hrm...okay dave...

goodluck finding a *performance* car that has not had its arsed flogged...thats what they were built for mate. if you wanted to buy a car that hasnt had its ass flogged, you should start looking at bmw 318's or magna's or something?!?!?

and btw. knowing that this car IS capable of 300kw is bloody great! I know that the engine is running as it should be!

Just to update, the car is still for sale.

It's worth noting that the car made 230kW or less for most of the time that I had it. It only did about 3000km or so with the big turbo set-up. 300kW was actually a conservative tune, if we had really pushed it there was more power to be had. The engine is in excellent condition, as any test will show.

As for the camber question, I believe it was around 1.25 degrees negative.

You are better off with 18x9 at both ends, my set are 8-inch at the front and not the right offset for a GT-R anyway.

Ben,

Any specific reason y gtrs run equal width wheels front and rear?

Somone on the forum mentioned it was due to the need for the wheel diameters of the front and rear wheels to be equal for the attessa system to function properly. (Front and Rear wheels need to be travelling at same speed)

But i would imagine...with careful calculation of tire profiles, equal diameters would still be achievable, while allowing for a wider rear tire (since a gtr is rwd most of the time?)

Yes, you do need equal rolling diameters. I have seen GT-Rs with different-size wheels front to rear, but since the guards are designed to suit same-size at both ends, why not fit them? Unless you make the rear guards much larger, you will be compromising the front, rather than improving the rear, if you see what I mean

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
