u wont fit 15' rims on gtst brakes, fronts will with a spacer

32 or 33?

32 GTST Brakes will fit under 15"s.

The rears are fine, the fronts possibly requiring it a spacer.

More to do with where the spoke meets the lip of the rim - sometimes clashes with caliper.

If its 33 brakes, dunno about the fronts.

yea whoops may have been thinking of 14's

hey funky, whats the go with the ceffy is it;

a) running

b) in the shop

c) sold

?

rewiring the ignition wiring. worked out it was missing like a kent cos 3 coilpacks were munted.

picked up a full set of 4 CA18 coilpacks for $80 from a bloke who owned a Datto 1200 ute and pulled 3 of em out and about to chuck em in. While I was at it decided to revarnish and wrap the coilpacks so they last a bit longer. Gotta go to South Dandy and pick up the coil winding varnish and heatproof insulation tape though. Maybe on the weekend or something. Also pulled apart the wiring loom and redoing it. So once all that is put together, all back in the car and should run like new ;)

Then off to the workshop to get a roady, then advertising for sale :down:

While it was parked outside my house (granted for 2 months straight) some kent's tried to jam a key in to force the lock and snapped the key off inside it. Luckily I got central locking alarm on it, so don't have to use a key to get into it. Still... shit of a job trying to fish a key blade out of a barrel, might have to take the door apart to pull the barrel out.

ah good to see there's progression, whats this coil winding varnish? will you be doing the coil pack loom with thicker wires for a possible better spark or are you rewiring the ignitor?

i used to spot it every time i came home so being not out the front made me think you sold it, but thats not far off anyway.

dam that stucks, maybe i shud get my alarm working... if you cant get it out a lock smith should be able to get it out.

i'll assure you that it wasn't me trying to see if the cefiro keys work the same :(

yes, they are basically slight better then s13 sr20det brakes

half the time coilpacks fail is cos the insulation flakes off or chips when changing spark plugs. When winding transformers we use this varnish that insulates the coil and is high temp resistant, which works well in an engine. basically you clean the coipack with methanol and then recoat with the varnish. works a treat. I'll have heaps leftover if you wanna grab some and do yours.

    • Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S
    • I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily  
    • Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.
    • I would say 100% that it doesn't matter at all. I have an Al bonnet and I drop it sometimes, push it others. Have done so for 25 years and there's no way to tell that either has caused any problems (because there are no problems).
    • yeah, a black 4 door HR, stock AT RB20DE. Was a pretty good daily summer car, it was kept in a garage during winter but previous owner was fighting rust so most of the car was covered with rust undercoating, the trunk, floorpan, it started to rust underneath so I thought it would be better to find other chassis that was taken care better and do rust preventions myself, at least I would know where keep my attention at. Plans are simple, enjoy the car as much as I can, mostly on summer of course, winter here is long and not kind to 90s JDM, I wanna keep it mostly stock like, I'm not a huge fan of GT-R look or any body kits so gonna keep it as metal as possible haha, something more balanced look wise and yeah, work on performance, I was thinking about RB25DET but 20DET actually feels fun, as long as it's reliable I think I might keep it.
