  2. Been a good 3 years since updating this, might aswell show something happening but keeping it short and sweet..

    I had a slight issue (slowly got worse) where the car was blowing blue smoke on decel.
    Looks like either the guide is cracked or head, or both.

    Thought the head has to come off at least, so why not pull the whole engine, subframe and everything else to respray the bay and do a full nut and bolt restoration on the front end 🤮

    So respray is booked in for end of the month, I have several boxes of new nuts and bolts, clips, clamps etc etc to go in once it's ready to go.

    Engine will be shipped off to the builder early next year to get new rings and bearings as it has done about 15,000kms since being built.
    New head will go on with V-Cam and DBW, sticking with the same turbo although may upgrade to a billet wheel for more efficiency and aim for 850hp and leave it there.

    Gearbox is still stock so that will need to be attended to.

    I'll probably do another update in a couple of years.

  3. So haven't updated this in over a year and that's because the car has been running great the whole time :D Over 6,000kms and 4 track days to date with the alloy brace still working wonders.

    But in any case the GTR rabbit hole doesn't end and just gets deeper.

    Next (hopefully final) phase of this project is looking like this..

    1. Alpha Omega Single piece driveshaft (Acquired)
    2. Brand new head (Had this in storage for ages) CNC ported with all new gear, shimless etc
    3. HKS V-CAM Step Pro (Acquired)
    4. Upgrade to Haltech Elite 2500 for DBW compatibility
    5. 6 Throttle ITB DBW
    6. New turbo, maybe Precision 6875 or 7175/7275??? (Don't know which one to pick yet
    7. Bigger catch can/battery in boot etc
    8. Sequential Gearbox (One day, not sure which one)


    Here is some really short clips of my last session at EC in RWD just mucking around..
