My R34 Gt-T Street/track Build/diary

[iruvyouskyrine]

Also, i should have sprayed my block black while it was out, damn yours looks sexy with those cam covers!

[blah_blah]

I would also be down for a set for sure, do speedflow do black fittings, as the blue and red anodized look nice but easy for the cops to pick up on, i would rather keep everything stealth if possible! I checked with Stao and yes the highflows use the same size fittings as the standard turbo so myself and Miguelone would need exactly the same fittings as yourself.

Yes all fittings even the braided lines are available in black, however prices may vary because its a different 'series'.

Yeah its quite easy to do whilst the engine is out hey

In any case you can still do you cam covers as they are not that much effort to remove when the engine is still on the car

Just an update

Motor was put in last weekend and she's been running since!

Car is currently at the mechanics undergoing a RWC:

Once rego'd will rack on 1,000km's.

Bump it to 23 psi then dyno @ Chequered Tunning!

[34GeeTeeTee]

Oh wow! Its all happening!

[scotty nm35]

Let me know when it's getting tuned mate, I want to drop down for a look. (and a kebab, that shop next door has great food.)

When is Trent back from the US?

[blah_blah]

Didn't get to take that many pics from the install weekend but here is a few:

Getting the gasket on before the manifold goes on. I will say it was a bitch to get some of the nuts on for the manifold

NGK bcp7res gapped to 0.8mm with Genuine nissan coil packs

Car been sitting outside so long it has plants growing in it:

Getting the clutch on:

One of the benefits of a rebuild. Getting stickers

Initial impressions when driving the car, I was afraid that the clutch would be heavy as fu*rk. But it is surprising light. Even lighter than my old clutch which was an Xtreme organic heavy duty clutch that only handles ~260kws or there abouts. And this handles 380rwkw!

Oh wow! Its all happening!

Can't wait for the dyno results, and being able to thrash her again!

I let you know! Stao from Hypergear is also coming down to watch as he is keen to see what the max a ss2 internal gate on 98 will do.

Trent just got back from the US a few days ago. Workshop is back open!

Will also need to pay Scotty Customs a visit after to get a turbo bracket made

[34GeeTeeTee]

Awesome, will keep an eye out for results

[Grimesy]

Been following this from the beginning and its a great build.
Also what clutch have you got? Looks similar to the NPC carbotic.

Thanks.

I saw the shop was open Today as I drove past, have you booked it in yet? Must be quite a line of cars for him to catch up on.

No problem, drop in anytime and explain what you want made. I have some good ideas on it already.

It's an NPC. I've been told its a Heavy Duty cushioned Button one. Also has the billet lightweight flywheel. Drive ability I didnt have any issues with

Thanks.

Not booked in yet. Have a feeling there will be a few things ill need to fix up for the RWC.

But yeah always need to book a week or so in advance with Trent!

[RB2600]

Awesome to see it up and running already! Keen as mustard to see end result when Trent has done his magic on it! Congrats dude

[Leroy Peterson]

1000kms taking it easy will take a lot of restraint

not looking forward to doing the same when mine is done. its a shame the paint job gets covered up once in the engine bay.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Any progress mate? RWC sorted?

[blah_blah]

No updates sorry

Mechanic I have taken it to is pretty busy, so might take a little while.

Will update as soon as I get a RWC!

[34GeeTeeTee]

No worries Will check back in soon then!

[blah_blah]

So finally the car is back on the road and is registered!

Bit of a delay due to:

Roadworthy:

Getting rims that didnt fit

Getting a stock cat from a Stagea that didn't fit

New radiator blown

Heater core playing up

And then in a dispute with Vicroads on whether I needed a VIV, so ended up looking up the legislation which said I didn't need one

So time to rack up some 1000kms and then a tune with Trent when he gets back from O/S

Then once that is done this project aint over!

Going for wider front + rear guards to fit wider rims and tyres. So watch this space

[Leroy Peterson]

So do you need some help getting kms on the car? cause im dying here driving an auto all the time haha

glad its back on the road.
