@r32-25t where did you get your coolant swirl pot from? It's a very nice bit of kit. -

Wait, there are people that own GT-R's that work? Not a concept i was aware of..... -

Shoota_77 replied to believer's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
Oh I never fit any parts. I just order them and put them in various piles in the shed! I've spent more money on parts on my car over the past 10 years than I bought my car for and the majority of those parts are not in contact with the car! -

They're cheap enough it might be worth just buying one and giving it a go. I paid $100 for one off Ebay. -
Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0
Shoota_77 replied to Piggaz's topic in Forced Induction Performance
It would be massively appreciated if you could please fudge the figures to make it look like spool up is 1500 rpm later and it only makes 2 HP difference? That would instantly save me spending $1600 for something that will sit on a shelf for the next 2 years.... -

Sounds amazing! I need to pull my finger out and get there before I get too old and cranky to be effed doing anything! Just need to convince the wife it won't be ALL car related stuff.... Or go without her of course! Now, get back to work, you've got a GT-R to finish off and inspire the rest of us (ie me!). -

Fancy! Japan would have been amazing! I presume you got to do some car stuff? -
GTR I just got one!
Shoota_77 replied to Old man 32 GTR's topic in Projects, Overhauls and Build-ups
Looks absolutely amazing! Love seeing GT-R's go from old to new again! They'll take 25 years longer to look old the second time around as we're all too scared to drive them much if at all! Look forward to seeing the completely finished car! -

Wiring, such a joyous part of every build! She must be getting pretty close now? It’s at this point I generally decide it’s time to add something else and completely undo everything I’ve done to get to this point….. -

I’ll be sitting in the shed in my non mobile Skyline up on the hoist, peering out the window to my $90K pool completely devoid of laughing children, dreaming of the sequential gearbox that I could have been slamming through the gears on while up the hoist going nowhere…. -

The little bastards will if they don’t spend every waking hour over summer in it! -
Hi mate, glad to hear you got somewhere with it. I’ve wondered from time to time where you got to with it all! Definitely start a build thread as anything you do could help someone else down the track. Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Yeah it was a bloody big hole! Took 2 1/2 days just to get rid of the dirt from it! I’m 6’8” so that gives you a good idea how deep the hole was. The pool is 10.5m long and 4.1m at the widest point. Can’t wait for summer to enjoy it! -

Thought I'd post up some photos of my new sequential gearbox- Yep, the kids won, no Samsonas or PPG for me...... 🙁🙁 Decided that waiting 18 months for the pool company to install my pool wasn't happening so did it all myself. Probably the most stressful thing I've done in my life. So much pressure making sure everything was perfect prior to the pool arriving. Soooo many things to organise on the day of the pool arrival (pool itself, crane to lift it over the house, backfill material delivery, dingo delivery, water truck, guy was there getting rid of the dirt for me. It was full on. All ended up pretty good in the end. Not perfect but good enough! Could have actually bought a whole additional GT-R with what all this has cost me. Bloody kids better live in the pool for the next 5 years or I'll never forgive them. Have done nothing on the car because this has consumed my life for the past month. Can't see myself getting back into it until late in the year once I've finished everything on the pool and surrounds. -

FS: HKS V-Cam Kit Step 2 (BNIB)
Shoota_77 replied to Mbest12's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
They're about $3500 Aud from Nengun so I'd say that's probably too expensive..... -
Has anyone played around with push rods, stoppers etc to get a better full travel pedal feel out of a Coppermix clutch? Wouldn't a Nismo slave actually help that issue as it would move less fluid hence requiring a longer travel to fully disengage?

Right, you stand over there and you stand over there. Now stop fighting.... Leave your emotions at the door boys. Let's keep this constructive. Don't let ego's spoil a thread.

Awesome, congrats! Definitely an awesome car and you'll love it! Wait till you see the disappointed faces of people when you leave them in your dust at the lights. So fast for a diesel! -
The ever evolving R32 GTR build
Shoota_77 replied to mr_rbman's topic in Projects, Overhauls and Build-ups
Thank Christ you clarified that. I was about to drive to Sydney just so I could jump off the Harbour Bridge in grief over how bad my welds are compared to yours! -
Could it be an exhaust manifold leak? They can tend to be quite loud and only at higher revs. check your exhaust manifold studs to see if any have snapped off or if you can see any sooty stains around the gasket. Other than that, see if you can record a video of the sound on your phone and post it here so we can hear it. Very hard to diagnose until we know what it sounds like.
