Small update

So a few things. Need to fix the rear camber so ordered hard race rear camber arms.

Also rear end bearings were gone so apparently it is easier to order a full HICAS delete kit:

...

Over the next month will also do a custom cooler piping job and custom airpod box.

May also do Sandown this month but not sure yet

Nice kit! Something to add to the shopping list perhaps is rear traction arms, they'll help counter bump steer in a lowered setup. Here's some more info from when I was looking into that: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448509-wheel-alignment-question-car-feeling-more-skittish/?do=findComment&comment=7570413

Re Sandown, I'm pretty keen on the Tempered session on Australia Day, might see you there :)

Smart plan! I'm hoping to do the same :)

I have signed up for Sandown on the 26th, fingers crossed all of last year's issues are fully sorted. If you end up dropping by look for the silver 34 sedan with black wheels :)

Awesome thread! Car looks brilliant. 

Where did you order your hardrace parts from? I can't seem to find many sellers these days now

    • 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?
    • 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.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
