What size is the tyre and do you know what camber specs? its pretty much the look I'm aiming for.

275/35 .. Camber specs are changing this saturday again so I'll give you final numbers then.. I think front camber will be somewhere like -4.0 and -3.0 at the rear, but i'll confirm on saturday.

So it has been a while since I've updated this and there has been a lot happen since the last update... So here goes!

Bought an ARC intercooler, Ikeya Rear LCA's and ARC (Auto Refine Company) fully adjustable sway bars

You can see the difference to stock sway bars here.. These made a world of difference to the handling. (I probably should've done them sooner)

Fitted them along with the Ikeya rear LCA's.

Fitted the ARC Intercooler as the stock one was looking worse for wear, and I actually picked up throttle response as a result!!

Now the front end looks so much cleaner!

Then we had an event to promote Gran Turismo Sport at World Time Attack and I had the privilege to be on track with many other great cars!

Also managed to snap a shot of Keiichi Tsuchiya with my car after I got to drive on track with him!

And now that all of the suspension components have been changed to fully adjustable gear, it was time to upgrade the brakes!

So final pic with standard Brembos on it.

Then we started to get to work and pulled everything off..

Cut a small section off the backing plate and the hub (part that holds the factory brake line in place) then fitted the adapter.

I love how good these things look and how massive they are!

20171103_095059.jpg


So skipping ahead, we mounted the brackets and calipers and got to work on fitting the braided lines and modifying the hard lines to suit..

For the rears we used the Supertec bells as it was so much easier and has a big weight saving too, compared to the standard R35 units..

While we were at it, we upgraded to the BM57 as it utilizes a larger bore and improves pedal feel etc etc.

Finally mounted the rotors

Bled the brakes and used only the best fluid available.

Hosed down the underbody to remove any potential brake fluid lingering around.

End Result.....

I cannot begin to explain how big of a difference this made over the standard brembos, you need to experience it to understand, and i'm only using the standard brembo pads that came from factory with the calipers.

So I haven't updated this in a while because no time/lazy.

A lot has happened in the past month and I finally accumulated the parts I needed to get things moving.

So here's a pic as it tells a 1000 words.

Expecting it to be tuned within the next 2 days on 98 and E85.

Parts added are:

(1.2mm Tomei headgasket is already done)

Kelford 272 degree cams
Kelford Beehive valve springs and Ti retainers

Tomei cam gears

ARP2000 headstuds

Plazmaman fuel rail

ID 1700cc Injectors

FPG twin 460 walbro in-tank setup

HKS T51R SPL BB

HKS 60mm GTII wastegate

4inch from the dump pipe down to an ARC 4inch titanium exhaust

So tuning is finally complete!!

It's now making 364rwkw (23psi) on pump 98 and 472rwkw on E85 (30psi) and rev limit has been upped to 8,500rpm.

Kept it relatively safe because I care about the motor!. Will take it down to the strip and just do a mph run to see what it's capable of soon.

It is great seeing other people's setup and appreciating the hard work and $$$ that have gone into the build.

The gauges look great. Do you have a wider angle pic showing how they fit into the interior?

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
