Aaron i'm curious about the output at the wheels aswell, meant to be 270kw and 500nm of torque standard, to put it in perspective a Ferrari 360 modena f1 is meant to be 297kw and 394nm of torque. (i'm hanging out for sau dyno day)

Still no match for the R35 gtr with its electronics. But a GTR doesn't sound like this.

Once I figure out if they use ceramic turbos or not, then I can figure out how to raise the boost level lol ( i wonder if there is a ecu tune for it?), throw in a better breathing exhaust, see if i can squeeze a bigger intercooler into it lol.

And Nick, the convo might go like that, only change is i bought the car on the monday and not the weekend lol

hahah chris, why not.

An your right dave, that type of money would make my r33 faster than anything... But it wouldn't be the same, and it definately wouldn't be very street friendly, trust me i already thought of that, and i thought of R34 gtr aswell, but nothing really sounds like this, nor is it this easy to drive fast, although r35 gtr is faster and easier to drive, but its alittle over double the price, no hassel with the cops, insurance, (parts may be alittle pricey and harder to get).

Look at the youtube link and if you have subs on your pc you can hear it rumble, then you get the turbo's and bovs doing there thing.... still my crappy phone microphone cannot capture the sound of it.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
