Alright so the van is decided to get hand brakes afterall since i may get a cheap center setup.
Also, rims will be going in Takata green and calipers will be gold with black writing. Silver wheel nuts will be used.(Still unsure yet, need some parts sold first)
too lazy to post updated pics, finally got a UNSHAKEY video of the van, kinda scary to know ALL the time was on little less than half throttle. Reason why he is not going full is bcuz he has minor adjustments to make.
GTT Installs: -Greddy Timing Belt Installed -N1 Oil Pump Installed -Entire Bottom End Refreshed -Transmission Oil Cooler Installed -Intake Manifold Installed, Custom Adapter for NEO RB25 Valve Installed -Awaits Fuel Rail -Turbo Installed -Manifold Installed -Wastegate Installed -Intercooler being customized with casted elbows, 3" in/out -Customer Braided Oil Feed Line Made -Awaiting to collect oil drain for turbo, flexy type pipe stainless steel -Awaiting on Aluminum Radiator and some other neat stuff.
Thinking to let him install an emanage instead while keeping the SAFC NEO on for display of other stuff and removing the airflow wires from it.
Engine bay starting to form Lowest setting on coilovers, will be adjusting after bumper is on GTR Original Spoiler with Aluminum Adjustable Blade Spoiler shot with monster in background HKS Coilovers Side Shot Before it was completely jacked down Front Bumper Lined up
My mech's full race car shaping up, now the real work starts! Its not your average sr20 inside
Here is a video of my van once more, If i had more guts to record by the pedal area and not hold on properly, i would of shown you but this vid was not close to half throttle. And yet it flings rpm like wow! Its pulling REAL hard now, and still have a few more adjustments to make. There is NO traction at all, so i dunno what else to do but think about a softer compound tyre or try some 305/40 series on it with low pressure. LOL....At about 2:21 in the clip to 2:25 or so you can see what happens by just pressing more than half, it just goes loose!
The vid was recorded sideways, so its showing kinda weird as i had to rotate it
More additions for the R34 are: -Clear Timing Belt Cover -Adjustable HKS Exhaust Pully -Water/Meth kit -Headlight eyelids carbon fiber -Bonnet vent, similar to the evo7 bonnet vent on the side, not the middle one -Rear Carbon diffuser
Aaron 2NR - LOL, nah, have no really pressed more than twice full throttle on it, trying to work out some stuff to try and get the wastegate opening a little later than it should, so far we kinda got it a bit, but apparently the adjustment was too little. Once we can get traction on 2nd about half throttle, that should be it.
Right now the van is just a pure drifter, it goes where you want sliding, but i want it to be traction-full while cruising or just overtaking. Dont wanna slide an overtake and scare the hell out of someone
forgot about this thread yes......should be home tomorrow or sunday, dunno if i even feel to go for it....these days feeling too tired from excessive work and lack of $$$$
nope, don't think any handbrakes will be installed yet, money was short and cant afford it right now. Its still cheap but when i get the extra to do so will buy it. Prefer the hydro handbrake rather than the cable.
Van was supposed to finish 2 weeks ago but mech got sick.
OK so tray etc everything is finished, welded off the modified humps from the coilovers. Mech called and said with the tray on, with the toolbox weight, there is alot of traction and the van is pulling alittle more insane, really really nice! Glad to hear that news. Apparently, the A/C is rescheduled for tuesday, so will be checking to see how much gas the tank now holds.
^^Not sure, Mech will be adjusting it for which is best i guess.
Im missing out on alot of opportunity to make money transporting, so fast a total of over 15 transport jobs lost! It may be possible to keep this van and finish the evo project! Mech called me and told me the van is like a normal diesel van on cruise and idle, people will NEVER expect it, but once you boost, the scream pipe will scare the hell out of you.
Said its one of the most wickedest sounding RB he has heard
lol.. like how you constructed the subframe. looking strong and with the the nissan rear end you gonna like urself!! yea milk the van for all of its down time when you get it back...
Good thing i eh go for it yet, i now find two gauges in a corner brand new doing nothing, and its an electrical oil pressure (WOOHOO!) and an oil temperature! TWO IMPORTANT GAUGES FOR THIS MACHINE!
This mechanic likes to do endless testing on projects, good thing, bcuz theres a tiny bit of bugs to sort out which should be sorted out today.
Launched the van yesterday after the a/c and the front tyres were hopping off the ground lol....He still has to adjust a few things, camber etc to get it to stop, altho that would be fun but dangerous on the road and rainy weather lol. Under boost the van feels very light in front, good gforce feedback which is what i wanted.
Should be completed today finally and well, lets see if i get blank today again for a ride
Its been like 6-7 months i have not driven this van! Wow
Building a project the right way and getting it done properly does take time. I know i could of gotten it in less than a month but i would be back and forth trying to sort out issues. This is just to collect, drive, full gas and maintain.
Van is for sale, so lets here what people has to offer. Think about the cost to do this and the cost of a van like this in excellent no rust no hit condition.
