had drift prac last night...borrowed one of pauls coilovers, cheers mate!, so was running different coils left and right lol, car felt amazing with the new diff/ratio + 17 inch tyres... had heaps of grip and speed. was brilliant to drive! had a few close tandems and near misses. however dec's in the Garage 7 missle was chasing me on one lap and rubbed thro brake lines and tagged me in the rear 1/4... keep going cause it didnt seem so bad. then in another session i was chasing him down and then he looped suddenly on turn 2 and i had no where to go and we collided.. in the same panel! only a tad worse now lol :(

not a fan of the flairs on the front. are you able to get wider fiberglass s14-180 front guards?

and are you going to go back to 18s on the back or cant you get that style of rims in size for realistic $$$$

these are the ONLY guards you can get.. and they are suppose to be 20mm wider but i think they are stock. had no choice but to run the flares and gut the guards away to give me the clearance i needed. im not entirly sold on them myself but i think once painted they should be sweet.

i still have my VS-XX's in 18's and i will be rotating between two pairs of 17's and one pair of 18's. the 17's actually gave me MORE grip so its defo not a step backwards... plus tyres are cheaper :D

forklift mechanic... i dont make much.

i do a lot of work after hours on peoples cars which helps. im a mechanic by trade, along with auto elec.

all work is done my byself or with the help of good mates which makes all the difference.

yeah gonna go GTX i think!

Mongrel :nyaanyaa:

I have been looking at them thinking I WANT ONE, but then i just gotta get mine running.... Are they a direct swap? I imagine all the lines etc remain the same?

yeah direct swap mate. the CHRA is the same, the wheels and front housing is different thats all.

If you run the same rear size can you do a back to back comparison????? :yes:

There are plenty of comparisons on US cars etc.... But none for our sort of beasts....

I'd be really keen to see the improvements in spool, power, torque etc...

Man great work !

So is your RB un-opened? with that massive power? how does your 3rd gear pull when drifting or kicking the clutch?

sometimes when i kick it out in 3rd gear it dies down unless im not giving it hard enough? cheers man.

    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
    • Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
    • Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
