was pretty happy with the economy of my car today 608Km's out of a tank. Would have been better if the ultimate was $160+ in the middle of nowhere

down side is the car is pinging due to the crappy unleaded that went into it. I think i need to flush it out and run some good stuff in there now i'm back in civilization :cool:

bit sad that my 33 is my daily and i have done 26000Km's over the past 3 years and have done 2000 in the last 4 days

i know that feeling mine is daily driver aswell thats alot of kms how did it go in the heat

yeah that nearly 1/5th of my annual Km's and i might be heading up to QLD in the next week or so and that'll add a lot more

pretty well, i flushed the oil and radiator ect before i left so i wasn't to worried.

It might need a wheel alignment as it pulls to the left when the wheel is straight :cool: have to wait to i get a new job

i noticed it on the way over, it could have been doing it a while i just don't drive enough to notice (long straight roads anyway) not that fun when i went to grab a drink and the car starts to drift off the road when it should be driving straight.

not the most comfortable seats for long drives

Yeah right, :cheers: unless the height of the mount is actually different to standard nissan.... the engine would be in the same place no matter what.

Dont make sense though, would mean different gearbox mount etc....

Inless its actually shaped different to clear lines or something. I dont own a 33, so Im trying to use logic here LOL.

Edited by R31 drift pig
r the gtr seats any better to sit in does anyone know." 4 long drives that is"

Yeah there nice...I dont mind them and sat in one for 6hrs from Sydney to Shepparton ;) But I was driving I guess you would get fidgety if a passenger ;)

    • 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!
