Sticking With One Brand For Mods

[Wink]

I've always like cars that have the majority of mods from one manufacturer

eg

HKS pod

HKS FMIC

HKS Turbo

HKS EBC

HKS Suspension

Although sticking with only one brand may not be optimal for car performance...

So, name me the brand of the majority of your mods and also how many mods from that brand.

[Yawn]

Tomei forged piston kit

Tomei forged H-beam conrods

Tomei oil sump baffle plate

Tomei head gasket combination kit

Tomei Pon camshafts Type B (Duration: IN 260, EX 260, Lift: IN, EX 9.15mm)

Tomei Oil filler cap

Tomei ornament plate

Thats the most of the same brand ive got even though the oil filler cap and ornament plate are irrelevant (wank!)

Awesome guys, keep em coming

[Yo-Yo]

I'd buy a toaster if it had nismo stamped on it

& to a lesser extent, HKS

[Public Enemy]

The list is endless but heres the greatest hits

Tomei 2.8 Stoker Crank

Tomei Forged Rods

Tomei Forged Pistons

Tomei Rod Bolts

Tomei Oil Pump

Tomei Cam Studs

Trust Main Bolts

Trust Type R Blow Off

JUN Head Studs

JUN Cams

JUN Valve Strings

JUN Retainers

HKS Exhaust Manifold

HKS Waste Gate

HKS TO4Z Turbo

HKS Cam Gears

HKS Timing Belt

HKS Fuel Rail

HKS 6 Speed Dogbox

HKS Under Chassis Bracing

OSG Triple Plate Clutch

Hypertune Plenum

Hypertune Throttle Body

Ross Balancer

Apexi Power FC Djetro

Main Reasons for selecting these was Tomei kit i got second hand brand new at good price. JUN Head components were best value and HKS turbo kit suited my needs the best. My opinion is the major Japanese brands are of similar quality. I based my selections mainly on bang for buck.

Engine is being assembled at the moment, cant wait to get it on the road.

generic brand alloy subframe lock collars

that's all I can think of off the top of my head but I'm sure I will have forgotten a fair bit of stuff.

[Beer Baron]

oh, and I should add it would be near impossible for me to buy all parts from one japanese manufactuer as I like to modify all areas of the car and most japanese manufacturers only make parts for certain areas of modification.

[SECURITY]

what about JJR, Beer Baron?

Now thats an impressive list, any lap times/power numbers?

[Beer Baron]

what about JJR, Beer Baron?

I did have some JJR upper arms and castor rods, but switched to cusco castor rods and noltec upper arms. castor rods purely because the cusco ones use much bigger rods ends with boots and the upper arms because the JJR dog bone ones are mainly built to help people remove negative camber from overly lowered cars, since my car is not ridiculously low and I wanted more neg, not less I couldn't get enough camber out of them. went to the noltec ones which have a little more adjustment.

I do still have my JJR (well "D1 spec") quick release hub though.

bnr#, power atm is 270kwatw. lap times off the top of my head best at easter creek is 1:53.4 and oran park GP around 1:22. never had this GTR at wakefield though, and never officially timed on the Oran sth circuit (and I don't much like the sth layout). with some decent tyres and brakes I'd like a flat 1:50 at EC and a 1:20 at OP GP. It's yet to be run with the brembos, and also haven't fitted the turbos, injectors, manis etc. but happening now, should be done in a few weeks.

forgot a couple of small things:

koyo twin core radiator

cusco turbo timer (yay!!)

ganador aero mirrors

carbon intercooler duct

carbon radiator stays

carbon radiator diffuser panel

and about to order an ARC intercooler.

and will add a lightweight 1piece tail shaft too (either carbon one, or UAS alloy one)

oh and for seats I stuck with good ol nissan. R34 GTR seats for street and cobra evolution carbon seat with willans harness for track.

here it is in action (yes I love to whore out the pics!)

[Yawn]

Lol, very nice BB, cusco turbo timer? Never heard of it, must be exclusive

lol, not very exclusive, but it is pretty damn old! it just has on/off. auto, 1 min or 3 min. that's it. it's probably 10 years old and is only there because I'm too lazy to remove it.
