"EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL INSIDE AND OUT." Proceeds to show a big list of mods as well as a set of photos with an anything but standard R32 GTS-T Lol.. honestly with a JSAI GTR front bar and some time cleaning up the car it wouldn't be too bad a buy but it's hard to tell without actually seeing it, the rails, the bushings, engine/box etc Depends on your ability to fix these things, if you're never planning to take it to a mechanic it could be a cheap skyline to thrash about but if you're going to be paying a mechanic to fix things then I'd personally steer clear as from what I can see it'll need a few trips to the wreckers and weekends worth of work to get it up to a somewhat normal standard.

Yeah mate careful, the Japanese are pretty well known for skipping details and poor build quality with products they manufacture.. lol..

I believe the center bore size of the wheels on Evo's are different to skylines. 7 Wheels look awesome!

Interesting! One question, with the electric pumps do you also run a cooler on the return line? Or does it work a little differently? Thanks!

Exhaust gas will flow the path of least resistance, easier to flow out of a crack into the atmosphere than to push a turbine wheel. How big is the crack?

Yes, you read that correctly! I'm looking to buy 1, or more Nismo wheel nut(s), the short type as I'm missing one and don't want to buy a whole new set. If you have spares, or are missing some please let me know and I'll buy 1 or more of them. Before you ask; Yes I am that ridiculous and yes I am that pedantic! Thanks! Jordy

Cheers! Good luck with it mate, I love that lip and I want it a lot, but I know I'll blow it to bits.. I don't trust myself with it haha

I have them I bought them from JSAI directly and they arrived a couple days later. I cover painting and installing them in my build thread, here's a link to the post.

Ah fair enough. I'm located in Sydney so I had to get it shipped either way and ended up just ordering it and paying online. In saying that, I never really had to communicate with them so I can't comment on that

I got my lip from them. Didn't really have much trouble with them at all

If you're looking to go down the fiberglass/NOT OEM look, then I'd personally suggest JSAI. In terms of oem style, gumtree/wreckers.

Gates Timing belt, or GKtech fan are common suspects for whine, if you've got either of those then I'd start by looking at those. As mentioned above, lifters won't whine

This is a cool car, I saw it at Redsun actually That plenum adapter is a shame, I asked Matt about it after seeing it installed on your car and he showed me a number of photos which look identical to the ones above. It's possible but no way is it as "bolt-on" as Otaku Garage claim.. From seeing how it was made to work in person I can confidently say there's no way they actually bolted an RB26 plenum to an RB25 head with this adapter.

Clean car mate! Welcome and enjoy!

lol, is this real? buy a new pcv valve and hose. why make things more difficult than they need to be

I've got a motorkhana / wet pan day coming up this Monday which I'm keen for. I've done a few little service items to get the car in shape for it as you would for any other track day. I started by getting a wheel alignment, I hadn't gotten a wheel alignment after installing the diff and new subframe, or the coilovers so this was well and truly overdue. I then took it home for a wash I also got a water temp gauge as the standard one isn't overly helpful. I'm not a huge fan of aftermarket gauges so I've put it in the glovebox with an alarm set on it. It's out of the way and can still get my attention if needed. I started by running power and signal wires from the glovebox over to the steering column area where all the other wiring is Plugged in and mocked up a spot for the gauge I then put the sensor into an aeroflow temp sensor adapter I bought: And put the top rad hose back on; Gave the cooling system a quick bleed, set the alarm and we're done! Simple peace of mind mod!

gktech ones are ok but I can also confirm that the paint chips off really easily which is a shame; their older style wheel nuts were quite good.

They look fantastic!

replace crush washers (can be bought at repco/super cheap auto <$5 ) clean it up and monitor if it still leaks grab a new line, braided is probably easiest and you'll be sorted.

Awesome, following this!

so it's a stock 34 gtt for 30k? wow

GCG have all sorts of alloy pipes https://gcg.com.au/petrol-performance/performance-1/aluminium-piping/alloy-reducer-with-straight-section-4-0-inch-3-0-inch-detail It's not cast, but it hardly matters

I've blown a stock 21U in that exact fashion and found the oil feed to the turbo blocked, so that's a good thing to check. If you don't already have one, put a new braided line there to ensure it's clean and crank the car to make sure there's oil flowing. While you're only running 5psi you have no idea how hard it might have been pushed in it's past life and it could have been waiting to happen, they are sadly not well known for their strength..

I have an R34 GTT with Cusco tension rods (pillow ball) and the increase in NVH was honestly negligible In saying that, I wouldn't be putting pillow ball bushes anywhere else on my car.
