34R / Eastbear seats are ok for track work. They allow you to still have feeling in your ass once you arrive at the track as well.

32/33 are almost useless as the shoulder wings are not large enough.

And get some KU31's they own in the wet from all reports. They cost more than KU36 for a reason....

How is your car now Hamish that is sounds like s Saab wagon?

+1 for no shoulder support but they fit my bum great :) its also handy not having sides when you have to deal with a ballin kid in the back

+1 for KU31s got a full set for the misssus car for 540$ and they are great in all conditions and they ride is really nice and comfy to...will be better when I get my koni yellows from the states, 600$ for a full set = win

dont do it!! I have em on my car pretty good in the dry shocking in the wet!!

i would consider another tire since its winter and aint gana stop raining

jus sayin have a read on them :thumbsup:

that's just a load of shit.... ku36's are nowhere near as bad in the wet as people say.

for some reason people buy 36's and expect the performance of an RE55, it's NEVER going to happen

they are NOT a semi slick tyre, they are just a street tyre. they perform fine in the wet for what they cost/are. and yes I have used them on many occasions

I dunno about you guys, but I can't buy or consider buying performance/sports cars I've beaten in run ins with my near standard R33. They just seem to lose their appeal after that. MPS, XR5 Turbo, Golf GTi, Cooper S, list goes on. Makes me think, why bother buying one of these when such an old car will just do away with it. Not saying the new cars have to get faster and faster, but they better have something special to offer and above a 15 year old Skyline that's all. Aesthetics and fuel economy maybe? A better feel? Not performance though...

there all phag ass cars anyway so why would you.

personally i like luxury over performance for daily duties

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
