PM-R33

Damn, who did you piss off this time? lol

None of the mods want to comment? lol

Awesome Cheers man

How did you go Luke? Did you send PSI Parts a PM?

Man that was quick! I was still fixing up spelling mistakes haha

Hey guys I have one more group buy that I have wanted to do before the year ends. Was going to hold this off till next year, but i'm impatient to do some more to the interior now that I got my R34 GTR seats For the past 2 months I have being speaking with many suppliers in Japan, Aus and the USA for a group buy on R34 GTR V Spec II Aluminium pedals. These are quite expensive items and go for around $300 from Nissan in Aus. This to me was WAY to much for pedals so I was determined to find a cheaper price that was more realistic to most people. Problem was a lot of people overseas could only deliver certain pedals and not the entire kit. The foot rest pedal was the hardest to obtain. Finally I found a supplier that could deliver the whole set from Nissan Japan and that supplier was Z1 Performance in the USA. With the Aussie dollar doing well I wanted to get in on this quick. The R34 GTR V Spec II was the first Skyline model to replace the normal rubber pedals with some nice aluminium ones. Not only were they nice looking replacements but the accelerator pedal also got an upgrade! The normal Skyline accelerator pedal is a rectangle and isn't ideal for quick heal-toeing actions. Nissan therefore made the V Spec II accelerator pedal have a curve in it to bring it closer to the brake pedal. The Jap spec Nissan 380RS also got this pedal while the normal 350Z had a rectangle pedal. These are a direct fitment for all R33 and R34 models. Stageas and Silvias will most likely also fit, but I can't gaurantee it. I believe the foot rest would be the only one that might be different. For the R32 models the foot rest base is slightly different. Therefore there is two options. Either try and fit a R33/R34 foot rest base or just fit the aluminium pedal but not have a 100% fit. Here is a link to see what it looks like on a R32: http://www.geocities.co.jp/MotorCity-Race/3293/foot.html As you can see, it aint perfect, but it's pretty good. You could easily fill the gap with something black to make it look better. If we can get 10 people involved in the group buy, instead of paying close to $300 we can get them for $169 Delivered Austalia wide. I honestly believe this is the cheapest you will ever get these. What the kit includes: 1 x R34 GTR V Spec II foot rest pedal 1 x R34 GTR V Spec II clutch pedal 1 x R34 GTR V Spec II brake pedal 1 x R34 GTR V Spec II accelerator pedal 2 x R34 GTR V Spec II accelerator bushes The two bushes are most likely needed on all cars because they clip on differently. I realise it is still a lot of money for pedals, but these are OEM quality that wont fall apart, are legal (unlike a lot of aftermarket pedals), replace your factory pedals and can be fitted by yourself instead of having to drill into the pedals or have some dodgy clip on style pedals and finally they will help with all the track boys heal-toeing I will keep the group buy opened until the 22nd of November. As with the other group buys, I will need payment within one week of the group buy closing and then will transfer the money to the US. It will take about 4 weeks after payment has been made to get the pedals due to supplies from Nissan Japan. So they will make a perfect Christmas present. I will then send them with express post to every one. If the group buy goes well and people don't make it into this one I can run another one if need be. Also for people with automatics, I have found a brake pedal for the auto that would match with the rest of the set. If there is enough interest into automatic pedals another group buy could be run. I will post up a DIY on how to fit them once they arrive but it is simply a matter of taking the rubber pedals off and putting the new ones on. (I took a few of my pedals off the other day to take some measurements and it was pretty easy). If you have any more questions feel free to let me know Cheers Phil BUY LIST 1. PMR33 2. FCUKINKY 3. .......... 4. .......... 5. .......... 6. .......... 7. .......... 8. .......... 9. .......... 10. ..........

It is a direct replacement of the cover yes. In my first post, you can see the cover sitting on the tiles. It will replace that whole thing.

Awesome! Can you jump on PSI Parts' website and make payment please Cheers man

Son of a bitch!

$32! Shit, maybe I will go grab it.

I'm actually curently looking into the price of the Nismo Z Tune steering wheel through a supplier that I am planning on doing a next group buy with. I think it is going to cost me my left kidney though lol. Still, will be interesting to see the price...

My head hurts

Son of a bitch! I never knew this I just did some Googling and yeah originally they were not available on PS3 but came out afterwards. Hmmm maybe I will sell my version and get the game of the year version, or maybe just get New Vegas. Descisions, descisions!

Pretty sure all states in Aus have that law. So yes it is true.

