No Crust Racing

I considered head studs too, apparently doing them 1 by 1 is OK.

Odd. Done a comp test? You still running stock headgasket? I really want to crack 450rwhp because it's a nice round number, but not sure how hard I want to lean on the motor.

No updates Did you find out where the top end went? Your original posts about e85 talked about 340rwkw...

So did you get the clutch sorted?

SOLD ITEMS ARC Titanium Gearknob. Bodyform Top Secret style FRP diffuser. Rays red wheel nuts. Standard guards in silver.

Pics of Fan? Is the fan the same across all RB26s?

Will also soon have the following bits. Tomei stainless manifolds. Tomei stainless dumps. Full exhaust including after market front pipe, 3" exhaust, 3.5" at the muffler. I may keep the cat though as it's stock. Stock manifolds. Manifold shields. Full set of oil/coolant lines from turbo side. Stock turbos. Stock cam gears PowerFC with hand controller AFMs

Console lid plastic frame/legs?

A few R35 owners are going to see some rapid depreciation.I wonder how much of an issue the lack of localisation will be (switch gear etc) or more importantly how quickly the aftermarket will fix that issue.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

As per Iron Chefs FB post linking to this article - http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/feb/10/australians-to-bypass-car-dealers-and-import-directly-from-japan-and-uk Are we all expecting that to have a good or bad impact on import prices? Easier access will hopefully mean more competition, but more demand might also see prices not drop. I wouldn't mind an R35 down the track and I'm guessing they will be cheaper for us under this scheme, but in turn that will drop the value on my 34 perhaps.

More info on that Gauge Art setup? How does that interface with the R34 MFD? Can you switch between the Haltech display and the R34 MFD display? There doesn't appear to be any text on those gauges to say what they are?

Time consuming/expensive? I know nothing about plasti dip

Thanks for the tip

I'll have to call around and get some quotes.

That stuff looks good, but whether I can get it here is another thing.

I thought car bras were known for scratching paint?

OK, let me rephrase. Has anyone had any direct experience with the 3M clear film or plasti-dip for these purposes?

That won't protect the bonnet, head lights, gaurds or splitter.

I have no idea what ceramic clear is so not sure if trolling or not.

Given the type of track day I'll likely attend, I imagine I'll be over taking at least a few people.

My GT-R has a freshly painted front end and I'd like to keep it that way. What's the best/easiest way to protect the paint at a track day?

That's the type of thing I'm talking about. Right time, right conditions, throttle pinned, back off at the lgal highway speed, drop into 6th and smile. Not clutch kicks, traffic light grand prix and hectikly dosing pedestrians.

I was having a "robust" discussion" with my partner last night about the intended usage of my soon to be tuned 34. Given the cars value, fresh paint, and the risk of cosmetic and mechanical damage, I have no intention of heavily tracking the car (I have a dedicated track car for that). I fully admit that whilst I'm now respectful of the road rules and a law abiding citizen (I was once neither of those things when it came to cars and almost lost my license) I do intend to occasionally, and where safe to do so, pin the throttle to the firewall for the odd highway on ramp blast. My comment was, there are instances where road conditions, road choice, lack of traffic, time of day etc can allow for "safe speeding" or at the very least safe WOT acceleration to a safe and legal speed. My point being there's little if any more risk than when I'm at the track (granted I have a roll cage/ firesuit etc, but I'm also going much faster and driving a lot harder). Her concern, and completely valid, is that even when removing the risk of hurting someone else (something I am passionate about when I tell people to take it to the track) should something go wrong, there's a much higher likelihood of serious injury (trees, culverts, drains etc) than at a race track. So, what do you think/ Is there such a thing as "safe" speeding/rapid acceleration. OR is that something we just tell ourselves exists because we haven't crashed/been caught "yet"? To give some context, I'm 33, have owned a number of performance cars, almost lost my license once, haven't had a speeding fine in almost a decade now. Adding your age might be useful in adding some perspective to your view.
