You'll all get a ride sooner or later :) .... I really don't think it's as exciting as you all make out :D .... and she'll be fairly stock, so it will be no PCOTY in terms of performance!

come on, u are asking about high flow turbo in other thread :crazy:

that GCG will pull 265rwkw! :uh-huh:

Sam - nah she is not sold yet - have had a few bites, but still waiting for the right person to come along.

Chapman - I am still throwing around various ideas at the moment - but I promised Carolyn I wouldn't be spending any money on this car. So I have already broken that promise, but I don't intend to spend much more.

I am, however, worried about the fragile nature of the nylon impeller on the R34 turbo -

hence my thoughts about a GCG rebuild/high flow.

Duc - nah not yet - I have other much more important things to spend money on at this stage. Plus, those roof-mounted things are illegal to use while the car is moving - as it supposedly distracts drivers behind you. If/when I do it, they will be 2 headrest mounted screens. I am hoping to put an all-in-one double din LCD screen/TV/DVD/MP3 player in sooner or later - like this one http://www.brashimports.com.au/CA1605.htm - just have to find the money first. I am hoping to come home from Vegas after some nice winnings and it may fund this and other mods. Fingers crossed.

hahah..

Sounds like a few lines I have thrown my other half.

Here's a few. :)

I need a new motor as this one has done quite a few kays and is 13yrs old, if we want to drive interstate we should really have a reliable new motor. :(

I need a PFC as the tune isn't the best and it will stuff the motor up if we drive interstate, it will also return better fuel economy.

I need injectors as they are maxed out and its dangerous for them to be running like that, the current ones are buggered and new ones that flow better will return better fuel economy for the drive interstate.

I need a bigger turbo as this one is running at its max all the time which is going to have it blow soon, if it blows it may damage the motor and we don't want it blowing while driving interstate.

:D

yeah, unfortunately (money-wise) we are shortly going on a month-long holiday to the USA, so money isn't exactly plentiful. But you get that.

Yes, the bill for getting it on the road is climbing and climbing - but now is the best time to play with wheels/disks, exhaust etc, while it is off the road! It will have quite a few toys, you know I can't help myself! But, it's still gonna be stock *cough* *cough*

Hey guys! I got it through the group buy that GR33dy organised, for $940 delivered. It left japan on friday, got to melbourne on monday, adelaide on monday night, and arrived here yesterday, then i picked it up at lunchtime today :D only problem is i have no car to install it in :D

    • Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.
    • The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.
    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
    • Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
    • You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple
