where did you get the turbo beanie?

hows it holding up? the ones i have seen don't last too long and have a habit of smoking really bad after a while.

Ebay, it's branded autobahn88...

So far so good, between it and the heat wrap on the dump it smoked for a while but now has cleared up and is fine :)

Failed to make it down to the drags this week because I tried to reinstall the rear stock suspension to get a bit of squat in the rear end and because of all the alignment changes the bottom seat of the spring hits against the upper camber arm!

So I had a bit of a hissy fit and went f**k it I'm not going down at all and left the rear end in bits and on jack stands...

Going to get my shit together tonight and put the coilovers back in and then probably just raise the rear end a inch or 2 and run it like that down the drags with some MT ET streets, probably won't be a good time due to getting kicked out as soon as you run a 11.99 or better but will be good to see how high the mph will be.

Fingers crossed for at least a low 11 at 130+mph

Well drags went ok, didn't get the best launch in the world but went for it anyway, ended up getting kicked out so only 1 pass on power.

Ran a 11.03 @ 132.5mph and the ANDRA official kicked me out and said to not come back without 10.99 or better regulations.

So close but no 10, at least the mph was healthy :)

Fck yeah mate, thats awesome. what tread did you use? with the coilovers or stock?

Coilovers, stock suspension hits on camber arms now. MT ET streets 255/50/16

thats moving. I think my t67 with 10 cm housing is goung on with rhe cams and e85. will see what abuse it can take and whether the lil 20 can keep on the boil down the qtr. god knows it will ne a shitty track setup

Mine was set up for track really, all I did was would the rears up 15mm and bolted on tyres. Those ET streets are surprisingly grippy haha

I always thought it was a 10.99 you needed before getting the boot, either way a very good time

11.99 you need a harness, tailshaft loop and andra licence etc... Because I was so close to a ten and mph was high he said I had to sort the 10.99 or quicker requirements as well, so cage plus lots more

      R34 GT > GTT compatibilities

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...

      Rear hub bolt torque r34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      Is the problem that we just disconnected the line, does it need to be plugged? I’d rather not buy another master cylinder

      Clutch is same same. Tailshaft is not. Diff will drop in. Half-shafts will not mate up (5x1 on turbo, 3x2 on NA). There is also the strong possibility that your auto NA gets its speed signal from the sensor on the diff, not the gearbag, and that will leave you without a speedo. You can do all this, you just have to do a lot more than you thought.
