R34 Gtr Build


Recommended Posts

Beautiful. Plenty of clearance.

Are you using some kind of external regulator for those two feeds so you can control the oil flow to the head via pressure adjustment? Or just running larger orifice restrictors inline somewhere that can be changed easily enough? Say like a pill holder on the return side of a mechanical fuel system?

Insane build by the way,

I was just wondering you might of already said, but what rpm are you going to be aiming for and what oil clearances on mains and big ends or is John going to stay with the factory specifications with the high boost and high rpm?

Also what pistons are you running and where did you get the wrist pins?

Thank you.

max rpm will be 9000 and the bearing clearance is just under 2 thou for the main and big ends.

The pistons im running a Custom JE pistons and they supplied the wrist pin. If you go to the begining of the thread there is a copy of the piston specification.

Dear bobby, please let me have your annual salary/bank balance <3 alby

On a more srs note, its looking bloody fantastic mate. Skola is definately an automotive legend, and deserves so much more. Has always been in the front of development and good ideas!

Hi Allan,

I think its nothing to do with salary its more to do with the amount of hours has been put into this project.

Thank you John Skola has put in alot of effort getting it all together

    • 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.
