replace the wheels with some decent non ugly ones and it'd look good....

Yeah, was umm and ahhing about getting work meister for it.

Currently there's a leak from somewhere and it need retune badly.

Body would need a respray but couple of friends suggested cut n polish but I don't think it'll work.

While you're here, may I ask how long did you have yours?

And have you done anything exciting to it?

I bought my GTR back in August 2005.

Changed new front disks and brake pads.

Rebuilt Rear Diff.

Rebuilt Turbos to steel internals.

New OEM Clutch put in cuz the HKS Twin Plate just about had it.

Aftermarket Front Pipes and a Highflow Cat put in... Also have a Cat Back oval shape muffler going on.

New OEM Slave Cylinder.

Did more rebuilding rather then modifying.

I can dump money in it for the "Go Fast Mods" but I know 1 thing leads to another as this car cost already, as it is.

It is lightly modded and good enough for my weekend drives :)

I say you should enjoy what you got there (your R32 GTR) as you know, the power bug has hit you and you will never be satisfied...

First it is 200+ kWs, then you want 300+ kWs and you will be chasing 400+ kWs... It never ends... Leaving a bigger hole in your wallet.

Lower your standard of your expectation for your car and you will enjoy it better.

Remember, you do have decent mods on it... Utilise it and enjoy it...

That's what I think anyway :D

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
