Where did you get the brake adapters made?

Also on your splitter, do you have any pics please showing how you attached the ply to the garden edging? I'm guessing 90 degree alloy edging cut into small pieces

Pauly D is making them for me, can't wait to see the difference in braking!

They're little right angle brackets with a hole on each side. i got them from bunnings

and that bonnet and catches, so HAWWWWT

Thanks man. :thumbsup:

never really cared how it looked (in fact always prefered go>show) but now i want carbon all over it ! sooo light and good looking :)

car looking good mate, any more details on the brake dog bones?

is he able to make any for R33 GTST > 330mm rotors?

I'll have to ask, he was doing them as a favour for me. but im going a bit of a different way now - see below

this things a rig!!! love it!!

thanks man, means a lot coming from someone with a car like yours :)

i have just ordered a new Sparco Pro 2000 as i need to log book my car. i want to enter the CAMS NSW supersprints and apparently i fall into 4D category. i need add a couple of extra roll bars in too.

I also just ordered some new front brakes. Wilwood 4 pot superlites? they are a 330mm 2 piece rotor so should stop alright now. budget end of braking i know but should work really well i think.

Brakes came last week. Got them trial fitted while waiting for some safty wire to show up.

Thanks mang :)

Finally bit the bullet and bought an R33 gearbox, was $800 and local so couldn't say no.

I have two events this month, 1st is the SAU texi at Sutton and the 2nd is a TCC Interclub SS at wakie on the 27th. It will be the last drive until Nationals as my first born is due June 1st, im guessing I’ll be too tired for anything else :)

Got a bit to do over the next week so stay tuned for updates.

New seat will be put in this weekend and im going to make up some boot/wing supports to stop it flexing as well.

Saftywire finally came, bolts got all wired up.

not too bad for my first go at it.

all fitted up, will be bled tomorrow and bedded in.

(bought a pair of S13 BC coilovers for the front to replace the S14 ones it had)

yep, im a lucky sob.

took the dip at the SAU Texi day too quick and this is the result

LH LCA, castor rod and camber tops all came loose and moved. the only damage to the suspension was two of the camber plate bolt on the rh got bent when it moved in.

    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
