Enough meat in rotors to drill and retap?

There is, the 'tabs' are the same size as the ksport. The rotor is tough as nails though!

Was going to be bit of a risk getting them drilled.

So I hunted around and hopefully when I get home tonight the 8mm rotors are there waiting for me! :unsure:

All the best with WTAC mate.

One question, what do you by way of controlling oil surge? Do you have a sump baffle or restrictor etc?

Cheers

No baffling. Oil cooler plus long lines and 5L of oil.

No restrictor, long lines run from the cam covers to the catch can, then to atmosphere. The can ends up with 20-30ml after a day on the track.

Rev limit is set just over 8k, though the shift light is set at 7k. I only hold to 8k if it means less gear changes.

hey mate love reading about this car! hopefully get mine to yours soon!

What mirrors / where did you get them from? Price?

Also what spoiler and how wide is it?

cheers mate!

I'm not sure what the total width is, 1610mm maybe? It fits flush with the body, so isn't extremely wide.

I bought it second hand on the forums. I think it's a PSI parts knock of the BEE*R R#3 GTR wing.

Is there any risk revving it to 8k on an internally stock engine?

You need to have the valve springs and retainers done etc to sustain the higher revs... Its not ideal but its not as if you are cruising down the freeway on 8k :P

my boost bleeds down to 15-16 by 8k. im sure if youre pushing 20psi the valves will start to float. im on the stock springs.

tao runs tomei springs in his 33.

im shifting around 7800 most of the time. it runs the limiter at wakefield and winton a couple of times a lap. it blows a little into the catch can, 20ml maybe.

I'd also like to know that, especially after reading the BC thread.

It was great having the ability to adjust the rebound.

Having only put them in for the event we are still learning how they react.

Don't have a bad thing to say about them.

Turn off the anti shake crap in YouTube that gives it the wobbles and makes it look like the Time Space continuum is bending around you.

lol, it's turned off. The arm on the camera mount is doing that (I think).

16s in, down the straight, that's the mount?

That's trippy.

It must be just at the right frequency to trip the camera out.

Any more work on the car Richo? What are the plans for 2015?

Play with the aero a bit, more power maybe. Not sure yet.

Still running a standard rear end, none of the arms are after-market. Might look at those.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
