Who's Got The Best Looking N/a Here?

hows the head gasket goin, Eugene?

we did a compression test and it's perfect across all 6, quite surprised considering the abuse (engine has 100K). the oil that was pissing out turned out to be a cam seal, so that was amended followed by a fresh service and she's healthy as!

got in some adjustable camber and castor, so we'll see how the suspension goes this weekend at a motorkhana i'm going. there's really not much else to do to the car suspension wise and i'm not really interested in getting more power at the moment, a number of factors; i'm starting a phd, money (going to be buying a house late next year) and most importantly the headache.

i'm sure i can still go another 5-10 seconds faster on any track with more practice and a tweak of the suspension. i've bought a stringline wheel alignment kit a few months back so i'll be playing around with my settings over the next couple of months to try and find the sweet spot.

how's things your end Cris?

and skyline's will always be a never ending pit of cash. kinda keen in throwing my money on a newer car VE ute has taken my fancy of late.

RB30 block is still sitting in my laundry ;)

Thats lucky Eugene.. head gaskets are not fun to fix, and then you still need to hunt down the cause.

Congrats on finishing the degree by the way!

I was thinking you were taking some time off for a project of yours.. :D

Wow, 5 - 10 seconds is large gap dude. I suppose racetrack brking is very difficult to get right. Have you set down any times anywhere yet?

Unfortunatelly all forms of motorsport have taken a backseat. After being flat chat broke after several weekends of general maintanence the car was mechanically perfect! But now im missing a front end. Im trying to save to get GTR bonnet, quarter panel bent out with radiator support too, then re-spray. Still hunting down a couple of parts too.

Next plan after that was to fit my GTR and DBA brakes and get it back on the road for a Sydney to Tasmania trip.

hahahaha.. well the RB30DE build has been put off indefinately, I may evn have to sell the parts I have hunted and gathered to fund the car too.. ;)

Why, oh why couldn't I be interested in pottery, or a book club, something thats not so bloody expensive!

p.s. - love the silhouette with those LMGT2 rims!!! hot!!

Thanks dude! She's my baby.

Its rare to see such a nice and clean 31!

Ask and you shall receive! She could look better in these pics - needs a polish. Will take some mad ones with an SLR in a few days.

thanks yeah i decided to divert all my car funds into my hecs debt, i'm officially debt free now. i can finally start concentrating on doing other things without having that sitting at the back of my mind.

lol @ pottery, but i do agree why do we have such expensive hobbies!? sorry to hear about the motor build, such is life unfortunately - i've never met a single person that had a flawless and easy engine conversion, engine build, etc.

a guy i know made some crazy 400+ HP and at the beginning of this year he only wanted to spend 10-15K max, i think he's tripled that figure now and still counting.

also to keep the thread on topic here are some photos from yesterday courtesy of zennon

Rob, you should consider a Coupe style lip for your 31...might just finish it off i rekn, or it could ruin it...but no matter how many times i look at your car tho it instantly strikes me as a coupe, very neatly done 31 4dr thats for sure :laugh:

did you get hotplates or are they standard Silhouette tailights?

Do you mean the black waistband? Without it they look a bit odd.. as basically every 31 was made with them bar the GTS2 which had a red waistband.. Hmm off to photoshop!!

I just finished putting an RB25DE into her so once all the little bits and pieces and problems are sorted I'm going to save up for a bodykit.. In my mind is CCS side skirts and rear bar, and an R31House front lip which look f**king awesome in my opinion.

Taillights are Series 3 hot plates which have been tinted. Pics belooowww. (excuse the dent in the rear bar - some idiot ran up the back of me. getting it fixed in a week or so)

And this is the R31House front lip which I am hoping to have on my car within a few months. (the red one - so it gives a pretty good idea of what mine will look like! eg. awesome)

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
