SOOOOOO NICE!!!! Hopefully if all goes to plan my skyline will end up like this someday. Would love to do it with twins but and maybe look more at the 9sec bracket. hmmmm may have to start looking for that higher paying job and stop with this roster crap so i can get some overtime and start working those 80hr weeks that i use to lol

But hey nice car mate and looking forward to seeing you out at the drags. hope your still going to be there for winters! I'll be there crewing for Ash Hamblin. if i see you i might come and chat to you.

Good luck with the build mate. looks good so far

I thought my T88 was big but looking at your setup jesus... This is going to be one serious car, being up in Mackay though where do you take it for test and tuning? I'd imagine you would be running deep into the 8's eventually, surely Willowbank would be the closest strip to handle the regulations placed on this beast.

Cheers Kingy...ok the updates are:

-Was gonna put photos up today but forgot my camera USB Cable (sorry).

-$2500 worth of SS Braided line and fittings rocked up this week. (Thanks VPW)

-Rear Cradle is in with new beefed up urethane bushes and solid spacers are in, along with new Kaaz 2 way Diff, Billet Driveshafts.

-All New Rear Cusco Suspension arms and Tein Super Streets are in.

-Boot fuel system nearly complete (looks shit hot).

-Engine is in for now, plumbing up dry sump and pre-lube pump set up, catch can, turbo etc.

-PWR Cross-flow Radiator and Breather tank set-up with termo fans should be here soon (Thanks to John at Unique Auto)

Everything is coming together pretty quick, looks quite good for a back yard job, long ways to go yet, not goin to make it to this year jamboree (as of brother's tafe bullshit) but dont think the car will ready anyways.

Thats all for now folks, stayed tuned, more pics coming soon, peace out and be good to your mothers!!!

Cheers

Seems people underestimate how much fittings and braided lines cost when you get a heap of them.

$50 for a fitting sounds ok.....but when you need 15/20 fittings it starts to add up

Well done on getting it this far, should be a monster

Hi Guys

Will be putting pics up later today sometime, yes i know the budget is a bit crazy, but we are doin it once and doin it probably and want to own one of the wildest R32 in Australia. Some people dont realise that Stainless steel braided lines are so expensive, Dash 12 and 16 fittings are killer, when the car is finished it will have about 4k worth of braid on it. Every single hose you can think of is goin to be braided.

Cheers

Benny

P.S if you want to check out our First Project Car R33 GTR it was in Aprils Issue 120 of HPI magazine.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
