Was this car at JEM last week?

It was on the dyno i think. Was the engine built by Autosport? Heard you have had some bad luck with engines?

ah its no drama..one night of snow and light and flufffy...Was too smashed xmas too put it in the garage and we had 50cm overnight..Fairly common here..Only damage was my body..shocking hangover and hour to shovel the car out..

A snow flake is light and fluffy, that on the other hand is not so light and fluffy.

ie: 1 tonne of feathers is still as heavy as 1 tonne of iron.

But i was mainly referring to the environmental conditions the car is in and all the inherent issues that it will cause over time.

Where do you think every other Skyline in Australia came from?

The enviroment here is super dry in winter, much much drier than say most places in oz, thats why so many aussies come here for the snow, its the driest on the planet. Car is normaly garaged ! Seeing I've been here for nearly 10 years my concern to you would be the fact A) I know the history of my car

(B) most cars here sit in car lots for god knows how long without being started before they ever make it to auctions and they cop the full brunt of weather and acid rain,

© most japanese drivers wouldnt have a clue where the dip stick is..they drive their cars, put petrol in , and most dont dervice their cars until they have to do rego (shakken) which is every 2 years..

Trust me, a bit of snow is nothing compared to what I've seen some GTR's go thru before being shipped off to auction..

I'd take 50cms of Hokkaido light fluffy super dry snow sitting on my car for 1 day anytime compared to harsh aussie climate.

What's your point???? :D

Not all imports come from the snow covered mountains. The cheaper ones are covered with rust due to the salt roads in these areas. Just raising the question whether someone would buy a cheaper import if they saw the car covered in snow, like that one was.

^^ thats mint.

rekn you should swap the wheels off your GTST tho, and lower it a tad :D

Cheers ;)

I actually sold the work wheels of the gts25t a couple of weeks ago, they wouldnt have looked very good on the gtr because of their sizes and offsets anyway, not to mention they had different sized tyres front and back so would mess with the ATTESA.

I agree with the lowering part, it does sit a little bit high, but overall i am actually very impressed with the stock suspension so might just go with some Tein springs and also some wheel spacers, should make it look a bit nicer!

    • Shove more foam in it as a minimum if you possibly can. Or steel wool (not the stuff with soap on it!) Baffles / getting the oil out of the air is huge, and should be done at both the cam cover, and the catch can.   I'm about to do a power steering reservoir, and even that needs some thought to make sure air is separated from the oil, to stop evil Cavitation. I'll probably look at doing my own catchcan later on too.
    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
