Have you seen the number plates in Japan? They are huge.

Slim line NSW plate mounted in original position doesnt block off that much.

+1 but then again japans temps are very low compared to the australian conditions; GTR's imported into the euro market are generally fitted with extra oil coolers to cope with highway temps.

ummm if you watch ignition dvd, there was an aus time attack gtr which went over to compete and when they tuned the car fo japans conditions it gained something like 50kw and intake temps fell to 12degrees.

On a hot day here we see 40-50+ intake temps, cold night??? im not sure, ill take a look (probably 20-30)

Why are GTRs not fitted with oil coolers here? Perhaps it's because Europe has better roads and average speeds are faster (especially Autobahns). Sustained driving at high speed would push temperatures up.

According to average max/min temperatures Japan gets hotter in summer and colder in winter than here. Saying Japan doesn't get hot is a myth. However Sydney has some mild days in summer and some stinkers, Japan may consistently be around the 30C mark during the day and seldom get much hotter.

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
