Mine does the exact same crunch changing from 3rd to 4th at peakpower, delay the shift for a second longer and mine doesn't crunch.

It's crunching because your syncro's are worn, you can reduce the amount they play up but trying some different thickness G/Box oil. there are different schools of thought as to whether to use thicker or thinner oil but i found that thicker oil worked in my box and now it never crunches. Having said that a slow shift is better for the box than slamming through the gears.

I wont be coming out, I really need to upgrade my brake lines and replace my brake fluid and also buy new pads, have less than 2mm left on my front pads after last prac day. Seriously think i'll have to upgrade brakes brakes soon, brakes are at their limit and i dont think they will take this punishment for much longer :) Why do good brakes have to cost so damn much :D If anyone knows of some good brakes for sale let me know :P

hey guys, is this like pretty much the same set up as drift practice, as in you can just pay on the day and have track time? or you you need other CAMS licence. Is it a competition so its all competeting against other cars or just practice? . is it open to any car? im keen to get my car on the track as i hardly get too drive it anymore, cheers.

rock up in the morning,

pay $100 + $25 for day licence if you dont have a cams one

get 5-6 sessions of 15min practice runs... no racing, no overtaking under brakes or into corners

hey chad, if youre serious about upgraded brakes, i know a guy on 31 club has picked up a couple sets of porsche brakes and is onselling a few (had to buy a half dozen sets to get a good price), might be a little overkill though...

calipers for 33 gtr aka 330 rather than the stock r32 296's ? or do u mean just the hubs and that the calipers fit with that size?

-D

You just need to cut off the dust covers, but other then that, everything bolts up fine. GTR disc's are 330mm front.

why not just go aftermarket slotted then.....

I am pretty sure there is a group buys section on slotted rotors in the main for sale section.....got my brakes from that GB and are awesome rotors....so far not a problem and going welll

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
