Cool, Just been rethinking my stratergy tis all. Want to buy a house soonish so was thinking that maybe i should just get a GTS-T and get an R later on

Ahh I see GTRs do tend to be money pits

andy's car is for sale...

Indeed it is. And seriously it is in very good knick especially in the mechanical department! Except for the clutch wich we will have to fix this weekend!

Yeah thats why i asked for a pic.

Just not sure about the whole wine red thing tis all

when it is a all brown and crappy uncared for colour it is really gross, but if the paint is in good nick it is actually a really nice colour

Yeah and seeing as how it may need a rebuild after purchase, plus the whole insurance thing just cause its a R, would be better off waiting till i get the house and by then maybe get a 34......big Maybe but.

Does it have many after market bits? if any?

what clutch you putting in it?

It has turbo back exhaust, HKS intercooler, 18 inch wheels, Ummm some random sterio wich I am thinking about replacing, front and rear strut braces, and it will come with an uninstalled AVCR, It also has a GTR Grill and wing

The clutch going in is an exedy HD

Yeah but i have also seen so many of them its not funny

Down here there isnt that many? White and black are by far the most common, closely followed by silver

You ever had it compression tested?

So a bigger turbo injectors and power FC and it would be sweet

You aren't the only one that's washed her you know :D We used to take extremely good care of her, but she was stored in a boat shed for 6 months and was only used for emergencies.

When she's clean, she truly is an exceptional looking machine. The paint is so clear and vibrant still, it sometimes amazes me.

Nah never compression tested but that can be arranged, But I wouldnt expect any problems, it has been on stock boost its whole life

I would buy suspension first...then a power FC and see how you go with that! It is already alot faster than the R31 :D

That wouldnt be hard, i alost reckon i could run faster than it at the moment.

Yeah just looked at the pick that Karen ut up......Praise the raised!!!!!

I dont want it to be too stupid, if it runs mid to low 12 eventually ill be happy

compression test aye :) (ask again tomorrow hehe)

AND GET A DIFFERENT MUFFLER...the one on there now sounds soooo ghey! :)

but yes, suspension, brakes (rotors, pads, fluids & brake stopper) & FC will make it damn quick...then go get bigger turbo, fuel pump & injectors later

That wouldnt be hard, i alost reckon i could run faster than it at the moment.

a mid 12 you could do with one of Slides turbos they cost about $950 and you can sell the turbo already on the car

So power FC and Slide turbo...low 12s becomes a bit harder

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
