brett

sounds good.. my brother SRZILLA (blue nissan pulsar gtir) is taking me & his bestfriend... he said to sort out a SE pre meet with someone

whos interested in meeting...

so where & when? :wave:

Hey Guys,

Does any one know how the parking is going to be,

Because when they have big events at calder you need park on the padicks, and there will be dust every where, (MY POOR GTR GUNA GET DIRTY) :wave: .

---DRIFTFEST---

MACCAS on corner of princess highway and chadstone rd at 10:30am for a 10:45 depart. will up to monash and through tunnel (citylink) out to calder freeway. driftfest is on till about 10pm tomorrow night so not too much point rushing out there early i dont think.

who is up for the drive over?

brett

It was alright but weather was annoying! if that wind wasnt there it would of been ok!

And yes nice cars in the car park!

candy33: car looked pretty good sitting there and enjoying the admirers!

i agree, was pretty rank. weather was too windy and all the cars in the carpark got caked in dust! oh and who saw that champagne R34 GTR nur spec? *drools*

i noticed alot of people started to veer off from the drifting and go down to where the music was at. the tunes were bangin! lol @ all the muzzas and ravers. it was like bubble meets evo haha.

Edited by dmr

that champagne GTR was pron! by far the best car on there imo along with that old aston martin...

we stayed were the music was for like 5 mins and i got the biggest headache ever, fark i hate that shit! not to mention the people with the pink shirts and stupid hairs. coulda easily wasted em from the top with a sniper rifle :)

I thought the day was OK, but i only stayed for a few hours :).

Congrates Tai!!! Great talking to you buddy, car looked even better outside, than it did at the AutoSalon. The amount of work done to that car is mind blowing, good to hear that you are being awarded for your hard work and efforts.

Well keep the F1 AutoSalon in mind for 2008, i hope to see you there, and with any luck i'll be there with my car :)

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • 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.
