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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!

happybirthday.jpg

Yeah I think my turbo is on its way out, Ive noticed more and more blue/white smoke after heavy acceleration - never used to do it :mellow: Ive been told its the seals....

yeah, be up for a newie soon me thinks. send a pm to hypergear on ns. standard rebuilds through them are half the price of mtq and ats here. my highflow is costing less than mtq were asking for a standard rebuild.

:edit: my turbo was in perfect nick too. f**kin compressor cover blew off and munched the blades. :(

^ Just seen this forsale ad, anything of use to you Dave? Alot of go fast bit goodies in there for a S14

some tasty shit right there.

but ive already got cusco coilovers.

got a hybrid ebc-d sitting downstairs.

turbo timers are patently unnecessary.

my coils are fine, lol.

i prefer remaps over powerfc's. factory knock control = win.

osg clutch would probably destroy the box on the first clutch kick... would be nice though.

cock... already got brakes... pmu would look awesome on my shopping list. :mellow:

got a velo gp90 drivers... passenger can sit on the floor for all i care.

much want electric ganadors... but i need injectors more.

already got a cusco front brace... its not carbon though. :(

got a set of navan skirts for less than that a while, and mine werent cracked.

bought that same spoiler a couple weeks after i got the car for $150.

roof wing will look whack with the above spoiler.

a pillar pod... mounted a gauge there... decided it looked naff.

750's may be slight overkill for that im aiming for...

      Rusty roof repair

      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 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.
