25 / 1j wouldnt be powerful enough. however a GT28RS strapped onto the TD42 motor is a good option for lotsa torque. Guy from the patrol forums just bought a manual GQ shorty from VIC, with engineered VS 5.0 injected engine in it :blush:

and if ya lifting, its gotta be at least 2+2 (2" suspension lift, and 2" lifting blocks under the body) - that gets the back step up to

I remember seeing a short wheelbase patrol with a RB26 and a big single hanging off the side in a magazine last year. This thing was crazy!

Thats was a pretty quick sale Pete!! Its a nice car..Can I ask where she has gone?? Still in SA or interstate?

It's a sad moment, I did it with mine not that long ago :( But still have the race car! :iluvff:

Hey Jess :wave: ........yeah stayed in Adelaide and went to a nice kid that works at the RAAF

can you get ppl's details from there plate number?
if your a cop or work for the transport department, then yes. lol

Depending on the job I'm on, I can do rego checks either via workcover or thru crown solicitors.....but no randoms.

Heck, I can drag out your private medical records with a section 110 if necessary :P

possibly, depends on the future path of the R.

moreso want to get back into having fun goin slow... = 4wd and mad scrub. wanna start heading up north again.. good cheap fun.

want a less lairy daily driver aswell (althought depends on the lift and tires oh and what turbo, turbo diesel ftw)... the vl will cost a fair bit to get up to spec again

now yoo speaky ma language :ninja:

hi all, im a heavy diesel mechanic by trade and was thinking about doing some weekend work from home such as cam belts, fitment of trans coolers, fitting of coilovers and various stuff like that. my questions are what do you all think is fair to charge for the above and does anyone need any of the above done?

i spend my days working on 27ltr twin turbo V12s and obviosly change my own cam belts and the like. any thoughts???

what would you charge me to replace rear springs & shocks and front coilovers in a 200series Landcruiser (I'll supply the parts)..........if it's too much, I may contemplate doing it myself but I don't feel like crawling under 3 tonne that's suspended in mid air, lol

you made a blatant threat in a public forum bud.....keep it to PM if you know the dude (or send me around to his place) :ninja:

yeh im sorry, i dont know who it is, its just stuff like that gets my blood boiling !

but ill keep your service offer in mind :P

List of jobs for the day:

Erect first frame of house extension, ensure frame is level, and pour foundations

Engine service and suspension tuning to friend's VFR400

Fit turbo to Stagea and re-assemble

Drop in on Damo, delivering tools and check out his RB

... and shower and eat at some stagea :P

    • 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
