they are all piking it! i dont think anyone even took videos, the bums lol.

i might give the rwd turbo title a crack.. i could have easily been a lot faster than i was. esp in the final lol i stuffed up terribly

just had a new plenum to go in, spent 3-4 nights removing the stock one and doing a major service etc., made up some intercooler piping for it, then found that while it is for an rb25, i need a different air regulator (located under the stock plenum, attatched to the water rail) and also one of the threads for the aac was completely stripped so i couldn't have torqued it down on that gasket, i have to bore out the hole on the aac and then fit a larger bolt and retap the hole on the plenum to suit... too many things.

so i spent about 7-8hrs today in the rain putting everything back in just how it was, with new gaskets etc. all i have to show for about 15-20hrs work is a gtr thermostat housing and new coolant.

I know its an old thread but I have been OS for the past few weeks so I missed much of the chat. When I got back a guy from the Autospot forum had sent me this:

It's some of my runs for the day and messing around on the skid pan. Most of the day I just had fun and threw the car around. On the last slalom of the day I took it a bot more seriously. Check out the handbrake turn at about 8:40 of the clip.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
