God I wish I was there when they signed out...

ive never had to pay for slap and tickle in my life before...there was no way i was paying for yours!

i actually thought it was pretty funny but as the room was in Luke's name he was not as amused.

Mick put new tensioner pulley stud and idler bolt on your engine...i have part numbers for the full kit including washers and nuts...its about $20 for the lot (a little bit more exy than a Stevo-salami-slashing-session)

Already done Paul :) Thanks.

(I love it when we get a chance to pay Steve out about that night) ;)

Man hurry up and finish already!!

My thoughts exactly!!

lol you Never did end up posting turbo specs :P but I didn't end up getting a 3076 anyway

Yeah, sorry about that... I havent been near a computer for 2 weeks and I forgot :P

  • 3 weeks later...

Update:

A few more major parts and incidentals attached, just waiting on some fluids to come in (special ordered) so that I can replace all oils and lubricants...

Hopefully only a matter of a couple of weeks now :D

maaan... so much blue! :D

Yep, my favourite colour, plus... It seems that most people go for red so I wanted to go against the grain. :thumbsup:

Lookin' sexy there!! Let's hope you can drive it faster on a track than you can on a dyno :)

Thanks Michele... I think. :D

Thanks Chris, its been a lot hard and fiddly work to get it looking as good as it does...

I havent completely sorted the catch can system yet, I am still thinking of how to plumb it in to the new inlet... At the moment it is sealed off from everything but the cam covers (still a work in progress).

No problem...

Yeah I made a bracket for it, its got 3 bolts holding it on to the body and 2 holding the can (I dont cut corners on my car).

Here is a quick "sketch" of the bracket... I used existing holes in the body when measuring up the braket, I dont like the idea of drilling more holes into the panels.

    • 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
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff
