. And secondly has let me know that both Scotsman and I will be sharing your driver training duties for the day. Unless you'd prefer lessons from Brisby?

And dont hate me for posting here, but its as good a place as any, but if someone is looking for some track rims with semi slicks then im selling my 17" AVS rims with still legal semis, as i just bought some new 18" street rubber

Can i give them a try before i buy on sunday???

I find this one to usually be acturate.

Still says fine for Sunday. Fingers crossed it is.

I hope the weather is good, but it's not looking promising when on saturday it says "rain" --> sunday "fine and mainly sunny" ---> monday "showers". We'll see though!

Áll together boys

Ooh Ahh GTR.

:cheers:

Just starting to discover how much better the 33 GTR drives over a couple of drives in different 32 GTRs I got to punt pretty hard some time ago, so if the 34 is that much of a step up again....well....Snowie you cheaterer :)

Hey young Geoff, what are the chances of a tune up in the morning, i need to dump my fluids, chnage/flush pads & fluid, cut open my hammered front bar and perhaps look at new plugs.????

Thought id swing by and have a look at the new car as well as do some spanner work for Sunday if the car isnt getting in the way:)

Cool, ill do it now then, just didnt want to put 800kms on fresh sump of oil, would have rathered until i got to Melb, all goo. Keep an eye out for me ont he late night news, ill see if i can roll my car, catch on fire, do something spectacular to spark up the long drive

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
