pedal box is mounted and lines up perfecto with the other pedals :(

got the front struts off atm, and repainting all the underside of the gaurds, and struts/suspension stuff to clean it all up. getting the bonnet latch, radiator mounts and a few other bits and pieces chromed while they are off too cause they look like shit atm.

took a photo of the suspension springs and shocks, ones cleaned and ones how it looked when they came off the car :D

26 will be test fitted next weekend to check clutch master clearance and try out my new baffled enlarged gtr sump i just got :aroused:

gotta move the power steering resoviour to the front so i can fit two 3" intake pipes on the inlet side :D just needs two longer hoses (thankfully it aint the metal lines i gotta change)

gotta make the front pipes from dumps/cat convertor after that and then sort out the handbrake using a r33 one probably, then the tricky wiring and stuff is gonna be sorted by hyperdrive motorsport thankfully :D

so around end of january and it should be goin if everything goes to plan :rofl:

oooh baby cant wait till you take the beast down to the track for a run down the quarter she should reel off a fairly impressive time ;)

what other mods are planned?

hey mate well plans atm are

rb26 engine

gtr 5 speed

twin plate clutch

highflowed turbos (stock housings, bigger wheels)

sard 700cc injectors

twin 3" k&n pod filters

3" cooler piping

3" intake pipes to turbos

bosch motorsport 044 fuel pump, and better intank pump (not sure what yet)

gtr intercooler

autronics smc ecu :rant:

custom BOV

oil catch can

external oil filter kit

enlarged and baffled sump

in the vl it made 350rwhp only revvin to 7200rpm, and can rev to 8500rpm but i told him to be easy incase something is worn and i really wanted to use it abit b4 i blew it up :rant:

thats the stuff i have atm from the vl so next upgrades are...

apexi or similiar 100mm+ cooler

hks 2530 turbos

with those 2 mods alone my tuner reckons power will go from 350rwhp with highflows to 450rwhp with 2530s and cooler, boost :(

and the 2530s will be more responsive than the highflow turbos as mine are slightly laggier than stock gtr ones and hks 30s r the same as stockies :headspin:

so in the vl it did 12.0 @ 118mph (low 11s roughly) thats on slicks too.

with 4wd it should be a 12 second car for sure :) and with the 2530s maybe 11s on street tyres is possible :)

sure will shock the local hsv/xr6T guys :rofl:

a volvo shaped wagon eating there 80K hsv :aroused:

thats enough from me

also tomorrow im test fitting the rb26 engine in for the first time :( to check clutch booster clears the plenum and then we gotta make new exhuast from the 3" dump pipes (already made from VL install) to the single 3" cat back system on the stagea at the moment, so we will run twin 3" upto a merging pipe and into a single high flow cat or one of those really $$$ ones they tested in a recent zoom or HPI magazine that flowed heaps better than normal high flow units.

piccies to come and info as it happens

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      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?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
