Aint u putting new cooler pipes on when u finially put your GTR FMIC on?

u think i wasnt!!! :)

well actually i did... i forgot to tighten up the hose clamp on the pipe from the plenum and was dropping boost pressure :P funny that.

but yeah the engine seems to be running fine now so i dont think ive done any damage :D

munkeh - yeah it is.... reckon the paint would stick?? its heat resistant paint anyway.... maybe i leave it black and paint the screw bits yellow :P

EDIT***

denham - not to sure if im going to bother puting the cooler on now if im going to be getting a GTR next year... might just save my money.

hmmmm hey andrew, maybe its the paint in my engine bay that makes my (mostly stock) Ti go faster than your GTS :(:) :shake:

When the rice is hidden, it's not so bad. ;)

Nice job inark, looks good!

Photos are never representative of true colours, so I can't wait to see it in the metal!

:D

well.... I went and did some more painting today :D

Painted the cruise control, and brackets, and the air horn compressor and some bits and pieces, dave made a heat shield for the pod, and another one for the extractors, and i painted the pod one white, and the one for the extractors is polished..... mmmmmmmm......... shiny bits......

:)

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
