GTR Wing is my preference (I am biased tho)

Drift wing or S2 wing equal second choice..

-- Carmate does the GTR wing in fibreglass... http://www.carmate.com/product_details.php...W&p_id=7761

Questionable service from them though.

Got my body kit from them, but installed by a panel beater.

IPS. Allkiller I f#$kin love that GTR concept car in your sig. I want one.

Wonkynuts,

Comes out 2008 V6 twin turbo, AWD AWS i'll see if i can find the link of it at Nurberg ring ;)

Nate 79,

Old pic mate, daughter bought it, for a pressie, she didnt know better.. had to wear it for a while....waiting for the GTS badges on this forum to be made. I got a ford focus S badge doing the job now :D

Get a S2 wing Brett! Keep it all in proportion. If you look at a car and the first thing that catchs your eye is the wing or a stupidly big front bar that dwarfs everything else on the car, its fair to say its not the complete package. You want people to look at your car and say "dam that's a nice skyline", not "jesus, check out the wing on that thing"! Front bar, that matches side skirts, that matches the rear bar with a matching wing = JOY!!!! My 20 cents anyway!!!!

Yeah true that^^^

It has to look in proportion... You shouldnt have anything bigger than an S2 wing without sideskirts at least, or ideally rear pods too.

Brett - Rear pods would look great to even out the back of your car because your front bar and side skirts are quite low.

I do have rear pods Jon :)

This pic shows them a bit better:

Thanks for the comment Wayne :P I like my current wing because of the S2 look about it.. The only problem is the height (its just that tad too big) and how it pops a bit further our then the boot (eww).

If I can snap up one at a decent price I will. What I have been offered has been a bit too much.. I've seen one go for $60 that was in Melb :dry:

If your spoiler goes missing the day I "find" one Wayne don't come to me.

GTR Wing is my preference (I am biased tho)

I agree - GTR wing... but unlike Primordial, I am not biased.......... *cough cough*

Otherwise... drift wing or Type M wing.....

That's my 2 cents worth... do I get change??? :)

Hey Brett..... just a thought..... do you think your dad would notice if his wing went missing??? baahahahaha!

piss those wheels off mate, thats your biggest issue atm, personaly the drift wing with your side skirts and pods would look the best, imo the gtr wing looks shit unless youve got the pumpde guards.

Brett love those rear pods...what make are they...cheers

Pretty sure they are Veilside rear pods mate.

And I have veilside skirts.

I've been looking at rims - it's all too hard.

I'm having enough trouble choose what spoiler to keep on, let alone when I walked into the local rim shop they have me 3 MASSIVE folders with pages of rims and told me to "pick one".

Rays or Volks in 18's i reckon ////Rays are the Gold centre ones

Photoshop em on yer car to see if you like em....thats the best way

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
