colin need your epic detailing skills to buff it out. :D

Yachts normally go for more than that, probably needs some work for it to be sea worthy....

as for 31 coilovers, JIC did actually make coilovers for 31's. Also plenty of Datsun shops make coilovers from R31 struts.......

but yer, i'd still love a 1970 C10 GTR skyline.

If it was sold I wonder how much was the selling price...

for that price... You can get a VERY nice M-Spec/V-Spec2 Nur... or maybe top up a lil and get a Z-tune or a 35gtr...

as for 31 coilovers, JIC did actually make coilovers for 31's. Also plenty of Datsun shops make coilovers from R31 struts.......

Technically, the stock suspension ARE coilovers :) just not height adjustable. As you well know, those JIC ones are 20 years old and shit.

Making height adjustable coilovers from the standard strut, yeah it works, but I consider that 'custom'. Also, you still need decent inserts then to run in them, and you lose wheel clearance.

I know where there is a shell of a white FD sitting, its been there for 2 years now, sitting right next to the road nothing stopping it goin missing either

rotarys are easy, boost in apex out, rebuild and repeat. haha

anyone got a clue how to TIG weld here?

get me a tig and ill teach myself, i know the basic principles.

ps: marto that vid is f**king hilariousness TRACTOOOOR !!!

and u learn something new everyday: cows go moo when the poo LAWL

Yea I finished reading the whole thing but basically the main thing I've learnt is 1.3l twin rotary is actually 3.9l in displacement. And you cant really compare piston and rotary.

yer rotarys arent as bad as they are made out to be, boost them hard and not build them right and they will give you nothing but trouble, a properly built one with moderate levels of boost last ok. Like 1000Hp from a 1.3 litre engine is crazy and no doubt will give you issues, same as trying to pump that level of power from a RB engine.

Yer dave im teaching myself how to MIG weld, funny thing is my missus can weld better than me :) i will get a TIG once i learn the mig.

martin, get the falcoon and a trailer and i will show you where it is :P

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
