Yeah I understand why it doesn't have a damper, I was just remarking at the humor in how some people have convinced themselves that it's an absolute necessity.
Haha, love you too!

Sorry, kind of forgot about this thread :0 I will update it soon, having some Nice and big parts coming the 20th
Also was without any income at all for 4 months this spring and early summer. Was hard to keep the parts but I survived without selling. Now i've been in a new job for 3 months and already spent about 110,000 Norwegian kroner on parts and new migatronic tig. Wild guess it's around 19,000 us dollars ;D Nismo visit in desember 0.o More updates later, hiding to write this on work lol Sent from my ST27i (shiiit phone) using Tapatalk 2

Hi Guys
Sorry for late reply. I've been trough 4 rough monts without any job. My previous job had a tight budget for 2013 and therefore me and 2 other guys were "fired" 4 months without any income is hard and it really began tearing me. I sold lots of good parts to pay bills etc ![]() Well those parts does not include any of the "really good" parts. Or well, My Crower rods and CP pistons with lateral gasports had to go. Luckily I am pretty decent at TIG welding so a friend of mine got me a few Sundays or welding aluminium on semi trucks at his job. The Boss were happy with the welding and suddenly I got a job. Been working there for about 2,5 months and its a great place. Almost every day have the opportunity of overtime ![]() I finished the intake for the SR ![]() Somehow I am not happy with it. I think it is Shit I will develope a new plenum and runners that will work proper. I really want a carbon plenum but I think I cannot/ should not afford that now, It would probably put this on hold until 2015 or something. I guess price for a carbon plenum will be around 7500 USD Another problem i've come across is the space for a 4" downpipe. Its not possible without cutting the firewall and make space for it. Well its the only way so it have to be done. I've also been working a little on my brothers Volvo 240 Here I had to make a large cut in the firewall to house the 4" downpipe and also needed custom work to fit the sequential mission he is using. + new tunnel for shaft ![]() ![]() Also he aksed if I could fit this radiator without modding the bonnet ?!?! wtf o.O ![]() on Wednesday I took 15 mins off work and went over to Miagtronic over the street, a leading brand in welding here in north Europe. Got to try a few models of their tigs and finally decided on a 200amp AC/DC TIG, which was very good using. It have built in cooling of the wolfram and full digital adjusting. I ordered a 2014 model and I hop eto receive it within next week, fresh from their factory in Denmark. got a great deal on 4700 USD$ With that new welding i hope to be able to weld a little faster as this machine does not need to cool down or other normal stuff for cheaper machines. I opened my diff here the other day, i thought is was a decent KAAZ 1,5 way or something like previous owner of the car told me. SHows it was a oem lsd :/ therefore, I ordered a ATS Carbonetic diff, which have carbon plates for maximum traction and lifetime. It was expensive but I know its worth it. Nissan dealer who sold it to me guarantees 1000hp with timeattack setup Also they gave me a good price on a Greddy diff cover, which holds 1 extra liter of oil. And then I got crazy and ordered 330mm / 13" 4 pot rear brakes 380mm / 15" 8 pot front brakes front brakes are huuge and they would usually require 19" rims but my frind at Endless in Japan said the RAY's TE37SL will fit the brakes in 18" rim. So that kind of saved me, I dont want 19" rims, slick gets more expensive and also it would require a lot of work to the car to house them. ![]() ![]() The brakes, diff and diff cover arrives in mail around 20th this month, will post pics when i get it ![]() I now Only need Rods and Pistons + bearings for the engine, besides that I think it could be possible to start it. Need a clutch, anyone got? 1000 hp -+ rating Going to japan 10th - 22th Desember, there I will meed with a Nismo contact and hopefully it will be a positive meeting. Also provate dinners with "Smokey" Nagata (Top Secret), Sugino san (Endless-R) and Satoshi san (Techno First ) About suspension I've been in contact with a company that will make all arms and knuckles etc in billet 7075 aluminium, also this will be extended 60mm each side from oem s14, so the car will be wider that way, instead of the need for huge spacers, which would kill the wheel bearing. Wont be cheap but will look and perform good ![]() Also I might got my first semi sponsor, aka good prices on Bridgestone Slicks ![]() Goodnight!

