It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Holy shit, what can you possibly buy for $60k?

That's insane. I could replicate that whole car for $60k

If you could make it physically look like for $60K goodluck to ya and I guarantee it wont run 8 sec passes. The amount of time that goes into RnD into this car is ridiculous, labour alone would cost that much if I had to pay a workshop to do build this car.

I've definitely built a few 8 and 9 second cars so I know what's involved. I'm not trying to detract from your build at all....it is truly an awesome specimen....but I can't see where $60k would go on an engine

Doesn't take long when you buy top shelf parts, the limited edition HKS T62R Turbo when it was first released was 7k, but we got it for $6500. Well worth the money but, so many people doubted us if we could run a 8sec pass with the small frame turbo (everybody usually runs those big monstrosities GT42 / GT47's). So far we have done it with a full weight 1500kg car and only running 3/4 of the power available and a H Pattern Manual Gearbox. Turbo is so responsive and the engine has a massive powerband, full boost at 6500rpm and can run the engine out to 11000rpm if need be. 4500rpm to play with makes for an exciting drive, world record will be ours just a matter of getting to willow bank and more practice and playing with the settings. Only got 4 runs at Jambo first time racing at willowbank, first 2 runs were test runs, 3rd run was 8.97sec and 4th run gearbox failed weekend over. 0.02sec of Theo's world record bring on Jambo 2013. .

Ross balancer and valve springs turned up today, I'm collecting quite alot of parts at the moment, only just realised this the other day before I came back out to work lol. Getting hard to find certain things now.

Just waiting on some parts from America now, and mulling over wether or not I should fork out for some 740cc Nismo injectors or just leave the 555cc's for now

For the price of them Cal just buy a set of Xspuirt / Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors they are not that expensive anymore, I'm gonna try get the old 2200cc out of the R32 flow tested and bang them in the SR20 hopefully the are all good save me a few dollars.

I love when cars parts turn up in the mail it's like Xmas lol, I must have a lot a Xmas's then.... nearly every week :)

2200's in the SR? What power are you going to be running :/ lol

I want Nismo's again but I may settle for something else. Get some cash back for my 555's anyway

Do yourself a favour and bin the Nismo injectors. They are such an old design. The car will run so much better on the new Bosch or Siemens injectors

I always thought the nismo's had one of the best spray patterns and were pretty well regarded that's why I went with them

Maybe I will look elsewhere now :)

They are just a Denso injector. Poor latency at idle, poor spray pattern in general (not as bad as some but by today's standards pretty average)

Only thing it doesn't have is the wider rear guards, I can live with that I think, would be fun to have a 4 door and smoke everything and de-badge all the skyline badges off it and just leave the GTR badges on people will think i'm a retard until I put my foot down and leave-em in the dust :)

Time for another skyline I think been so long since I had one, will make a great edition to my Nissan family

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
