So like, I'm sick of fixing this thing... Broken cam shaft, cam shaft barings need replacing, a million other things. So Ive diceded to take it to hardcore (cause of some of the hot cars Ive seen drive outa there) and get it fixed, and modified.

I have a limit of 10 big ones (not 10 dolars) and I was going to get them to do,

Brakes,

fix car,

turbo,

clutch (I spun it)

and gear box needs 2nd to be rebuilt.

Do you think 10g's will cover that, and possibly some? I dont wanna walk in there and sound like a moron asking for this shit and being told its gonna cost my first born, and possible my left nut.

err - If you're going to turbo, I think it'd probably be cheaper to engine swap to an rb20det...

and if you are going to do that, take the rb25 route... hell yeah.

and to indluge my little fantasy... drop in a Nissan V8. just save enough for the g/b and brakes... if you beef up to GO, beef up the STOP...

plus r32 gtr 5 stud brake conversion and then ur set (4 pot front 2 pot rear, much bigger discs than the silvia - much bigger)

s13 can take the r32 gtr brakes - then with some guard rolling and some offset spacers u can take just about any rim that will fit a skyline

yep, definately bin your old NA 20 and go for a 25DET. try and get 25DET gearbox too but if you cant get your 20 box rebuilt. you should be able to do everything you need within your $10K budget.

So like, apparently Hardcore is no longer. I went to a place called TTR and they wanted 10g's to do;

Half cut, (4,000)

brakes R32 GTS, plus diff (2,500)

intercooler and piping (1,000)

and a 3inch exhaust.

I dont think its worth it. Does anyone know a good place to take my baby to, to get this stuff done? somewhere you've been to before and loved the results?

Yerp you heard correctly.. Hardcore was officially non exhistant as of 15th of september i think. That company went to the shit when peter and bruce sold it anyway. Im not to sure about where you can pick up an engine (check on here?) but I think peter who used to be part owners of hardcore may do the work for you. And he will most probly be able to sus out an engine for you. He has his own business now called pro torque performance its still in slacks creek. Give him a ring on 0438 876 649 and just tell him your situation.

I dont think its worth it.

i seem to agree as would anyone else on here...

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
