The cheapest one I've seen was 13K

That's what has me reconsidering as well as the issue of availability of standard replacement and aftermarket parts

I remember when I used to hunt for parts for my 205 gti, everything seemed like it was coated in gold. had a quote for $900 for a new set of radiator hoses. for rubber fucking hose

hence I will probably end up buying one of the old mustang shaped celicas and have fun with that.

The only thing I don't like about them though, is the engine bay is not as generous as in the 240z

Sink another 20k into the GTR. The depressing thing is 20k doesnt go very far lol.

I'd imagine it would make it a nice streetable GTR, I have no idea about the cost of parts on those though.

im actually the same as Martin, I would like another 20k to sink into mine for brakes, new suspension, track rubber, carbon bits and maybe some bigger turbos :mrt:

Word for word excactly what I would do. :D

Great minds think alike, and scrap bigger turbos, If i was going to upgrade I would go for a 35r, tried and proven....by you!

A great story for sure.

They will all get pots of money too for selling their story to the media

there isnt enough money in the world to entice me to go through that soit.

I hope they make huge bundles from it.

If you told me in advance I was going to be stuck in a cave for ~65 days and make a few million dollars I would do it in a snap.

If you told me there was going to be 32 mexicans in the cave with me I'd probably make you double it :)

But yeah, being stuck down there and not knowing when/if you will ever get out would sure suck. Definitely hope they all make good coin.

In other news, Duke Nukem Forever might actually be released?

F*CK YEAH XF! Duke FTW!

Gearbox are the perfect company to do it too, it might actually happen this time :ninja:

and wasn't there one fellow who had his wife, mistress and possibly a third girl waiting for him to be brought out.

The wife wasn't there when he surfaced, the mistress was. :ninja:

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
