Dose Pipe Sutututu

Very common theme with people building older cars, no defined requirements and goals down pat from the start. You need to define what the car's intent will be, what you require in terms of power delivery, etc. E.g. you want a responsive street/circuit car, with a wide powerband for the circuit but also want it all in at 4k rpm so you can take corners in 3rd gear. Once that's all defined, at that point is where you go and look at your car's constraints and limitations. What can you do to work around them, e.g. you don't have VCam or VCT, then you might look into advancing the intake cam, etc. to bring it on earlier and knowing you're happy to sacrifice top end because you don't need to ring it's neck out at the track. Often you see people just chasing a kW number and not thinking about anything else at the start of the build to be awfully disappointed at the end result.

You can plumb back the external gate, also you'll find most that race on the circuit primarily plumb back their gates to comply with noise regulations and also reduce distractions whilst racing. Not all of us here on this forum are drag racers/street racers/roll racers so your generalisations are just that, a generalisation.

Yes, if not you'll have a hard time trying to remove the balancer. Not saying it's impossible but you'll be swearing less, and not damaging your radiator in the process. Also probably good time to inspect the radiator and replace if required.

Oh man, you had your chance and wasted it 😂

Just put in a Nismo dash with 30k kms on it, someone will go wow.. such low kms 😂

It's like have a hot missus you don't oots oots once in a while. What's the point? I'm sure Brett will give it a oots oots lol.

Nice! If that's the case, just install that sensor on plenum outlet. You're sampling water that is being expelled out from the motor, you would assume it's the best location.

Personally I would use your ECU to control the fan, the OEM water temp sensor on the outlet from the plenum would be the best spot to sample water temperature. If you use a SSR or an OEM fan controller (from another car)you could even duty cycle your fan so it gently ramps in as water temperature increases and say goes from 30% duty at 75°C and to 100% by 85°C as an example. Far more sophisticated and superior than an on/off thermo switch. Makes everything a bit more premium.

Plot twist, @PranK implemented ChatGPT bots to bring a bit more life into the forums.

~110km/h road speed on a Mainline roller dyno is about 4000RPM with a 4.08 rear diff, give or take.

I would be interested in this too, especially with the T4 1.06 divided rear housing

In some parallel universe, I would have a multi-bay garage and have multiple toys but in this current universe I am only allowed one shit box from a space and finance perspective 😆 I did have one person message me on IG asking if I wanted their BMW + cash, however it wasn't of the right age nor was it a M car.

I supposed we're married for a reason lol.

And add in all the times I shouted mates dinner, drinks, Jap BBQ, bottles of whisky, slabs of beer, etc. then add in my time tuning, wiring, hiring dynos, it becomes seriously stupid. Hence a stock M3 F80 just makes more sense now. Slap on some R compound and out of the box it will do faster lap times than the shit box could ever do.

Yep, I kept a spreadsheet.. and yes it has over 320+ items. It also excludes any maintenance parts like brakes/rotors/oils/plugs, etc.

close to 100k in parts spent/installed/to be installed on a shit box R33 GTS-t I entertained the idea of leaving the Nissan world last night to my wife, she said something along the lines of (including the profanity: "no fking way, you're going to sell it and one day bring home another shit box. I prefer if you keep this shit box"

Welcome back to the Skyline Autism Club. Where we are all not normal for spending copious amounts of money on these shit boxes. Follow me for more tips on how to waste money.

very porno wheels! Yeah the RS-4 tyres are quite meaty compared to other tyres.

A cheaper alternative (with the same coils) is to get the one from efisolutions https://www.efisolutions.com.au/coil-conversion-kit-rb-to-r35-gtr If you have a NEO head https://www.efisolutions.com.au/coil-conversion-kit-rb25-neo-to-r35-gtr You have the option of choosing R35 coils or 370Z as well. No PRP tax.

It already runs a N1 oil pump. A nice big sump would be good insurance.

I get so triggered seeing these red or yellow coils.

Jesus now that's support! Definitely a massive win!

have they released the canbus keypad integration for them yet? They were working on it for a while, but no idea if it's released to market. Means you won't need to torch any inputs for switches.

It's actually not a STI but some JDM import. He's thinking of getting rid of it too and buying a modern fast car, like a i30N or a M2 non Comp.
