Wheres the richard simmons pic for these foooooooools

Crowbar.
Sorry I cant help you.
-
X2 probally not the only lie about the car either.
Never buy a GTR unless you take a mechanic whos knows the R too!
-
get a charade !
than wait till you get your full license than get a turbo car
defiantly worth it
+1, Great car. Paid $400 for mine with rego.
I dont get spending 20K on an NA car, especially on P's when your more likely to f*ck up, can get a turbo 33 for 10......
At the end of the day, 2nd hand cars aint worth shit, better off getting a $2000 shitbox (like most of us started in) and saving the cash for house and better car down the track.
My 2c anyways
-
Where you located at the moment chief?
-
Looks good, but why?
I think you find that most of the 'serious' drifters have similer front end mods, because with other mods it allows for massive lock and clearance
Looks good mate. cant wait to see more pics! 240SX? you are in the US?

Hey mate, welcome to the forums.
What you wanna do is go down the wreckers, pull one off an R31 yourself (easy) and dont pay any more then 50/60 bucks for it, any more your gettin robbed. Cheaper buying a whole dizzy from wreckers then it is to buy a new Crank angle sensor (im guessing thats whats gone in it, cranks but wont start?)
Out of all the 2nd hand 31 Diz I have bought from wreckers over the years, only 1 had a dodgy CAS which I took back and swapped for another.
For more info on the mighty R31 cruise over to http://motamota.r31skylineclub.com/index.php

Hey mate you got gearbox, and front callipers?
Cheers, Dale

Hit up R31 skyline club forum man. In the tech section there is 2 guides with pictures on how to do the job.

As some would be aware there was a hit and run on the coast early this morning. The victim is one of my younger brothers best mates. (they are down the coast for schoolies) Anyone with any information is kindly asked to contact either me or crimestoppers.
Police are looking for a current shape Toyota Hi-Ace van (possibly white because most are)
Thanks for your time.

I reckon Engine mount. Does it also thud when you let off? (ie Let off gas before changing into 2nd)
Changing engine mounts is easy,
Jack up front, support car on stands
Jack up engine just enough to take the weight (Make sure you have a nice piece of timber to go between sump and jack)
Out with old in with new
EDIT: this if for most cars, I just noticed you are godzilla powered, I have never changed a mount on a GTR so you may wanna find some specific info regarding that mate. (knowing how fun they are to work on lol)
-
Thanks for that one bro.
-
I think most use stock b/c people would rather the gasket blow than messing up internals...
+1 Nothing wrong with a new OE gasket.
How much power you going for mate?
-
Well done bro. Got me thinkin now haha
-
lol I saw this thread and thought "hmm autosalon is still on?..........."

There are people who strap on big turbos for the sake of saying they have a big turbo, most of the time on a mismatched combo and mismatched application.
Creating peak torque early and sustaining it as long as you can is where its at. Alot of research and trial and error is involved to achieve this, most people either lose interest, settle for what they have or simply run out of money
100% agree.
Its great saying I have X amount of killa watts and all. But area under the curve is where its at.
I want my RB30/26 with 2530s back
-
whats the c*nts descripton?
-
More info needed buddy.
Does it stall as soon as you apply accellerator when standing still? does it run any good sometimes? think of all symptoms it is showing.
-
+1 For Evo. Properly set-up, they shred.
GTR + cheap just doesnt economically work, especially in a 32 which should have oil pump, sump and shit done before it goes near a track.
-
Thanks for the heads up blokes. Will spread the word.
-
What setup is the rockstar running? Whatr turbo/ how many psi's??
-
Why don't you buy a HSV GTS Coupe or go for a VS HSV GTS-R?
They both have the tuned Calloway 5.7 motors and they go farking hard.
Nothing beats the sound of a tuned V8, not even a high hp, high revving RB26.
VS GTSR is Holden powered. Not Chev
Also IMO built 26 @ 10+ K RPM sounds much better then most V8's, but not short stroke boosted ones.

I have little doubt its an N1 if the owner said so.
But as I said, oil return is a bigger issue in a rebuilt 26 then what block is used. 1000 HP can be cracked on a standard block, if it has proper oil mods.

Actually mate, it is funny.
I could afford any set of wheels I pretty much wanted bud, in fact, one of my engines could buy your whole car.....
I run 16's and 17's because thats what most race tyres are made for.
20 inch + are for homos, unless you own an R35
