ahh yeah not exactly busy with all the other stuff going on atm :(

I did pick up the wheels from craved the other day (they look swoit!) so I guess I better get some slicks sorted.

Its actually about 70% ready but that last 30% is going no-where atm

(bit slow lol)

yeah I need 2 because generally only 1 is working at a time :D

the car you went in (the production car) is great but lets face it.....it is missing 200kw compared to most cars around.

so Mark and I figured we may as well build something a bit quicker for fun. The production car is the serious one though and has the best of everything it can - this car on the other hand has cheap everything :)

it's likely to be 12 months before it's finished - our old work location is no longer available and my house is 9 months away - so stay tuned for this time next year :)

well....time to dust off this thread. Beleive it or not, the car has finally emerged from storage and will be worked on again in probably 3 months.

proper wheel is on the front, not the rear (don't fit yet after all the subframe mods, it is seriosuly low). And I mean the car not the trailer, where the right wheels are on the back not the front. Did grog make that last sentence make less sense?

fortunately for me it is moving to melbourne so I won't be getting my hands dirty for a while.

haha stable....that's exactly what i need to store all the cars :rofl:

lol michael as if you don't have 2 projects on the go yourself :P when is that race car going to be back on the track btw, was a shame not to see it at the national sprints at morgan park last month

damo, honestly can't remember. but they are a cheap forged one, originally bronze but we had Craved powercoat them white. they look excellent, hopefully they will be strong enough.....

BTW this bloody car better be seconds quicker than the production car. otherwise I'll burn the f**ker to the ground.

I know the feeling well Duncan!

I got about 8 on the go!

Half are mine the other half belong to everyone else!

Sad part is I have nothing to drive, I'm resorting to buying something else to drive!

Buy an evo :P

nice brakes on the front but what happened to the calipers?

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • 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.
