After a Painful and Pleasurable couple of hours reading the build, I'd have to say this is a work of art with craftmanship and care i haven't seen before.

Hope the best for your next stage :)
and keep me posted

Rightio. I had the pleasure of going for a little squirt yesterday in the absolutely epic car. It wasn't a long drive, it was enough to get the feel for the OS88 in it. Absolutely sold. Definitely not as "agricultural" as what I would have imagined.

The first thing that struck me was how quiet and tame it is while idling. No "grump grump, lots of overlap, big cam crap" going on, just a smooth as factory idle. The noise that was coming out of the exhaust wasn't that much louder than a factory car also. Pulls well from down low but you can tell its just screaming to be wound up. 15 psi, its not even trying.

The level of detail is second to none, anyone that has looked over this car would attest to that.

Thanks again for your time Bob, you didn't have to do that. You have just spent $16,000 or so of my money. :P

Hi Bobby, enjoying the thread, tech goes over my head but all good.

Have you had the final tune yet, love to see the results and hope you get what you were after. Looks great :wub:

I am going for response and would be pissed if my build takes 3 months, buy the parts and have someone stuff it under the bonnet and hope for the best :yes: But nothing like the effort you have put into this car :woot:

You can sell it now and start all over again,haha :action-smiley-069:

Finally made the time to read every page of this thread thanks to G20 long weekend.

Bobby I am probably not alone in saying it would be really appreciated if you could close this build thread out with an update on how everything turned out.

Thats way it is available outside of your Facebook page and easier for people to search/find.

Thanks in advance

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
