Good son of rajab... Kwaka... I am just going to sit here and applaud. Why I never thought of cooling ambient air with ambient air is just a kick in the nuts. And I spent all that money on turbocharg

i just did this n/a mod, took my turbo off, put a TB on teh cooler and BANG, made 215kw before, this definitely feels like it made at least high 200's, next mod will definitely be to remove a few valves to get the insides of the motor freed up from all that compression.

seriously, thanks fellas, and another plus, I sold that shit turbo stuff and got enough cash for like 10 slabs

why would i do that? I came in here to say thanks mate, I'm not the best with cars and this was a nice simple mod. don't know why you would say I'm bullshitting?

the next mods make sense to me, remove what it is that is resricting movement, faster movement, more revs i would say

Just another question, anyone had problems with their front indicators being too close together on a road worthy?

That problem happens when you run out of Indicator Fluid. It allows the indicators to appear as though they're closer then they are, and blueslippers won't pass them.

Refill the fluid and they look normal again.

It's all to do with light waves bending as they go through different materials, without the liquid the light bends together, and hence they look close together.

Spoke to my mechanic while on lunch break at work & I was unsure what brand of fluid you'd recommend as he was going to charge me $300 to refill them?

So is it due to diffraction as the light travels through the gap in my bumper that causes interference & therefore makes my indicators seem closer together?

Don't bother with the fancy brand name indicator fluids (nismo, LOL, what a ripoff!), just pick up some cheap manometer indicator fluid, it is exactly the same stuff!

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
