Well it's been a long time since this got updated, mainly due to the lack of interest I thought this thread had.

There has been quite a lot of changes since the last time I wrote in this thread. The major ones being that the car has seen the track twice and identified quite a few weak links. So looking at changing things like the tyres (RE55/A050) and suspension (Cusco) over the coming weeks as I start to get serious with time attack.

Here are some of the things I've been up to:

- Removed sound deadening (there is very LITTLE weight loss with this done)

- Re-wired a LOT of the engine bay to make things cleaner

- Removed the Fan Shroud and painted the clutch fan black

- Changed the Earls fittings on the Throttle Body

- Installed a whole bunch of new bolts and cone washers (I have no connection to this company but I thought their offerings and service was excellent. http://www.probolt-australia.com/)

- Installed new rocker cover baffles

- Installed a Turbo beanie (after one track day I am unsure if this will stay due to water line issues)

- Fitted the new matte black Work XT7 rims

- Started planning for the half cage

- Purchased Willans Aluminum 4 Point Harness (I am in LOVE with this harness)

- Deutsch connectors for wiring of the Racepak Dash (Along with the bloody expensive MSD Tool for the pin connectors)

- Fabricated a metal Washer bottle

- Changed to Penrite 10 Tenths Racing Oil

I'm sure there are heaps more.

Looking at getting Race Render 2 or TrackVision Software and an Replay XD 1080 camera. Keen to hear if people have used this stuff before and their opinions. Also want to hear what direction we should be taking the car next, as there are some very creative and smart minds in these crazy forums.

any chance of getting some pics of your newly installed bolts and cone washer combos...

and a list of sizes or part number...

I been looking at that bolt site and trying to work out what I need for what and finding it quite intense...

The photos I took aren't very good. But I'll endeavor to get some proper ones this weekend.

For reference though, this is what I got:

M8 x 25mm - Flanged Hex Head for hood latch bracket (LBWHX825RBK)

M6 x 16mm - Allen Bolt for Fenders/Fuse Box (LPB616BK)

M6 x 25mm - Allen Bolt for CAS/Windscreen Controller (LCS615BK)

19mm OD Cone Washer for use with above M6 bolts (LWAC6-19BK)

M6 x 15mm - Countersunk Bolt for Headlight Bracket (LPB616BK)

25mm OD Cone Washer for Headlight Bracket (LWAPB625BK)

+ more for other little bits and pieces.

Let me know if you have any other questions in regards to the bolts.

Looking at this paint for the rollcage and rear of B pillar

http://www.kbs-coatings.com.au/kbs-rustseal

Goes on with a paint brush and gives a smooth sprayed on look once dried, along with all of the rust and scratch resistance as well.

Blast from the past. I haven't been on these forums for almost a decade and came back to reminisce and remind me what we actually did to the car as it's been driven less than 100km in past 5 years as life and kids take their toll on hobbies. 

The time has come to sell this car but just wanted to give a shout out to the community. Not that anyone will probably ever read this. 

I also found a wayback link of the old PSI Parts (Business was shut down years ago) site: http://web.archive.org/web/20121105054236/http://www.psiparts.com.au/project.htm that made me laugh how far things have come. 

For Sale Post coming soon.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
