But let me just say Kat's about to have noooo money!!!

I can relate. I purchased the Tomei 2.8L kit a couple of months ago for mine plus other goodies and the cash flow is still pretty low (thats GTR's for ya). But no doubt i'll still spend more money on it in the future. It's nearly all put back together can't wait to turn the key and hear it rumble.

Of course I have pics! :P I put them on facebook but forgot to put them here. Will get to it!!

And on a happy note, my engine is now stripped and work is well underway. Going to get pics as the machining is done and will go in and see how it's going some time this week or next week. Better than Christmas I tells ya! :laugh:

By the way, my Tomei dump pipes fell through, anyone know where is a good place to get hold of a set??

Here are some piccies!!!

make sure they balance everything...not just bolt it together...as the Tomei 2.8 kits are far from perfect out of the box.

good luck with it.

Such a shame all that nice gear will be hidden inside a block!

There's a guy in the FS section selling a pair of tomei dumps for 870, i just got a set for 750 though. Its just a matter of good timing and not bothering to look overseas at the moment

I am not going to talk about how much I just paid for my Tomei dumps because I didn't want to wait for them and would be very upset if that was what held up getting my car back.

I am very unhappy with the person that I paid a large sum of money to for parts because of this. I would have happily ordered them somewhere else before our dollar became useless overseas.

Hehe no facebook group, they're just in my pics along with lotsa piccies of my baby which is all I have at the moment!!

New dumps organised, should arrive tomorrow if they didn't today. Also got the coilpack loom and turns out that Just Jap do have silicon hoses for R32s they're just not listed on the website.

Yay for Just Jap for last minute prices!

Also managed to sell my crank already cause Greg is building another engine and the dude's crank is totally rooted but he can't afford a better one. Yay $400 up.... A lot down... :bomb_ie: I say garage sale at my place if anyone needs old GTR shit!

Anyone know of anywhere good locally where I can get a genuine Nissan GTR boot badge and a Nissan badge.

My Nissan one is snapped in half and the GTR one can certainly do with refreshing!

Car is all straight and waiting to be primed now :blink:

Nissan australia will get you one, ring them up and quote your VIN :(

Or justjap, but they're all black background so non genuine

Ahh cheers for that I'll have a chat to them. I'm thinking I might leave the Nissan one off and put a new GTR badge on it. Just Jap has what they advertise as being genuine badges on their website - the R32 ones come in different colours on there too.

Thinking I'll go a 33 or 34 one to match the one on the grille. Leaving the GT badges off the side now too. ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
