Well I've already done the suspension but only half installed the new guages.

I'm replacing the ugly hose to the catch can today with a nice smooth black one.

Front bar goes back on and the rest of the dash after lunch.

Just organised all my insurance. Switched to Shannons for Comp and Allianz for CTP.

With any luck I'll be pink slipped this afternoon and registered late today or more likely tomorrow morning.

Small update.

I'm on hols so no big details or pics here but I have done the run in and put some more boost into it. Running 0.9 bar now.

The mid range feels so strong now I hardly go near the redline. I can't wait until I can put some more boost in and rev it up.

I notice the slightly different sounds of the pistons. I now understand what people say about forged piston noise. It's only just noticeable and only because I know my car.

The cams have made the car a little wobbly on start up and given it a slightly lumpy idle. When cold the idle is quite erratic but once warmed up it's just a slight lope. It definitely sounds beastier now.

More updates to come.

just curious about some 52mm boost, exhaust gas and oil temp guages for the standard guage pod.

I would like anyone who pulls apart their gauge pod to measure and measure and measure to see what fits in there.

Check out what I just found.

Defi gauges behind the standard pod.

I've never found this before, so now I'm happy!

also, some other general photos of R34 interiors. Check out that shifter!!!

Pete,

* The internal diameter of the stock GTT guage holes is 60mm

* Defi BF guages (amber or white dial) are only available in 60mm

Therefore the Defi BF (60mm) gauges will fit fine as you can see from the pics, but the bezel will be mounted outside the hole.

This pic shows Defi black 60mm gauges (not BF) fitted.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
