im sure your wealth of knowledge and performance part collection that you wont have any trouble. :D

Mick, that is awesome. So pumped to see somebody put the effort into such a tidy track GTSt. Then you have Bens cool Targa GTSt... i have to lift my game to make sure my little slug keeps pace with the other GTSts in the build

Yeh, lol thats the problem. I am good at buyign shit and talking shit. But none of it ever makes its way onto my car or makes the car quicker :)

That said, SO pumped, hoping to be able to post up the old girl with her new paint, kit, turbo setup, exhaust and intercooler, brake setup, suspension, wheels, interior etc. Have had to park it since October 2007 to afford all this crap but pretty excited. I am betting the car will be slower then before... :D LOL usually the case when i fark with something that was not broken :)

I need to come up with a cool sticker for the bootlid that says GTSt Evo II as just about every performance part i have put on the car during the first 7 years of ownership has been replaced the past 12 months so constitutes the second evolution for the car :)

Cheers for the comments guys, and yeah now the fun of putting it back together. I plan to get some double bed blankets from vinnies and lay it over the interior to make it a little less painful when i drop a screwdriver or something :)

Plan to do as many track days as i can this year and then put the 30 in at the end of the year

Will post pics again once the brides, new nardi, pfc and nismo diff go in. Injectors are mostly done, put new plugs on etc just got to wire in the gtr resistor pack.

Roy, how long untill your car is ready, even just some progress pics :) and as far as commitment to the gtst goes im just trying to keep up with you!

So Ben / Mick...how mcuh weight does it really save and once the carpet is back in how much louder is it?

Roy, as you see I didn't start with a stripped shell so I didn't get the bitumen off the firewall etc, but I measured just under 9kg, about the same as swapping a std bonnet for a GTR bonnet, so worthwhile in my opinion. I don't run carpet, so for me it was mainly to clean it up for aesthetics with the bonus of a little weight. I figure if I'm chasing 2 and 3 kilo savings by using lighter wings etc, then 9kg for a few hours work is well worth it :P

How much noiser? No idea yet, haven't driven it, but since I'm always wearing a helmet, it won't worry me.

Roy, from memory it was about 13kg in total weight removed when i did mine. I dont have the carpet back in mine, with a cheap brand of tyers on the road its not too bad. Its when you hit a rock or in my case have to travel down 3k of dirt road that its loud.

If anyone hasn't come accross my build thread yet for my 32 heres the most recent shots. Just building it to mainly run hill climbs and tarmac sprints. N1 bottom end, gtr-s turbos, tomei head and dry sumped. Can't wait to get it finished.

Troy, might not be a good idea if you want to use the 32 as a daily when you come back. From all reports the removal of the deadening makle the car f'n loud! Especially with semi's on

ear plugs will fix that :)

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
