Understanding that if you are in a client-facing role, a first-impression and your words/promises is what builds confidence but all of that comes undone if you can't deliver. I'll continue to brap in my skyline. I'll save all my styling to making on-point powerpoints which are fire.

Sure as long as rest of vwl going

I'll drive it

can i play too? $250k salary noworriesmate #Alexwages jokes...thems the in/out spending of a car/engine build

M8 nothing wrong with Northside. How north is she?

People who repair technology today are cheap-skates and my dad has had enough dealing with annoying customers. He fixes industrial machines for companies now. Companies much easier to deal with.

Spotted Dezz at Bunnings

Bath time! Looked a bit oval & we cant have that! Looking more round criss-cross Before & After New kid on the block Now we wait for the crank collar & clutch so we can balance it all up & start to assemble

Top picture is your factory option Type-m sideskirt. Bottom picture is without the sideskirt. If you want that look, just remove the sideskirts.

no idea what type of lip it is, I picked it up from a friend who imported his car with the lip. It's quite unique as its shaped specifically for the gtst front-bar only like-for-like with a r33 rb25 engine. Unfortunately the NEO uses different body plugs so a lot of chopping & swapping is required. I'll dive into it once Im ready to start wiring in the engine

I had a short stint in Perth where I moved myself & the car across but I've since returned back to Melbourne ====== Good News! My Nismo 1.5way LSD has arrived from Japan. Apparently the last one in stock, a quick-turn around thanks to Jesse Streeter! Full engine gasket kit on its way from Kudos Motorsports & hopefully will get an update on the rb25 gearbox rebuild tomorrow

Since when did I mess up a build, my rb20 was on point.

It begins.....

R32 GTST rb25 neo rebuild So thought I would start a build thread for my 1993 nissan skyline r32 gtst. As the Vic regulars may know, having owned her for 10yrs, the mighty rb20 had never let me down. Always waving the rb20 propaganda flag!! Previously running a hks2530 with all supporting mods, the little '20 was putting out a respectable 230kw atw in its daily trim. Until recently, with 250,000km on the clock, the car started to feel a bit hesitant. A compression test/leak down test revealed a low-compression/leaking cylinder So the first step was to pull off the head in the hopes it was a valve issue... Off with your head.... Sent off the head to be inspected but it showed up all fine??? Confused...so my options were to either bolt it all back together & hope for the best, or start fiddling with the rb20 block... Decided that the easiest option would be to retire the long-serving rb20 & drop in a rb25 NEO and be on my merry way. RIP rb20 Having found & purchased a wrecker rb25 NEO, I felt it would be best to inspect & freshen up before fitting into the r32... Sent the Head & Block off to be inspected & with any gamble in buying second-hand motors, the news wasnt good... Number 1 conrod bearing had spun & caused a bit of damage to the crank. Oil pump drive on the crank nose was also damaged which would indicate the oil pump gears could be damaged as well... Fortunately the seller of the engine was a top-bloke & offered a partial refund as I was still committed to rebuild the engine! So the engine build continues with a freshen-up of the Head with 'Performance Spring' valve springs & retainers on their way from QLD... & for the block - new goodies have been purchased. For the oil pump, I have opted for Lewis Engines oil pump spline gears - controversial? mysterious? - lets see what happens http://www.lewisengines.com.au/new-product-rb-spline-drive-gearsets-and-drive-kits/ and for the block, my arm was twisted into buying CP forged pistons & Manley rods So this is where we land today - a couple of other things happening in the background - rb25 gearbox rebuild & Nismo LSD - but will update once I receive updates myself. Wiring, on the hand, is something i'm putting off at this stage as its not as simple as a r33 rb25 drop-in. The rb20 loom is out & I have a Neo loom to mix/match/hack into...or I might just opt for a Wiring Specialties new loom & save the headache? http://www.wiringspecialties.com/rb25-neo-wiring-harness-r32-gts/ Only time will tell, watch this space & thanks for reading

Has a couple of good runs with 88e and is now shopping for lysterfield homes

"Could be turned into a show car or a race or drift car or just daily drive car." I guess 'turned into a shit car' has already been achieved. What a pointless statement, may as well say it can be turned into a f**king wombat.

Any chance it would fit under the stock heat shield & line up with standard intercooler piping?

So what turbo Scotty recommends then?

Dat Neo rebuild....soon

If you throw in the towel, Apexi return-flow r32 front mount requires no cutting & is a direct bolt-on. (Disregard the box in the photo)

From what I heard it was an open wifi connection and someone connected onto it with their Samsung and prob loaded up PH for the lols

Lol Martin - pls share more stories about your antivirus company slip-up.

Awesome pods. Still use the r32 design.

My bottleshop sells espresso martini's in jars. What have you created Hamish??

We had 20 running in Brunswick. Had to number them all too ugh All a bunch of greenies full of hopes and dreams
