Sounds like you wish you guys had brought a GTR now?

:dry: Not after seeing everyone we know that has one, never EVER be able to drive it. I was merely pointing out the stupidity in your thoughts on a 'GTR never getting sideways' :P

Just out of interest how much did.....have you spent on the rebuid?

The original goal was 250rwkw for under 10K. That was successful. Next instalment was new engine, and upwards of 270/280rwkw for under 15K. And it looks as thought it's gonna happen :D

*sigh* Friday afternoon... what to do, what to do...

hey daz, did u get your car fixed up?

yeah its back on the road now, did all the crossmember and stuff my self, just had to pay $100 to get the mechanic across the raod from work to come put it back together bcoz i was almost done at 4pm on a sunday and the engine mount was broken, so i coudlnt get one till themonday and i had to get it outta work on the monday so i got him to do it while i was actually working. but its all good now, just sorting out a few suspension things atm, i need new shocks, they are rooted, but they been like that for a while.

anyway i found a party at a mates house im going to, havent seen em in like 1 year so im gonna catch up, theyre old school buds. :)

dont u mean new engine for the 32? :)

well the adapter plate now only lines up with 4 out of ~10 holes in the sump. so now i'm gonna make my own adapter plate up and that way i know it'll be right! so it's gonna be a busy weekend, back and forth into work so i can get a CAD file made up to give to a laser cutting place on monday.

do you know of any gtr's that have their sump off or anyone that has a gtr sump sitting around? i want to see if the plate fits on another sump

Yes i suppose it was a pretty stupid statement.

And that isnt really what i want to hear about people not being able to drive them! Why is that?

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
