The problem with ants car is gearbox.

To that last statement i say it comes down to drive skill, not cheaque book racing. ie i wonder how 1 car got tuned b4 another :Oops:

hopefully no more ****ups danny. i Bet u are giving it to shane even more now that things are almost done, and the rx4 is further away

I think Anth and myself are both aiming a little higher than 600rwhp,we both have standard cranks with lots of work been done to them and yes this is the weak point in both motors as all other parts have beem replaced.we do not see this as a major problem as there are many cars over east with high hp built on standard cranks,without failure,we may be wrong but only time will tell.As for check book racing all forms of racing cost lots of money,time ,effort and sacrifice by all involved,now lets thrash them and have some fun.

Well the decision has been made something is not right in the motor and we are going to pull it down and check whats happening.Since picking the motor up from the last so called performance workshop the motor only had 90psi combustion presure and the assumption was made that this would increase once the motor was started but this was not to be the case.Will keep you all posted but it look's like were starting from scratch again,here's hoping it will only take a few weeks to rebuild and will be back on the track soon.

Jesus Christ Danny. I feel so bad for you having been told alot about what the GTR has gone through to get to this stage and to now hear about this is just pain.

I hope you take to some people because heads need to roll. Seeing as how your nearly as big as me im sure this will be an easy job.

In all seriousness i think legal action would be a good way to go here. Youve been screwed around too much for this to be just a trivial matter anymore.

I really hope to see you back in action soon and the best of luck with everything with this rebuild.

Cheers and good luck with the head kickng

Tom

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
