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're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
