They look amazing - something very different.

What sort of note will they make? Do any of the V8Supercar teams run these mufflers? Some of the teams (DJR for one) have a very different note to the others.

I will have to call around and check them out.

Nice! I like the mufflers... How much noise does it dampen? I need to go under 90DB on my car, or I cant get it approved for the track...

You need to hurry up a bit, or I may finish before you... :D

My car is almost finished up welding, only a couple of days left, and its going to my Roll-Cage builder this weekend...

And everything under the car is on its way, so soon its only Electrical, Paint and interior left... :)

im not sure yet as to the DB of the car, but the guy who did the mufflers also has these inserts for the exhaust tip that will take another 4db out if necessary. Under 90db is less than we can run on the street i think.

after another read of the cams rule book i have learned that i will require a transmission scatter shield or blanket, a rain light and some kind of crumle zone packing made of either alluminium or nomex to run between the rear of the car & the fuel tank.

The trans blanket is not an issue as RCI make SFI 14.1 universal blankets. the rain light is also no drama, but this nomex packing has got me stumped, but have been given some leads on it by

Duncan. Also researching rear wings.

to be honest Roy its hard to know which ones are for pretty and which ones actually are functional.

The Voltex units look the go but not sure on price, i think expensive. These APR wings are about $600. But dont know anything about them.

Let me you know how you go with rear wings. I am hoping something i am working on pans out but finding a functional yet attractive wing to suit an R32 is a challenge .

yeh going to leave it for now, have been given some good advice by members in regards to this, ill look into it again later if the car set-up requires it.

hmm i am very dubious of the ricer wings. pretty sure no super cars choose to run wings looking like that.

the wing on John's Z is more like it to me.

this is back on the cards again, should have it by the end of the week, once fitted i should be able to fire her. hope it fits under-bonnet.

have been looking at intake manifolds for a while, the Harrop item was looking like the go

but after some research it was found that it would be difficult to adapt different length ram tubes to it as it was designed to fit in the commodore and this is not an option due to bonnet height etc. harrop was also very difficult to get in contact with as they do not return faxes or email. obviously dont want to sell any.

Came across another Australian made intake, well priced and is designed for interchanging ram tubes. i also know the guy who spins them up so can get a few sets made. once car is back on the ground and engine fitted im hoping to get one of these babies.

That's one nice looking intake!

What is the price, and do they make one that fits L92 heads?

i had actually looked at that one and don mind the look of it, it also looks to be adjustable on both planes but the guys reckon its not much chop. so im not sure....

Just jap make an almost exact copy of the R34 GTR wing...

I would suggest reinforcing the boot as it tends to flex a little bit

meaning that it is more for decoration rather than downforce. If some-one uses this wing on a circuit car and could give some positive feed-back on its perfomance i would be more than happy to use it. but at the moment cant find any-one. It was also commented that the end-plates are not indicative of a circuit style wing.

It is adjustable on both planes :) Dunno what you mean by not much chop though...

looks like you have plenty of positive angle on it. i dare say it would work fine, just want to be sure.

well it has bent my boot a little bit due to the downforce... It wasn't always like that...

But if someone who knows a thing or two says otherwise I would probably listen to them :)

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
