  1. Yes they fit on fine, they use the same boot holes to mount up.
  2. Have you got the aircon fan that sits next to the radiator?

  4. FRP = Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic, its Fibreglass as everyone knows it. I'll get Shane to put up a picture when he returns tomorrow.
  5. Was a great weekend. I was there helping out Brett Holdsworth (Who took the Commodore Cup Round Win, and leads the championship, mainly due to our truly awesome pitstop haha). Ryan did a pretty good job in the Astra too, I certainly don't envy him driving a FWD car around that track. Although you can't go past the Evo which had a 54sec (from memory) delay in starting.
  6. We use and recommend: C & A Super Finish 3 James St Clayton South VIC 3169 Phone:(03) 9544 4565 Tell them PSI Parts sent you.
  7. They are a direct bolt on, see our Project Car for pictures. Not rolling of guards was done either. We run 265 All round!
  8. Missed that one somehow, PM replied.
  9. Hey mate, got the engine bay aircon fan and windscreen wiper nozzle pumps left?
  10. I've got one from a Series II (Our project Car was converted to MAP), I'm in Sydney. PM me if you are keen.
  11. No, they are different due to the wider guards of the GTR.
  12. It will need to be cut and re-fibreglassed as it will sit outside of the guards.
  13. I got mine from VEK Tools, http://www.vektools.com.au/
  14. No worries, let me know.
  15. A few pictures of my CP Jack
  16. Dry Ice seems to do the trick with the interior.
  17. I'm pretty sure we have run out of stock on the R34 stuff. I will edit this if I find anything though.
  18. Came out of Turn 8 a little sideways in damp conditions. Was oversteering a bit and I continued to put the power down and started a 4 wheel slide. Backed off a little and it did straighten up but got the right rear on the mud and lost control from there onto the grass. Tore it off nicely haha. Surprisingly didn't get a single cop look twice on the drive back to Sydney, even had 5 driver training guys in an unmarked car come inspect the car in the garage before I left. Doing 1.11's on the day (first time I've been there) however had quite a few issues with the synchro's and excessive oil breathing. The Federal Semi-Slicks were not really providing the kind of grip I expected, however that might be due to them sitting in storage for a while, as I went overseas for 6 months. I just got a Haltech/Racepak dash so once that goes in I should have some good data to analyse and get times down.
  19. I was planning on running a tank with baffles and then to the exhaust.
  20. Follow the Cars progress at: http://www.psiparts.com.au/project.htm As the car's power was going to be increased, so is the need to pull it up. Therefore an upgrade in all of the brakes components was necessary. We chose an OEM upgrade for ease of install (use the stock master cylinder) and for reduced costs compared to complete aftermarket options. Keeping it within the family, we went for the R33 GTR Brembo Brakes Front and Rear. Parts Upgraded: - ADR Approved Braided Brake Lines Front and Rear - Brembo Brake Fluid - RDA Turbo Groove Rotors (Slotted and Dimpled) Front and Rear - RDA Red Stuff Pads for an Aggressive Bite (Street/Track) Before After After conducting a few light stops from 60km/h to start the bed-in process, followed by harder stops the pads had seated in nicely. It was then time to try a few 100km/h stops in a controlled environment. Obviously the larger rotor size has made a massive difference in the braking distance however our main objective was to ensure that brake fade did not occur, which can only really be tested at the track An 'Off the Streets' Wakefield track day provided a perfect chance to give the brakes a good working over and test their limits. As this set-up is by no means extreme we started off taking things easy and then gradually working towards full stops from 200km/h coming off the main straight. They performed very well to pull up a car that weighs in at around 1300kg. After 5 hard laps there was no sign of brake fade and depending on how hard you are driving the ABS didn't seem intrusive. Brake fade might be an issue for extended laps however monitoring things like oil temperature usually restrict how many laps you will do in a row. Brake dust was also very low with these pads, however I believe that there is room for a much harder brake pad come the next track day. The rotors were chosen mainly because of price and the fact they are only dimpled (to keep strength within the rotor, as cross drilling has been known to crack during hard driving). Time will tell if the rotors will wear down quickly and whether or not its best to invest in a more expensive rotor that might potentially last longer, however the pad used obviously has a massive part in this. More on this as time goes on. Overall this was a great upgrade as it's very easy to fit and all items are straight from the shelf.
  21. No, I was very lucky not to damage any of the headlights, fenders or intercooler.That's racing though
  22. Just been thinking about solving my problem of excessive breathing and looking for a quick fix instead of dealing with the problem (blown rings) and it got me thinking about venting to the exhaust system, like the V8 boys did (using the Moroso Exhaust Nipple). There are obvious limitations depending on where you plumb it into, like clogging up o2 sensors and cat (If you actually run one). It does however have the added benefits of never needing to empty a catch can and removes gasses under vacuum. Keen to hear pros and cons?
  23. We are in Dandenong (see website for details). We will be open tomorrow during the day, and Mon - Fri 10am - 4pm. However it's best to call before coming down to make sure someone is there.
  24. Fixed Width is 670mm with a core thickness of 50mm.
  25. Pics are in the links below the item description. I'll have to measure the core size, but other than that its a direct replacement of the factory one.
