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

Some times when it is clean I say Damn that is a nice car I really want to keep it!

HI5 Shane :D

Hey shane

are you free sumtime in the next few weeks :D

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

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
