question, do any of these parts make it onto the car at the moment or are you acquiring everything before tearing in? Lots of box shots but don't see anything fitted? Surely that'd drive you crazy with anticipation...

Don't be complaining about box shots now!

Hoarding things like Smaug is half the fun of a rebuild.

it is indeed. bought more stuff today for it. front and rear window seals organised. ($1.1k!)

And it's home for a couple of weeks.

Need to build a few jigs for it so I can leave the front/rear suspension out and still have it mobile.

  • 2 weeks later...

sussed out a HCR32 rear cradle to make the jigs off. the idea is to totally drop front and rear suspension out of it and still have it mobile. over the last two years I needed to reassemble it t move the thing.

this will sort that problem.

Seems all your pics have disappeared.

Dropped in to see what has happened over the last 3 months. Much progress ?

Still hot all the pics on mine ??

Facebook must have reloaded them. I have all of them off line anyway.

I have it at my shop now and fiddle with it when I get time. Not a lot done over the last 6 months. Been buying bits though.

Ah, the man with answers. Looking at your FB pics i see a GTR tank.

Are the GTST tanks all the same steel tanks or do the awd cassis have their own type of tank? I ask as i want to put the plastic GTR tank into my rwd GTSt and some say they dont bolt in? Can you clarify what needs to be done?

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
