C'mon mate, we know they don't make em like they used to. It's missing a Holley double pumper and a high rise manifold.

Beryl would not approve.

lol current thought project of mine is a 4 barrel on my 928 porsche.. just need to think of how id do the intake manifold to sit the carb.

78 model porka, may aswell get 70s tech lol

Do you have any notes or pics of it laying around? I am in need of inspiration.

Mine is the mechanical K-jetronic setup.. I actually got it running nicely with some tweeking but for gods sake the car feels slow compared to anything turbo.

Do slide around your loungeroom on your socks just wearing sunglasses, a shirt and some jocks?

cheers

and sing to cheesy 80s tunes, yes.

actually i just bought my own home and got the keys on monday, so i will definitely be doing the above just because i can.

Its a 300 page old thread with tons of info and the same questions being asked over and over, usually with guys like me replying and not being a total prick telling people to read the thread from start to finish.

I think we are allowed a little banter.

LOL yeah you know, moving house this week. bought my own place.

fun times, sir SR is on the back burner for now.

what about you? anything to add to the kando land chat thread?

turbo is making a funny whistle...haven't diagnosed it any further than it is coming form the area where the turbo is...put 40psi (from a compressor not boost :P) through the system and no hoses popped...but there is a little annoying whistle there on boost...think it might be the comp housing or something ...laziness and a fear of the unknown is stopping me from removing it for inspection....

How many K's have you done with that thing now?

I pulled mine down a few weeks ago and had the core apart, all looked good and the imperfections on the turbine wheel hadn't grown or changed..

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
