Well I just picked the car up from Mick @ Micolour who has finished fitting the new Z Tune kit and spraying the whole car.

It's come up brilliantly (pics don't do it justice - will have to get some better ones later but it's too hot out there right now). But I'm wrapped with how it's turned out :D

Looks really good :)

why didnt u get the front bar too finish it off?

The gaps in the side of the Nismo bar make the oil cooler less effective. Hence why we stuck to the standard front bar. (It is a race car afterall).

Well actually...who knows but articles i have read say that the slots will make the cooler more effective, hence why cars like Z-Tune etc have them. The side of the bar is a low pressure area meaning that if the oil cooler is ducted to the side of the bar where the opening is the vent will actually help draw air through the oil cooler core.

Ducting the oil cooler to the inner guard well , thats actually a high pressure area so you dont get great flow through the oil cooler when downstream of the cooler is a high pressure area. I have also read that ducting coolers there can lead to increase brake temperatures but even me the classic "i have no practical experience...i only nose what i nose from reading articles" thinks its a stretch to think that airflow from an oil cooler to the inner guard is going to affect temperatures and brake performance.

And, finally...I wish i had a big penis, was personally rich, good looks and any girl from the 2009 Raph Calender.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
