now for some big ass brakes and you could fool everyone!

till they see the interior that is :P

Yeah trying to stop spending on the car for now haha

Car looks great.

After having it for a while, how do you find the car's power delivery and driving characteristics at this power level? Would it be tolerable for a daily?

Hrmmm....Going from a sort of linear 280rwkw on the ss2 to a non-linear 350rwkw 3582.

ss2 definately beter for everyday driving- but i got bored of 280rwkw pretty fast

350rwkw is plenty push in back shit your pants sometimes kind of power

I think one of the new ss2's and bump up the psi to 22-24 for around 330-350rwkw would be great as a daily driver!

It dont need spacers. Looks great

But i want to be hektik

Great build mate.

Thanks!

How did you manage to fix the gap between the bonnet and front bar dude?

OEM brackets lift the front bar up enough plus rubber piece in between the bonnet and bumper?

Its not 100% yet but pretty darn close just waiting on some inner headlight brackets

You need the GTR reo, outer and inner brackets then upper retainer and rubber then shell be right

  • 1 month later...

So this year I've decided i want to head back out to the track.

Just need to fix my heater hoses and fit an oil coolver.

In the meantime replacing my Tein HA suspension to BC ER Coilover 9kg front 7kg rear

I went to go back and re-read this beautiful build, and maybe it's just me, but it appears a lot of the image links are broken?

Dang, that is going to be a pain to relink them all :/

Edit attached some images back up

Noooooooooo Tony!! Return them and get Tein Street Advance!!

I only got them for $750, this is still a budget build

Works for Richo so must go ok!

No big deal! I believe the Street Advance is better than the BC's, but not a HUGE difference between the two if you're only paying $750 for BCs!

Where can one buy BC's for $750?

Edit: NVM read up..

lol at budget build :wub:

So the GTR coilovers didnt end being the best fit, as they are quite shorter than the GTT ones.

Returned to seller, so send me a PM if you to re-buy them

lol at budget build :wub:

Its not too bad

Incl the repurchase of the car after written off, I would estimated the whole engine rebuild, body kit and respray, wheels, everything to get to where its at would be about $20k or under

I take it they were for R34 GTR? Other wise where do I get those Tiens from at $990?

Yeah GTR ones, which are a bit shorter

Oil cooler has arrived

15row Greddy style Oil cooler from Vulture Motorsport.

Will be getting this installed with braided lines and a Greddy thermostat at Scotty's on the weekend. And maybe some ducting

Current temps where about: 95c just normal highway driving

And would take about 2 laps at Sandown to go past 120c

Ducting makes all the difference if you're installing it in behind the bumper bar, trust me on this one :P

Without it you might make 3 laps and then have to cool off. Duct it properly and you could manage to go the entire session as hard as you want, assuming it's an efficient setup.

Thanks for the Info!

Lets hope Scotty is up to the task!

In other news received these today, as I think the stock rubber ones are getting really old. Don't want to risk it on the track!

    • 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!
