thanks for the comments, yea i no i could have had a r34 gtr and a half, but once i start on something i like it done properly next step is to run the engine in and i am hoping to get in the 9 sec bracket if it hooks up. and one word of advice dont try and do a six port direct injection it works out way to expensive for what its worth , i had to put the nossles under the plenium i did want them on top but the fuel rail is in the way....well i did drive it back from the workshop and its f**kn loud it will be good to go on a cruise so if anyones keen pm me we can work out a date to meet up....

Fair enough. As long as you love it, that's all that matters.

I'm envious of someone who loves their car that much. I can't settle on which car to have - I want em all!

:P

well it has been 7 months but i have finally finished my engine bay and drive gear. now she has a 6 speed trust dog box, 4'' dump pipe straight through,single piece tail shaft, new suspension as you can see i ts a little low at the moment , nitros set up is complete, all thats left is a paint job....

Fark me, its been a while since we met up to pick up those seats off ya. And wow... car looks hot as. Is this the same one that was in your driveway when we met up?

Now tell all the nice people how much a setup like this costs, and about the R34 GT-R you could have had for the same money if not cheaper.

Sorry buddy, but I've crunched the numbers, and nice as it is, unless you're selling drugs, it ain't worth it.

LOL...say the same thing about a guys girlfriend and you would get a fat lip :P

My thinking, The Golden rule...."Its his gold, so he makes the rules"

Pretty schmick i say, lets see a manual GTST pull a 9, all the best with it

hey mate awesome looking motor/bay, just a couple of questions.

are the radiator top brackets chromed? and is the power steering pump chromed or polished ally (though im 99% sure they are only steel)? and rocker covers polished or chromed?

so how much is your braided line and fittings bill i wonder :P mines nearly 1200 bucks and mines no where as much line as yours.

cheers mate and all the best with it :D good to see some rb25s highly modified for a change ;)

so does all that shiny shit in the bay make it go faster?

give the the guy some credit, and its nice to see decent engine bays in skylines as 99% of em look like plain jane shit, or a smarties packet of painted bits.

shiny bits rule, and are well worth it unless u want it to look like a shitta :lol:

i'll give him credit for having too much money to spend on a car! :D

that, sir, is the main object of certain people's builds. mine, in particular.

id much rather the show/profesional look that the backyard painted bits style with rubber hoses and shitty clamps everywhere. i goto local car shows and peoples cars who are entered have some of the most disgraceful engine bays ive ever seen, and they shouldnt even be allowed to open em unless they are clean/neat. :P

each to their own ;)

yea i stripped the power steer pump right down and got every bit cromed along with the altinater cam covers pulleys harmonic balancer engine mounts and brackets , waterpump outlet and with all the bolts i got them done in gold crome just to set it off . with the crome brading it was well ova 3k with the fittings every line is braded right down to the boost line and line to the blow of valve. i even did my fuel lines also the brake lines are braid. it was very time consuming but i reckon it looks neater in the end and beats painting shit that flakes off in a week. :P

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
