I thought he just stripped them to sell for kebabs and kept the spicey shit for himself to build ironic LeMons cars?

 

Have you used the oil cap breather before fatz?

Looked like a good stop gap measure.

Going off topic here but you obviously track your gtr's unlike most owners.

What brakes are going on this thing? 

Simple setup

r35 front with dba rotors and winmax pads 380mm

rear are 6 piston brembo on a Hemi 300c 350mm dba rotor Winmax pads 

and having played brakes on a lot of gtr I went with a PE engineering full pedal box with adjustability

Yea had it on my last r33 did 6 years of track days (10-20 a year)

keep the oil cap connection open and put a one way valve on your catch can drain back

but I also run a external catch can scavenge pump (weldon external dry sump pump) which sucks the can dry over 6k rpm( this is just for extra f**k you oil control)

I've been looking at dry sump for my new motor  but with what I've learned froim tracking my old one and just general research I reckon I can setup a decent enough wet sump for little $$ My current setup is a mess of hoses but worked ,all rocker vents and sump into baffled, vented can with a sump drain. New motor shouldn't breath as heavy, will have bigger sump with some breather ports welded on etc. 

Got pics of this external scavenge setup? Belt driven or elec.

So much RB wisdom in one post.

Gtrs are for discussing whos oem parts are the cleanest now 

Hey I take offence at that! Oh no wait... totally me... (only cause i can normally win!)  ?

Seeing a bit of back and forth/pissing contest between 2 of my local car club guys, 280rwkw silvia and over 500awkw GT-R, both running the same times at winton (silvia now fractionally faster, both in the 1m27s bracket) both on the same slicks.

GT-R guy reckons he needs bulk coin to go any faster, Silvia guy just lunched his LS and is going to actually build one for something more than 280rwkw and reckons there's more lap time to be had easily.

I love GT-Rs, but are they really a good track platform? Heart says yes, brain says no :(

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
