Are you sure the rotors are on the right way? Reason i asked is because i have the same rotors and mine are the other way, i double checked it seems like the vains on the pmu scr pro rotors follow the direction of the slids...

i though the vain is suppose to go the rear? it goes from the center of the rotor then out or its the other way?

Air should be coming from center of rotor to outer rotor

Edited by ichi-go

that dosnt make sence to my brain, surly it should be sweeping outwards not draggin inwards?

I would tend to agree by looking at the design. Disc designers are a lot smarter than me however...

I guess it must act as a vacuum by creating a low pressure zone outside the vanes which draws the hot air out from the centre of the disc outwards. Makes sense in that it evacuates the hot air and dust away from the centre of the disc.

the vanes would work exactly how a turbo works

sucks in cool air from the centre, and propels it using centripetal acceleration (flings it outwards)

having them curved just helps draw the air through the disc

Vanes are the ones on the inside that pump air. They should sweep backwards.

Grooves are on the outside and remove pad dust etc. It doesnt matter which way they go.

You orientate the rotor for the vanes, not the grooves.

As an aside the Project Mu rotors dont have proper vanes anyway so this stuff doesnt matter very much.

Flat out getting this car finished guys, most fluids are in and 50% of interior left to put back in

Photos will come as soon as I can

NEED SOME HELP PLEASE GUYS.......CAN ANYONE HELP WITH FACTORY NISSAN PLACEMENT/MEASUREMENTS OF ALL THE BADGES/EMBLEMS???

NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT THIS WEEK!!!

Cheers

Insane work, well done... Going to be so bad driving on the road for the first time, I bet you will be able to hear every single bit of sand and dirt hitting the undercarriage :(

Thanks Simon, maybe...but there will be so many other epic noises!

Well I think we can safely say thread is delivering on title as promised...

How many tooth brushes have you gone through to get it to this state???? :) How on earth did you get the plugs, wiring, hose clamps so clean... man!

Love the dedication well done.

Cheers Paul. Mate I am well and truly over cleaning I can tell you that.

This car should not be driven. It should be stored in a garage that is cleaner than a laboratory

Ha Bryce, I don't have that level of will power!! I NEED to drive it.

Coming along nicely love checking in and seeing the progress every week. Seriously though buy another one to drive and wrap this one up to neat to ruin.

Thanks mate. With everything I have learnt I think I will need to buy another one to restore and not drive, one day....

robbie will you ever sell it haha?

Don't think so but you never know right

great thread.

Cheers Paul

Looks too good to take out on the street now :yes: Top work!

Thanks mate. Knees will buckle haha

Jus finished reading this thread from page 1. Superb job so far, cant wait to see this through.

Nice. It's nearly there, just need to get the time to get photos up!

Nice build Robbie, can't wait to see the before and after picture. Yay! Can't really wait to see the final output. Keep up the good work and Goodluck! Will follow this thread. :no:

Cheers! Shouldn't be long now mate. I really wish I had the foresight to take more photos of the car before ripping into it...

Power output figure will be interesting

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
