whoah dayum. I didn't know he did nissans and toyotas. I only know of this one S15 but i thought it was a one-off.

What were you talking to him about? Him possibly doing some work on the 33?

Alright, so here's what I managed to do today.

I put a caliper on my wife while she was sleeping.

I made some new rims.

I took off one of the stock brake assemblies to test fit the new ones. I bent the dust plate out of the way, but I'll trim it down when final install happens.

Test fit to make sure the brackets are the correct ones with the kit. It was shipped with a 350Z installation guide, which worried me.

That's all for now, will have installed within the week I reckon. Still trying to figure out how I can never go to work ever again.

whats the go with Nakai-San possibly working on the 'line?

The long answer was that it would be a MINIMUM of 6 months turnaround, and the short answer was "buy a porsche" haha. I can't give the car up for over 6 months right now. He said that he would love to do it though!

hahahaha. Maybe you should look into a 964 to have him work on.

how do i subscribe to these things?

awesome thread is awesome, you really seem to be living the dream Collen (is that a made up name or what?) except for when your burgled or the local Nuclear power plant melts down that is..

dammit! i thought he was back.

If you ever end up reading this "Collen", i posted up a pic of your car on my tumblr and 1100 odd reblogs later, someone came back saying they're stationed at the same base as you. small world hey?

he also mentioned some of the sharpies starting to wear out in parts :(

HEY, That is my real name, given at birth. f*kushima really does suck.. I missed out on Skyline week because I am just not going to drive through there. F that. I know people that go down to f*kushima and race at Ebisu Circuit.. i just scratched it off my list completely.

post up the link!! It's not wearing out except on the top.. I never cleared the top because I always meant to add color first.. the sun has faded it some, but without any UV protection in the markers, it has been holding up amazingly well. I like the "Collen" thing.. It's my real name!?? !

+1 we need an update man.

Here is the update. Just bought some TE37 FZero Blues in 18x10.5 +15 as well as some Hankook 285/35/18s all the way around. Currently the car has been transformed into a factory stock R33 for out 2 year "JCI" or Shaken process.. I decided to keep it road registered as long as I could.! Pics to follow when I get the rims in the mail.

YAY! he's back! good to hear from you, try not to leave us for so long again.

Sorry lost the link to the guy who's stationed at your base.

Love the wheels, are still planning to turn this into a dedicated track car?

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
