Thanks mate, I'm happy. Even on the run in tune the car was brutal, I can't wait to drive it as it is now :)

Edit

Oh, I have babied the box to the nth degree, haven't even launched on it yet. Power has just proved too much, I guess you never know :@

Sorry if I have missed it, what turbo?

I can't remember turbo specs, do you mean front side .63? I'd have to check, but it's normal front and rear housing sizes, 0.63 front, 0.82 rear? Something like that. Am performance exhaust manifold and stock intake Mani.

I bought a second hand one from an S1 ages ago but just never got around to fitting it. Apparently the diaphragm?? in the original one was folded up and wasn't dropping back where it should. So good to get rid of that confounded noise. Andrew @ ASR fitted it, it was pretty simple afaik.

Sealed the paint with some protech paint shield.

Stripped the rear, ready for a big clean and leather/vynal protection. Once the rear is done. I will do the front.

Pulled apart my gtr gauges, cleaned, re sprayed the insides and made the needles red.

Put in a safc neo.

I think I will be spraying the rims duplicolor bronze. I've been procrastinating about it for months though.

Ove the last week I've replaced my timing belt with a gates racing belt (noisy and regretting it), had my rotors machined, bought some qfm hpx pads, installed new radiator, replaced valve cover seals, replaced dump pipe gasket and installed new o2 sensor. I've pulled my front left cv shaft out as well going to take it to be rebuilt Monday and need to adjustable my coilovers.

reinstalled my rebuilt s tune suspension, omg it's great to drive, now to get the rears rebuilt

Nice work mate, was this s tune suspension specifically made for the 260 or was it the 33gtr spec?

I had a strong fuel smell in the cabin and upon checking the engine bay, a hose connected to the fuel rail had decided to sprout a pin sized fuel leak. Lucky I got to it quick, but it was a bastard of a job as there is just nowhere near enough room to fit a thick hose of that length.

Installed daleo intake pipe and front chassis brace today. Thanks #@Daleo for working on the car and getting it all sorted. Now just to line up jetwreck and DVS JEZ so we can get the adaptronic ECU and injectors etc installed and we will be all systems go. But loving the changes todays work made.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
