Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

i can too, involves the sale of the 34 however. just couldn't part with her if i tried.

id be able to keep the 14, and be mostly if not all debt free. its very tempting.

ill probably put a couple grand straight onto the loan, and just enjoy the rest.

and by enjoy i mean, new seat, coils, good rubber, dump pipe, front pipe, cooler, ebc, retune, and track day.

im confused mitch? wernt you saying that ur motor was dead and needed a basic rebuild?
no ,i never said it was dead , turns out the battery in the car didnt have enough power to turn the motor over .

started it up yesterday , was a loud noise , disconnected power steering pump and there was a small knocking noise in cylinder 6

car idles fine and revs up fine , just could do with some minor work .

i beg to differ how does a spun bearing now become just a slight knock in #6

As you might know , my rb26 has spun a bearing.

i have replacement parts to fix it but my only problem is getting the engine out of the car and doing it myself.

seeing as im really low on cash i was wondering if anyone could lend a helping hand to help me rebuild the motor.

ill happily pay you for your services etc but my main priority is getting my car back on the road as i dont have a daily.

any help will be greatly appreciated !

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
