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...

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
