Wanna swap role cages? I love the look of yours through the back window.

Roll cage rice? ;)

It's one of the more comprehensive bolt-in cages I've seen, out of Japan. Apart from being bolted into the floor, it's also bolted into the front, upper seat belt bolts on each side.

Made by a company called Carbing, probably long out of production.

That sticker on the top bar proudly proclaims in Engrish something like "Carbing - Enjoy Motorsport Spirits" (or something to that effect)

Still have the parts for the front section.

What's the deal in VIC with having a full cage on the road?

36c Day in Melbourne today.

Booked in to get the aircon checked out, at a place that does Hychill.

Let's see if an aircon system that hasn't been used in 9 years can still work :-/

Got these interior storage mats today. Thanks for the heads up Anfanee!

Was 30c today. Finally got the aircon sorted since I got the car. Regassed with new seals/valves with Hychill.

As far as i'm concerned. The car is as luxurious as a Bentley now.

How cold is it with the Hychill? I got mine regassed across the road and I'm not very impressed! I keep telling myself it's an old car, but I definitely think it could be better.

Pretty cold (so far). Cost me 205 dorra. How much was it across the road? I gave them the history of the car. They put an amusing disclaimer at the bottom of the receipt. Don't blame them really.

Seeing water temps at around 100c (on the HKS gauge), (93c on the Power FC), sitting in traffic.

I'm dropping it off @Racepace to get a couple of things done including taking a look at the fan clutch which might not be engaging. Also going to get a radiator fan shroud.

Bilsteins are out & the Racepace Teins RE's in. The first thing I noticed was how much lighter each coilover was compared to the Bilsteins.



Good initial impressions on public roads. Goes to show that spring rates are only half the story.


Bilsteins 7/5kg


Racepace Teins : 8/4kg



Have had them on the softest setting so far. They’re less harsh with better dampening than the Bilsteins. They do soak up minor bumps on the road rather well. Dips in the road, railway tracks and speed humps don’t have that big jolt that you’d expect. That said they’re still a track orientated coilover so they’re still very firm.



All said i’m still impressed with the Blistens as there is quite a price difference between them and the Teins. Am half tempted to keep them in storage.



Will post up some on track impressions later. Hopefully get it out to some SAU 2015 events starting with the motorkhana coming up, to get a better feel for them.

I need new suspension soon :\

What have you got in there now and what's wrong with them?

LOL. I hear you. But it'll look like the one I got within 2 track days, plus no moving parts and I need it this weekend :)

Old Teins, i may be able to rebuild them and see how they go. They are little hard for what i like. Though they could be f**ked haha

and yeah i suppose. Didn't think of track damage as mine won't ever see a day of it....

She is coming along nicely man!

BTW you got sick of that footrest yet? :woot:

I've heard that Tein Super Street's are pretty good.

Thanks mate.

LOL Funny you mention the footrest. I've got it all double sided taped but haven't put it on. Additional job for this weekend :)

Some odd and ends from RHDJapan for some upcoming small projects.

IMG_2961_zpsabe91366.jpg

Brake Line A Clamps, Sideskirt clips & Nice shiny new replacement door handles.

On a separate note, I finally measure the offset of the 17"s that came with the car.

+0 Offset TE37's. Figures why they filled out the guards so well for a 9" rim.

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