![]() ![]() Going to remove the old dana rear axle and build a custom subframe to house a BMW M5 diff with double A arms this winter. Well, it's not that easy haha, believe me I am obsessed and I know everything about those cars, but those intakes are hard to get. I've been in contact with several people all over the world but noone can get a setup. Also it would only work with a N/A engine, as they are not made for holding boost.

Small update
new parts arrived @ friday 18th. @ the boxes. I went 3 times in and out of post office to carry these to my car lol ![]() ![]() You can see I already opened one of them, i had to do, could not wait whole workday to see inside. ![]() must say they are fucking huge! ![]() ![]() ![]() Front on top, rear below. ![]() Rear ![]() front and rear again ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is front kit fitted on the car (at least the caliper) and below are 300zx front brakes... ![]() ![]() ATS Carbonetic LSD 1.5 way Probably one of the best diffs at the market, with internal carbon plates this thing is a golden piece. the carbon plates would take forever to get worn out ![]() the new Migatronic TIG is also lovable. really love how it work and feels when welding, compared to the old "china tig" i used to have for private work on my garage its heaven. Well the old one did the job, but it was slower and required much more service and settings all the time. the migatronic is a "smart" machine so it regulates a lot itself automatically. neon lol ![]() Jewelery ![]() A couple of days ago this was my dinnertable haha! ![]() Women want expensive furniture because then they feel well, but I like to use my homebuilt table to store expensive parts on, and then I feel good ![]() ![]() at a late sunday I quickly made a catchtank for my friends Opel Kadett turbo ![]() ![]() ![]() need a polish tho haha ![]() Also last pics of the block as it per today. ![]() ![]() Also, picked up a old Nismo bar. its superlight! toobad I cannot use it ![]() last thing; Will relocate the steering even lower/rear / semi underside of front subframe and also cut and lower the front subframe about 1/2"/ 1,5CM to get the engine superlow. It will be like, really low <3

Teigen,
You could've saved yourself some weight and cash by going with an alternate braking option. Personally, the Rotora's or any other OTS brake kit are more bling over function. You could've went with Wilwood 6pots and saved tremendous coin and unsprung weight. Either way, I want to see these parts installed, not laying on a damn shelf...

![]() Sorry if I misunderstood you question. Cheers Quote:
brakepads are easy to get (in Norway) for rotora and They were lighter than i thought. not much more weight than oem front caliper. I got a pair of Wilwood SuperLite, but they are too small. Cant use them on anything. I need way more money before these things even can go near my car. Also need to make a new tubeframe rear sub, I feel the OEM one not being good enough. Car have gone in direction of a SuperGT replica / look alike (GT300/GT500) I bought Nismo 18x11" Magnesium center rims from r34 GT500 skyline. also I bought this little car earlier this year. Not a nissan tho ![]() ![]() I feel that I am doing something wrong with my project. sadly it isnt turning into the direction I want it to be. I am obsessed now with GT500 R34 and I am about to take a loan and get a carbon chassis LOL ![]()

I thought there was some wizardry involved with drains, bungs, and steel wool, but if all you did was weld, it. Simple enough for me. Thanks for the reply -Kyle |

Another thing is you typically want it under vacuum at all times. Venting to the atmosphere works, but a can under vacuum has been shown to make more power on a dyno vs atmospheric vented.

put a 4agze ,with turbo on the starlet, stock around 300hp, it will be flying.
about the carbon plenum: in the horsepower you wanna be, i would advice against it. first of all, you will need to have a design that works. you can do modifications to an aluminium construction easily, but not to a carbon. the other thing is high boost. to get 1000hp as you want ,you want this thing to be strong. which means a two piece construction is a no-no. the only way to do this properly is the following. after making your original (its called plug) and making your mold, there's a material called aquapour. you mix this with water and its like cement. you pour it in your (two-piece) mold, and after it has hardened, you take it out. apply carbon fiber and resin around it, and vacuum bag it. its gonna be ugly looking, but the interior is what matters. after it has cured, you can wash the aquapour out of the isides just by using water. and you re left with just the manifold. now, when i was researching how to do this i was afraid to bolt it directly to the block, so i thought i'd use an old manifold cut it off and connect the two with silicon couplers.(or vband clamps or whatever) personally i think the gains are too little to get into such trouble. (but it's maximum restecpa when you open the hoood and show it off)
