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

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
