Oh how much? I need them too.. currently using the same plate as you without an oil temp gauge LOL

I think the price is in the pic? It was like $40 for 2 including express post!

Awesome car man, just looked through the whole thread.........

Thanks Scotty, i wish i could go back and clean up the thread and embed pics etc etc but no can do :( Anyway, plenty of updates coming right up ;)

Bleeding cooling system, had it jacked up nice and high too -

Tested the gauge, looks good.... Had it lit up blue and checked the warning buzzer, was good -

For those looking at the radiator and thinking its too shiny, i DO have a can of VHT black but was more concerned about getting it running and checking for issues at this stage -

So we went for a little test drive on the Saturday and found the oil temps and coolant temps were lower, and spot on! This hasnt been the case for a while.... On sunday we took it out for a proper run with full boost to see how it went and it drove amazing! The poor RSR's copped a hiding as traction is still non existing BUT it was good fun! We stopped for a few pics -

Keep in mind, the pics here are of the car that has NOT had a wash in 3 months.... I WILL get it all polished up and detailed and get some proper pics done soon...

I just realised i have not yet uploaded the pics of the new mental fuel system, ill try get some sorted by this weekend and put them up.... For now i need to clean the car up and put it back into sleeper mode with the gate plumbed back and everything else neat and tidy :)

car looks clean man. im all for more is less

little bit of a sleeper too, except for the big JEM sticker :P

Yeah it will be a sleeper when the stickers are taken off, they were put on there for the Powerplay and SAU Nationals events BUT it was not performing at all so it was a dissapointment, ill get it out at Powercruise and really give it a hiding and do the stickers some justice for the boys at JEM that have been nothing but helpful the whole way through this build, super professional operation down there :D

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
