Jason, is that a Defend or Auto Select cooling panel? Looks great...
I think you need an HKS Kansai tower bar as well

I have one of these



I agree, get one.

Sell me yours.....

Pull the manifold off and paint it....you have small girl hands perfect for GTR work!

I painted mine when it was off....don't paint it while it in the engine

Did you take your plenum out to paint it or did you mask your engine bay off and paint it while it was installed?

I'm currently painting my engine bay pearl white... and I wanna do the plenum but seems like soo much work to take out just to paint it.

I noticed you used zensports dyno for tuning. Did you do your own tuning or did they do it? I'm thinking about going there when I'm visiting Victoria this fall.

I tuned it myself. I prefer to do all my work myself unless I don't have a bearing press or something like weird that.

[MikeyRHD]

Ya I'm the same, but experience wise I think I'd get them to tune for me. How does that oil cooler work for you, what are your oil temps like? BTW nice shift knob! I have the same one but the color in the gtr wore off, hows yours holding up?

Depends on the temp outside really.......when it's 20c outside it's about 78c when it's 30c outside it's about 85c....autoxing it gets about 90c in 25c heat.

As for the Momo shift knob, mine is fine....maybe you have super sweaty hands?

[MikeyRHD]

Haha nope I'm not sure why it came off really. Ever been out on a sunny day and stoped for a while where theres no shade? Dam thing gets hot ouch!

Sounds like it works awsome for ya I want to get an oil cooler but I'm debating wether to buy a kit or piece it together. I was doing some rough price calcs piecing it together but didnt seem like I'd save a whole lot of money.

No

[victoriaGTR]

No

he would have to cut a huge chunk outta it with a sawsall to make it fits past his upgrade.

[GTR--J]

Full-Race manifold ( 6 week wait ) ordered and Borg Warner S300 83/75 60mm inducer.... 90 day wait

going in when turbo gets here....
-Jun 280 duration 11.35 lift cams
-Jun titanium valve retainers
-Jun valves springs
-Jun valve guides
-Jun cam pulleys
-Jun coloured valve covers, cam cover and coil pack cover

[Marke]

-Jun coloured valve covers, cam cover and coil pack cover

I still don't think it goes with your existing colour skeem.

[GTR--J]

I still don't think it goes with your existing colour skeem.

I think it's going to look sweet! The lumpy idle will distract you from the engine bay and to the rear of the car....lol!

[vtec killa]

**** i had no idea ur were doin all that

[GTR--J]

Picked up an Arc 100mm M105 intercooler of YahooJP from daryl the other day.


No word on if the the Full-Race set up is ready yet. The wait for the turbo is probably 2 more months.
I'm also thinking of wrapping my engine cover with carbon fiber instead of the Jun scheme.
What do you guys think about the choices...I think the carbon fiber is pretty slick and the Jun colours say" hey I'm loud wus sup"
