amazing customer service ??? he neglected to mention to me about drilling out the stock oil restrictor in the block. so the turbo wasnt getting enuff oil and f**ked the seal's. subsequently needing a $400 rebuild that i had to pay..... he even admitted he forgot to tell me about drilling the restrictor out.... yeah thats amazing customer service. he was quick to email you back THATS about it

Our last communication was on the 12/10/2012 which you inquired about a rear housing for a 2nd hand turbocharger we've built for some thing else in 2009. I've never forgotten or admitted "forgetting" on given any information inquired. Even if I did forget initially, I would never mention about a drilling a "oil restrictor in the block" after. I don't recall any communications after that date, but let me know if you want to get it repaired.

I made majority of RB customers buying the oil line with the turbocharger. Which the speed flow fitting that comes with the oil line replaces the restrictive benjo bolt that is on top of the turbocharger. There is no oil restrictor on the actual engine block or the benjo bolt goes on to the engine block.

Not sure but it will be in town soon. Looks pretty tidy

Is this car in Townsville at the moment because I am almost positive I drove past one last night as I'm up here. Saw GTR badge at front and had LED 34 tails. Was also black.

i think i saw the same car the other day in Townsville as i did that night, black R34 GTR VSPEC II with gold varrstoen's (had no volk sticker so doubt genuine).

looked mint.

All the excitement is building up, not long now till Brisbane Jamboree. We are really looking forward to this years event, apparently there some other competitors coming to specifically to stop us from getting the next world record, I won't name names but I am looking forward to some good competition. The engine has just gone though another lot of upgrades and the chassis has had more weight taken out. Not a great deal of weight but every kilo counts. Engine HP has been increased a great deal and the clutch specially modified by Doug at NPC to give us more bite in the top end to get the MPH up. Our top end MPH is where we are losing ground need more grunt and the clutch was slipping up top costing us big time. If the gearbox can handle the punishment we are estimating a very low 8 sec pass and possibly a 7sec pass on the street radial tyres. This is what we are hoping for ....fingers crossed drag racing can be brutal. Would love to share the new upgrades list but with all these other fast GTR's coming out of the wood work getting closer to our time's, it's time to keep something's to ourselves ;) .

    • R33 non turbo manual has the electronic speedo drive in the small box.
    • finally after 3 months or so the box rocked up and while i would not be installing it anytime soon due to an upcoming surgery and 3 months off work it was still an awesome time and had me pumped for the upcoming build process, and while i waited gave me time to research all the other parts i wanted or could convince myself i needed. it was time for a new and updated ecu and retire the old vipec which had served me well, so i purchased an emtron kv8 to give me some nice smooth shift cuts and better utilise some more sensors.   but then the time came to install the box, managed to grab an auto box and use the bellhousing off of it and bolt it to the samsonas, was a surprisingly easy install considering its a "universal" box some light love taps needed and we made a custom gearbox mount it all fit up really well to my surprise, part of the update was to remove the silicon joiners which kept giving me grief and install the new plazmaman pro series intercooler and shiny new bosch 72mm DBW TB with some red plazmaclamps for both the hot and cold side to eliminate the blowing off issue and clean up the bay abit, decided to go with 3' piping which was a tight fit but with some great work from the fab guy fits awesome.
    • so after a while without an update some things have changed, unfortunately the stock rb25 box said no more so after a lot of back and forward decided to just go for it and get a samsonas 6 speed for the car so that kick started the next round of "while im there i may aswell do this". while saving up some more and waiting for the box i decided to make the car look less like a nice street car and into another stupid race car so of course the interior got stripped and painted in QX1 white pearl to match the boot of course, all sound deadener was removed but of course i didnt want to do it the easy way and use dry ice i wanted to use a scraper and a hammer... didnt take long to realise this was a mistake but for some reason i continued with this method but hey we got there in the end. cleaned up all the glue and prepped the surface to be painted in the back yard.  it came out honestly better than i expected as im no painter and it was done during a nice rainy period which made it oh so much easier but certainly no professional job, then it was time to install the agi bolt in half cage and a test fit of the new to me bride seat and all in all i was pretty happy with how it all turned out and got me very excited for the samsonas to arrive and start the install.  
    • https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1394082951286916/ I have personally driven this car, lowball and buy :D. Save yourself all the time on the obvious upgrades later, which you will want to do, and end up costing much more than this. Save this post so you can refer back to it later when you tinker on it and do the same mods and spend more money.
    • After the version 1.48 update this week I was so excited about the EG Civic (Yes, I like old Civics, don't judge me) that I challenged my brother-in-law @r-is-for-fun to a time trial challenge. An EG Civic with any mods around Tsukuba. (Note that this is also this weeks Sport time trial which I hadn't seen, minus the mods). So, my EG was converted to a B18, left NA and upped to ~240hp. Full weight reduction (879kg) and I managed a 58.223. I think Al's best was around a 58.4. I'm opening the floor now, what can you do with a modified EG around Tsukuba?
