R33 Rb25 Koyo Rad *brand New* $490
bcozican replied to bcozican's topic in For Sale (Car parts and other accessories)
Also fits r33 gtr and r34 gtt neo -
Have had the car back for a few weeks, roof is all painted and good - still rocking the old broken bonnet still till the new one comes in We made up some s/s plates to cover the hole from the flush ones that broke and go back to 'normal' bonnet pins they worked well and might paint this black and use them on the new bonnet as they increase surface area connecting to the bonnet etc Gtr bar has been painted put on with cf jun style lip and ally air guide painted also Also put a shroud on too, havent run one of these in ages ! so all ready and sorted when out to a tuning day to have a run 2 laps in coolant pissing out of the bonnet I came in had a look packed it back on the trailer and went home... im mean seriously !! Alas, seems something random was thrown from the fan into the radiator causing a small hole - bye bye radiator At this stage by myself and my helper ... were pretty much just over it but alas, while waiting for my newly ordered Koyo rad I put my old CA koyo in bleed up the cooling system and headed out to the same track 7 days later to have anoth crack, so persistant ! The car ran absolutely floorlessly... did a good 40 plus laps. Was great to get seat time and see the cars potential and to hold up to a hammering it was designed to do finally ! pretty happy.... So smiles on face laoded up went home put the car in the garage still on the trailer so have cleaned it up on the weekend and about to embark on my first circuit outting driving straight at barbagallo this Thursday night

R33 Steering Rack Spacers?
bcozican replied to ryzan's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
^^ as above best rack options are s14/ s15 - should all fit size wise just have to re-route some p/s lines -
So roof has been repaired and off to paint today - stoked what he did with it - stretched and shrunk the metal etc rather than just bogging it up only used 300g odd of bog he said Also while car is out of action and there is painting going on sorted out my gtr front bar which is off to get painted also - putting the Jun style cf lip on it and because the intercooler sits so far back mucked around and completed an ali air guide for it should do the trick
-
not that hard really - admittedly we had a tempate to work off as other cars I know had it done first but make a template out of card then after a rough cut out a few cuts and shaves to get it to fit properly initally but once you make one side of one side up then just use it as a template and you can bang out the other 3 pretty quickly and weld tops and bottoms together for support. yes cutting, grinding and drilling but can be done at home if your half handy... i cant weld but mate did that bit for me I like you are not up with the full massive techincals but my suspension / wheel aligner guy over here knows what he is on about and pointed me in this direction

If you want rear lca's level can mod your current s13 subrame by changing the pick up point ( as Roy pointed out) I have done this to my s14 subframe and created a 'ladder' system for the front pick up point with various level adjustment in it?? Is this what you and others mean ? Also cheap otion for the front for width is s14 or r333 front Lca's also about 10 - 15mm wider per side
-
I did find improvements for rear grip by doing the swap as have others I know have done it ... without all the swanky xyz gear to measure actual improvement at our level of racing you'll have to go off other peoples opinions and evidence though unfortunately Ive had it for so long now I have to try and remember the changes from one to the other but I do remember the difference going from one to the other I think s13 rear LCA's would be same length as r32 ones? if so id see if you can source some std s14 LCA's - shouldnt cost much This is going by memory but im pretty sure when I first put in the s14 cradle I didnt have to adjust anything to do with my swaybar ..I did have whiteline sway and endlinks though that did have some adjustment in it...maybe someone else can confirm there ?
-
I did my s14 rear subframe on r32 gtst but they the same as s13 cradles S14 subframe is approx 5 - 10mm wide a side, I dont know if your std s13 arms will fit though. I had adjustable rear camber arms up top but at first everything else I used was standard s14 stuff down low (ie: toe arms and rear LCA's) You will need offset solid bushes as you said, and I needed a S14 back plate for my diff to fit it in (shorter), also 3 out of 4 cars I have helped with doing this to have needed the rear chassis rail slightly 'massaged' up about 5 - 10 mm to clear the subframe Im trying to get my memeory on now to back when i forst did it with standard gear but im pretty sure sway bar mounts were fine Its 'easy' if you get the right bits and put in the time etc... but its also not as easy as you might think time wise always took longer than we thought haha

Pretty sure it depends what NOS kit you have etc Everyone I know running it on rb25's has it controlled by the ecu (mainly Vipec) to switch on at 2500 switch off at 4500 ish rpm when Vct kicks in yo for the exact reason you state to take away a bit of lag No diagrams or anything from me though sorry

how wide can I go? (r32 GTS-t)
bcozican replied to CerealKiller's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
17 x 9 + 30 with 235 tyre fit fine on the front but may need a roll on the back, depending on ride height -
Some have seen some not I'll put this here while its clean before something goes wrong with it given my luck atm

Oh dont worry you guys not the only ones to get nervous ... no one could believe it really. They are genuine they were a year old (just sitting in packet) till I put them in. They have survived other trackdays and this was about the 25th lap for the day and 3rd lap in for the session so they were in properly. I could see the bonnet getting its shake / lift on each time down the back straight but have seen it before and many a time on other cars I dont have a speedo but another car there recons he hitting 192 in same spot and I was quicker so was honking along but yeah Maybe I am just friggin unlucky but I will be going back to normal bonnet pins regardless and prob run 4 haha Just wanna spend coin on seat time tyres and fuel not fixing... but thats racing

New engine is in and tuned on Friday morning - all went well, solid no problems Out to a tuning afternoon Friday afternoon - great to get some really decent seat time and just drive My lines were terrible and have lots to learn but also wasnt really concentrating too hard on that moreso just driving and getting use to / enjoying the car. Its quick in straight line and has ample braking atm just tried different damper settings etc to see what would work and not I must have done something bad to someone up there as I have no luck at the moment...top of 4th gear back straight bonnet pins sheared off and I got the bonnet meeting the windscreen and roof real quick, so annoying bonnet and windscreen easily replaced ... roof is arrrrgghhhhh and will be tough to fix properly as its over half the roof.... at least you can still drive it with a bent roof....just wouldve been nice to keep it nicer for longer but will fix Pics with mates 2jz s14 on Track

R34 Vspec Ii Brembo On R32 Gtst
bcozican replied to Civick20's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
I would say braking bias would change given your are increasing the size of the fronts relative to the std rears... peeps can correct me if Im wrong but Im pretty sure the overall amount the rears contribute to braking is minimal so effects could / should be minimal i know lots of people that only get bigger fronts so I think its a well stepped path? -
R34 Vspec Ii Brembo On R32 Gtst
bcozican replied to Civick20's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Im using BM50 on my r32 gtst with r34 brembo's feels good BM44 did okish too pedal was just a bit too spongey for me so Id say BM50 or BM57 depends on the pedal feel you like but you wont know till you try it -

Tyres That Dont Smoke Up?
bcozican replied to IM-32-FK's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
based off drifting experience some tyre just dont really smoke ..pretty rare though. its the compound in them ie: (run flats dont smoke up or some cheapies that are hard so they last longer). So they are either crap tyres with xyz compound or they might be an old build date -
