Welcome back! The site is seeing a strong improvement in visitors lately and several old(er) members have returned. I think the poor historical content on social media means that all the info on SAU is still valuable and so users are returning. A lot of what you said resonates with me. While I wasn't mechanically minded to do what you were doing I was definitely in the thick of it with other people on here. Had 3 x R33's myself and still can't believe I sold any of them. My Stagea was awesome and my 180 was a hoot (even if I did over steer it into a no parking sign post as I left work one night ).

Sounds good. Will amend soon.

I can already imagine the insurance on this. Likely a K powered CRV if I get my way. She wants a soft roader so she can do some road trips and camping with friends. 1000HP K24 build coming soon!

I have added a warning to the messages page. Have a look and see if you think we should add anything else.

I'm looking for angel investors. You keen?

Yeah I had mentioned to Duncan that limiting messages is a little tricky but that this has happened again I'll get this done in the next few days. And yes @soviet_merlin I'll put a warning banner on the top of the messages screen, nice idea!

@Duncan is yours the VS GTS colour?

Some idiot put the same name twice on the window. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah I gotta agree. While white is my fave colour for an R32, this type of yellow is very cool.

This looks great, I'm excited for the progress!

So, after 7 years the 330i has moved on. A little bittersweet but she was never being used and I need the money for my daughters first car

Theres a tonne of info on here about ignition wiring in R34's (and R34 wiring in general). Start here; https://www.google.com/search?q=r34+ignition+wiring+diagram+site:www.sau.com.au&sca_esv=f16471168e6fc9b9&sxsrf=ACQVn08WB-mUjF700moOg_ajv23L7CddgA:1712108368224&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi2jevY9KSFAxUkyzgGHe-UDcUQrQIoBHoECCMQBQ&biw=2560&bih=1294&dpr=2

Looks sandable maybe? I cant remember if its just polished or if theres a coat of something on it.

Despite the mechanical work, you'd need to have the car updated as non turbo with the relevant govt departments. I tried to do similar with one of my motorbikes, the difference between L's approved and not L's approved was just the ECU but it was going to be a bastard to get it updated on the system if I bought the NON L's bike and the L's ECU so I could unrestrict it later.

Yeah, its not ringing any bells for me.

Wow, that looks like quite the retrofit.

Yeah this is infuriating.

Haha, yeah parts will become much more expensive than the car in no time. Decent list of mods and I haven't seen a set of ROH Drift R wheels in a long time! They look great too. Helluva project, I'm jealous.

Welcome Tim! Any pics of the car so far? Is it the RB20 still? Lots of resources on here if you get stuck.

Welcome Bruce. Just going to link to the other topic you made; I also removed your contact details. Hopefully one of the other guys can help with your issue.

Hi Bruce, I removed your contact details as this is a public forum.

Not crazy at all. Somebody tell me where my GTR is now and I'll sell my children to get it. Welcome back!

Welcome Andrew!

Sounds like it might be a *good* fact finding mission for a change! RB26's have a restrictor in the boost line. Pop this out and it'll run 12psi all day. Maybe check this is still in place?

Woops, forgot to update. Yep, was the bearing. And, still havent sold the car! Thanks all for the replies! SAU crew to the rescue once again!
