    are you just going to watch Steph? Jake and I will be in Carlton around 7.30ish, but I'm not bring my skyline, just in the ute coz its on LPG.
  2. vetter2769
    Scrutineering between 7.30 and 8.30, so nobody will be on the track till 9.30.. so spectators can show up late

    Bought Jakes Z tune front lip off him, and installed it today, looks so tough!! amazing how the smallest things can transform the whole front of the car, really brings it alive. Now for side skirts....

    I've just started experimenting with turbo blankets and heat wrap, currently have my mates 33 dump/front pipe wrapped, with a $40 turbo blanket and it makes a big difference, he had the same problem, you just could not put your hand on the pipe leading over the engine into the plenum it was incredibly hot, also his strut tower (turbo side) and strut brace would heat up it was ridiculous, now that problem has almost gone away thanks to some cheap wrap and a cheap blanket. No idea how long it will last but it appears to be good quality stuff, it has been on for only 1 decent drive, so can't report on longevity.

    +1 talk to scotty, get some X-spurts, there rather cheap and will suit your needs down to a T. This reminds me I need to talk to scotty.....

    oh I see... I wonder then if the electric fans weren't the problem, as I never had the shroud at all.. Anyway I'm very happy to have it back working properly. Now I can have my A/C on, on hot days again woo.
  13. vetter2769
    So after monitoring water temps for a while I noticed that it would never cool down on the HWY, temps only ever stayed the same or got hotter, also the max temp was 87 (with r33 Thermostat) and the coldest it would get - bottom hose was 50. This can be solely blamed on these shitty ebay electric fans I purchased, they actually block the flow of air and attempt to push air instead of the factory pull system. So I reverted fans back to stock and this solved my problem. Temps on the HWY would plummet, and the max top temp (after some hard pulls) was 85, and now sits on 81-83 on the HWY.... PERFECT! Lesson learnt - Fleebay electric fans are rubbish and would never use them again, at least not the push type... Stock fan shroud, stock clutch fan runs like a dream. also carbon fibre'd the air deflector on the GTR spoiler.
  14. vetter2769
    That stock Gtt spoiler was making children cry, so got a fibre glass replica GTR spoiler. Painted thanks to Adam from Body Shop Paint Supplies Geelong - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bodyshop-Paint-Supplies-Geelong/399859846777563 Was a bit of mucking around making it fit, but it came out pretty darn good #rememberthebuster

    So adding more to the story, my oil cooler that I bought was also a oil filter re-locator type deal, so mounted the oil filter on the plenum (cold side) easiest oil filter in the world to change! Also from the photo's you can see my Tomei FPR, with a pressure gauge in the bonnet (for the tuner), and also a fuel pressure gauge in the car, (as shown previously). Tv went in the boot Sparco wheel with momo quick release. This is how the car currently stands, the wheel has a bit of dish, which makes the indicator stalks a little to far to reach, so thinking of going back to a flat wheel.... suede of course! love the suede... And thats pretty much how the car sits atm I have a very clear understanding of what I want from my 34 now, and that is to have a street-able, and race-able car with incredible low down performance. I know what cars with big turbo and lots of lag feels like, and they just don't have accessible power down low... So really I want something like the stock turbo (10psi by 2700rpm) but with more room to move on power. So this is the list of mods to come - High flow stock turbo 1400 cc X-spurt injectors tomei pon cams power fc / z32 (already have) and other little bits and pieces. hoping that my clutch will hold out for now. I get most of my big cost parts through Jesse Streeter for those of you that don't know him check his shit out! --------> http://jessestreeter.com I've got him currently sending me a tomie bell mouth dump pipe, which will complete my 3' exhaust system, which is - dump -> front pipe (with bosch wideband plug and exhaust temp probe) into -> decat pipe (coz e85 smells nice) into -> HKS "not so silent" exhaust. I plan on taking more photo's in the future of things, and upload them here. Even if nobody reads the thread, its still great to have a diary, and perhaps something to show the future owner (if there ever is one!) So thats it for the moment, I shall report back with more mods soon - Dan

    So all these mods and I still wasn't happy with the sound system, being a car audio guy I needed my car to stand out from the rest, something I've wanted to do is have a car with a playstation or something crazy like that! I love the fold out dvd screens so I needed to incorporate that into my car, however you just couldn't fit one in the factory location as the screen would fold out over the A/C controls.... and that sucked... big time.... also It would conflict with the gear stick (((( mega downer.... So i thought about doing a GTR MFD conversion into my Gtt (like Charlse with the yellow Gtt) but that was going to cost me big time... So I thought why not combine the both and have the screen in the top location (like the GTR) but make it fold out kinda like Audi do it, only custom... So I pulled my dash apart again, and started chopping and moulding and fibre glassing and bogging and finally painting.... whole process took over a week, but was mega happy with the outcome. Pics - Andddd while we're at it lets throw the subs in the backseat.... because subs..... and to make way for a LCD screen in the boot.... yup.... Power inverter went in, PS4 went in, and final result - anyway that will do for tonight, will add more tomorrow

    Somewhere along the line I fitted a BLITZ SE fmic, and then not long after an oil cooler to go with it, (temps rose up over 110 at the drags) Also while doing my front mount, I added an extra hose with a funnel channeling air to the bottom of the pod filter, hoping to get some fresh cold air onto it. A bit before the drags I bought the standard Gtt rims, painted them white and wrapped them in nexun radials. before paint - after paint - notice how theres always good looking women in the after shot? never the before shot!?
  25. vetter2769
    So after some more tinkering, I got rid of the stock air box, replaced it with a apexi pod filter, and fitted a nice cold air box around it, gave it that nice woooooshhhh sound! Edit - forgot to mention the apexi neo piggy back ECU, tuned the car to 11.5 psi 210 rwkw annnddddd then off to the drags I went....
