So Superlap has given me renewed vigor to finish this stupid car, I thought I might start a thread about it...

Hopefully it will give me that little bit more encouragement to work on it!

In January 2008, I flew to Perth and bought a 1994 R32 GTR from a forum member. Mostly standard, with dodgy old Tanabe suspension and some beautiful BBS wheels, it provided me with a very clean (actually TOO clean, in hindsight) platform for me to work with...

Work kicked off in earnest :)

Immaculate R32 GTR was stripped bare...

..... and all sound deadening removed (Anyone who does this with a heat gun is a chump - this took about 2 hours ;))

I lost the good photos where pieces of tar were coming off in chunks as big as pizzas, but you can see some big pieces in the bucket in this photo:

2 hours later, and we have this :P

Here's what was removed in the initial pass with dry ice!

So it took about 2 hours of dry ice to get it there...

................ and about another 10 hours to get it to this state (and some people call me anal! PFFFFFFT!!! :) )

Time to clean up under the dash ;)

Next, it was time for the roll cage...

Steve from Justjap gave me the intro to Peter Muir from Bond Roll Bars, who's race car time is precious these days since he has landed some lucrative industrial contracts.

I could not have envisaged a better job. I owe Peter a few cases of beer for this.

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
