Back from the World Superbikes at Phillip Island. Got back home at 3am this morning ... still feeling the big weekend. Working from 6.00am thru to 6.00pm. Got positioned at turn 1 for "recovery" (of crashed bikes and riders). Did anyone watch the National Supers race and see the 3 bike pile up into turn 1? I was there. 3 riders down, 2 out cold and 1 very pissed off. Good thing it was on the last lap, so the race had ended anyway. Took a while to clean that one up. Biggest highlight of the working weekend.

Biggest highlight of the non-working moments was the big FAIL to Vic police who capsicum sprayed half the pub when a fight broke out. That shit is nasty :P

Anyway, might go to bed again and catch up on more sleep :P

BTW the rear tyre on the Brutale got trashed :P

hahaha thats funny as about the gtr stuff.......

thank god i own a non turbo tho :P so much easier but i must admit there was a dude in the N/A... section who said his car was non turbo but he had the Red/White GT Badges and on the rear bar he had a GTT badge..... i have to admit it was quite confusing until he said that the car had a non turbo engine put in it before he brought it. nfi why tho.

Went down to Michaels new shop Carline today. I recommend him, he did my exhaust at Aussies and really knows his shit. Plus he had a few 2jz's laying around, asked if I wanted to throw one in... Has really got me thinking..

ive only rally found the Do Luck ones and the ones that Viva Garage have got...........just spewin that i wont be able to fit GTR fenders on unless i change the bonnet and front bar :P

why does life have to be soo cruel in that way? :P

yeah gtr guards are basically for gtr front end conversion, unless you spend a mint getting them moulded onto standard fronts.

i want something a little wider with a vent, i love the look of the vent.

im not worried about spending the extra money on fitment cause the car will be going in for a full respray next year and ill get them put on when that is getting done....

krishey - u gonna come to loxton for dinner are you??? :P

and nah muirsky not getting new rims - i got them last year lol im really happy with the 19's anyway they look really good especially with this years graphics design :P

    • Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.
    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
