I have had it for a week to do some repairs and stuff to the paint and tuning the car to run a bit better.

micheal is in the army so he wont get to see his car till easter sometime so i decided to post up some pics.

The car just got picked up today and i miss it already, I tell ya driving a RB25det is a little better than just a RB20det. Oh well enjoy

So are you a panel beater/painter? or just do that as a bit of a hobby sorta thing.

I would just say a hobby, my dad is a painter. and i spose watching him all the time made me like doing it as an on the side thing..

the left hand side rear was hit by a post lol and made a fair bit of damage, so i fixed that for him and did the dash as well.. It doesnt seem to look as good in the pics, but all the parts inside the car have around 7 layers of 2pac clear over it.

I only did it that many times cause that sort of stuff cops a bit of a belting and i have see cars with stuff painted and half of it chiping off.. cant have that now..

pity your in bundy lol

Im gonna start to sand back mine in the next month or so and re-paint it. Paint job is shocking on it so yeh, and fix a few of the dings up. So don't be surprised if you get a few PM's from me lol

:lol: thats ok mate.. PM away, ill help ya any way i can. The only problem i had with the dash was the person who painted it b4... lol some bronze crap colour, It all had to come off. And because anything inside the car has more than likely soaked up shit loads of armoral and many other paint hating chemicals!

use alot of prepsole b4 sanding and aftersanding.

Or you will have fish eyes and paint frying up b4 your eyes,lol

And use some type of plastic primer as well to help the paint stick.

But yeah mate, any problems give me a yell.

Another modified plenium i see there.....

I do wonder if these are any good???

I mean Greddy would have spent millions on R&D of their pleniums... But how much better do u reckon they are???

I mean i just want to cut down on intercooler piping and the crossover pipe cops heaps of heat before i finally get to the plenium....

Ummmm wonder???

I think predator did this conversion also... I may just ask him... LOL

Yeah it was picked up from the coast about a year ago! last easter i think...

Im sure he said that it did have a lot more mods done to it, but when he got it alot of it was put back to stock. But yeah, im not too sure on the full story.

LOL yeah i pulled the TT apart and i painted it to blend into the whole Orange thing..

yeah they are like sandpaper to start with, but to get the best finish i gave it a hard sand to remove the old paint and also to remove the pumpy surface.. Then used some sprey putty to get it dead smooth.

Its a damm nice ride, pleasure to work on :)

I have also heard the g'reedy ones losing power... Cars are funny things.

Anyway, looks heaps nice, other than yeah wheels. I dont like chrome, but I think they would suit this. That or something darker.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
