Just a short msg to pay tribute and say farewell to my father who passed away after a battle with cancer on thursday afternoon.

he was a fellow skyline lover, and he last really happy moment was when i drove up to adela 3 weeks ago for a week away with him, because he was able to finally get into my line with me and see me open her up a little down the highway....

rest in peace mate your one of a kind :)

the most difficult time was to be honest, being at the footy yesterday, as we were both avid bomber supporters, it was our favourite game of the year, having him die the afternoon b4 the big day, it was safe to say is prob the hardest thing to do was stand through the minutes silence and the last stand bugel song thingy.....

but was something i had to do ANZAC day means more now, for me at least anyway

I feel for you mate - I also lost my father due to a car crash just on 3 yrs ago this month. Try to focus on all the good memories when you're feeling down, I know its hard, I still can't believe my dad is gone...

R.I.P to all of our passed loved ones.

Hey buddy... obviously a trying time in ones life... i had to go thru it at the begining of this year when i lost my grandfather... its with the help of very close friends and the loved ones around this that we get the strength to go on and remember the times that both lives met wether it be happy or sad. Glad to see you got to spend sometime with him before he passed on... one thing i never had the pleasure of doing... cheerish it and may he rest in peace.

there are two certancies(spelling) in life, taxes and death...while some can manage to avoid taxes, we all have to face death, be it our own, and the people we truly love and care for.

ive always said "quality not quantity", and in life, where we know not where it will end, this should be a must. and it sounds like your father did just that. and im sure he is up there somewhere, watching out for you

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
