all the fab work and aero looks great. can see many many hours in there.

Cant wait to re-wire my car... it will be a good feeling when yours is done.

Thanks mate, the man hours in fab work add up real quick when it comes to one off custom parts... But the end result is worth the effort and cost!

The wiring was a disaster! Looking forward to having it all neat and tidy, the idea is to spend the money on it now and hopefully keep any electrical gremlins away for the future!

wow awesome build, subscribed

Thanks mate...

Some updates were posted half hour ago on Vacy Smash Repairs FB page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vacy-Smash-Repairs/303873696482857

These pics show the interior painted. head over to their page and give it a like for more updates.

Nice updates, looking forward to testing and your impressions :)

Me too mate! I am sure testing will have some hiccups as so much is new, but it is all part of the fun!

agreed... awesome vision and build. Great to see such good quality

well done keep pushing hard and just take a photo of the smile on your face once you've had the first drive and everything goes to plan !

Just the original white...

Call me Mr Original... lol

I plan on keeping the whole car looking plain as a GTT/R should look.

I will be keeping stickers/logos to a minimum, however the companies that have supported me so far will also have a say in this.

Yes I have a say in it [emoji322]

These last few pages..... Wow!

The changes have taken me quite a while, i was just a bit busy and didnt get around to doing updates for a long time :) I underestimated the amount of work it would take by quite a bit lol

Lol no you dont, Shh :P

Need to sort your right foot out first hahaha

Its the left foot i have issues with, sprained ankle to be precise lol

Throttle control is not an issue, sticky tyres masked this problem!

Looks spiffy in white. You'll need to wear sunglasses :)

Any half decent build takes time and I don't reckon many average-Joes can set realistic time frames and hit the initial completion target. This thing should be worth the wait though.

Yeah even in the booth it was very bright! I am assuming once the dash and seat etc are back in it should cover some of the brightness but it sure looks better then it did a few weeks ago!

The team at Vacy Smash Repairs are doing an amazing job, cant thank them enough for everything so far!

Always ssh over here

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
