99 R34Gtr Vspec, Now Stroked!


Recommended Posts

Was the spigot bearing an original Nissan part? Why did it fail, just through wear and tear?

No Matt, it was a needle roller bearing one, lasted all of 20 mins due to input shaft nicking it when we went to fit gbox. After that, I'm only ever fitting stock bronze one's ;)

Thanks Charlie, it feels good.

Next will be a set of bilstein coilovers :thumbsup:

Thanks Brad! Yours will be a monster!!

Still have not done clutch...had to keep it on the road due to things popping up and arriving short notice :whistling:. Was worth it though!

The clutch is a Nismo gmax twin plate (Brett) , that I got second hand, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt with new clutch discs.

I'm currently half way through getting brembo bits to take the brakes back to something more streetable...

New scuff plates..post-12712-0-88248000-1327199816_thumb.jpgpost-12712-0-09787700-1327199833_thumb.jpg

Is going okay Matt, but I always want more....

Have got a couple of things for it recently:

Some tein bonnet struts.

Also got some bilstein PSS9 coilovers. Only issue is that one of the front coilovers didn't have the fitting kit (nut, spacer, rubber and adjuster knob) with it so I can't use them yet :(

Will have to get that sorted asap.

Over 2k.... no adjustment spanners, and missing a fitting kit.

Fitted some new tein super streets to Karcher's 450sx. Went in no worries and handles way better and feels great on the road.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