BIRDS it wasn't Newton, it was Archimedes Went along the lines of "Give me a long enough lever and fulcrum and I can move the world". Something like that any way.

Should be next week fingers crossed. I'll give them an e-mail this weekend to see if we are still on schedule. Also just a heads up, I now have a semi account with Hel due to doing so many kits with them. So I can pretty much get this same price for brake and clutch lines even as a one off sale (don't have to do big group buys anymore). So if any one wants anything just send me a PM. Cheers

lol silly boy. I'm winking because you are talking about fixed back seats like the OP (from January) was talking about. The dude that I qouted that bumped this thread is talking about reclinable seats and what ones are ADR approved.

Ummm your dyno graphs are way off. The first one is Hamish's HKS 2835 on a R33 not a HKS GT-RS on a R34. The second one is ment to be part of the last one; Hypergear.

I can only speak on a GT-RS and stock turbo since that is all that I have had on my car. Personally I love the GT-RS and could not praise it enough.

Some really good (and confusing/contradicting) points are being made by everyone. The shame about this argument is, that it is a very complex matter and add to the fact, there is more than one way to think about it. It is quite evident that a lot of us are saying the same thing, however we are thinking about it in a different way and explaining it in different ways. Personally in my mind, I can picture an engines behaviour a lot better with torque figures and then just a peak kw figure. Some people might not use that method of thought and prefer to use a different method. Is any on us wrong? No not really. It is just we have different ways of thinking about it. Power is a function of torque and RPM. It is the torque that you are increasing when doing modifications on an engine where gearing is remaining constant. If you have a stock GTST for example and up the boost, you are increasing the torque. The RPM points are remaining the same and therefore the power increase is due to the torque increase.

See I think that is the complete opposite. Lets say they qouted the power at 1300rpm, it works out to be 73kw. It doesn't really sound that impressive to the average person. Also how do you qoute the power from 1300rpm to 5200rpm easily? Given that the torque remains flat and constant, you could use a function: Power = (294.92x)/5252 between 1300-5200rpm Obviously that is out of the question. You could qoute power figures at every 1000rpm. Once again that is out of the question. The easiest and best way is to qoute the torque. Every one knows 400Nm is a lot. It is easy to say, "it holds it's peak torque of 400Nm from 1300-5200 and revs to 7000rpm." Straight away that small sentence tells me a hell of a lot about the engines behaviour. The only unknown in that case is how quickly the torque drops off from 5200-7000rpm. This is easily fixed by qouting "the peak kw figure of 225kw." I really doubt you could think of a easier way to explain the engine behaviour. Oh yeah no doubt, but by qouting the peak kw figure at 7000rpm it straight away lets you know it doesn't fall off to next to nothing like a diesel engine would. So in essence just to sum up what I think. I believe that qouting a low rpm torque figure in the case of selling a performance vehicle is very helpful. It lets you know how much power it will make down low and how easily it will "pull". Most people would know that once torque hits it's peak figure it will either hold for a while, or gradually drop down. It doesn't really spike/drop/spike/drop kind of thing. Finally qouting the peak kw figure at redline will let you know how much of a drop there is. If the peak kw figure is good at redline, you know it mustn't drop off that badly. This combined information is the easiest way to explain an engines behaviour (obviously without pulling out dyno graphs) to the general public and also gives a lot of information to the people that understand a lot about it.

Cheapest I found was on ebay man. That's where I purchased mine from.

Hahaha love it!

Hmmm I dont think I really agree; let's discuss Can we use the N54 BMW engine as an example due to it being modern, award winning and something similar to what we own (with it being a 3.0L TT straight 6) and the fact I can relate well to it in this discussion I have the sales brochure here with the BMW engine dyno graph. Peak torque of 400Nm arrives at 1300rpm (sorry I said 1200rpm in previous posts, it was ment to be 1300rpm) and holds flat of 400Nm until around 5200rpm and then starts to drop off to 280Nm at 7000rpm. Power is a peak of 225kw at 7000rpm. Now to me that seems like a shitload of torque throughout the revrange for a turbo car and hence why every one (including my dad that has driven one) says you can bearly feel the turbos coming on and it just feels like a V8 down low, but keeps pulling to 7000 without dropping off like a V8 normally would. So to me I don't really see why BMW mentioning the low RPM torque figure is a bad thing. Considering most consumers would assume a twin turbo 6 to have lag, mentioning this low down torque makes people go "Oh wow, thats quite a lot at 1300RPM for a turbo engine". See kind of what I mean?
