jangles it better be the the fresh datsun, pull ur finger out.

Damo wots happening with ur drifter at the moment? how come its not running?

had an issue with the head. its always been a problem but only discovered it after a few chnages made during the rebuild. pulled the head off. fix the problem but havent put it back together yet, mainly because i wanted to put it back together and add a big turbo.

ive just started work on it again after not toutching it for 2-3 months. a lot of work ahead of me again.

I just need to sort out a bottom end it will be there

i hope to see it out there rob you have missed far to many even for my liking.

yep its a bigger one. nothing special just the usual garret rubbish but i wont be putting any big numbers in it just yet. 260+ at this stage and then e85 later on. main concern is doing evrything right once so i wont be spending every night working on it next year.

I need a 30 crank or will go with one of the stroker kits. 3.4 would be nice but then the T51 might be a little small. :)

Ive missed every powercruise so far. So Im not getting my hopes up this time as I got other things on the go. Like my new house :-)

    • 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.
    • 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.
