So I received a preview of the coil valley cover badge....

The engraving will begin shortly to also include a custom badge for where it says "Twin Turbo" however... won't disclose what it says as it is a shit stir to previous work done on the car.

MNP 33GTR for the win!

Cheers bud,

I may be ordering my Custom Grind cams this week, receiving some parts for the VCT and a couple other bits.

Awesome, im very interested to hear how this vct goes

It's getting a tune without VCT first, in most likely in a couple months or after when I go to the U.S. I will do the VCT considering it would only take a couple days to do if that.

The main part would be in the tuning I assume.

I know the engine is in, box is in, just needs the radiator, valve springs(getting done when its in the car) and then once I have the car back and I am going to get a Catch can set up made.

Where did you go to get this made if you don't mind me asking? Mate wants a Nismo item but there doesn't seem to be any so this could be an idea.

I got it made by Aaron Dryden, You can also order design's through Dryden Motorsports.

Aaron does drafting for Dryden Motorsports now, he had to do mine because it was more involved design wise then they usually are.

Just good Dryden Motorsports and they'll come up.

On another note.

So, not much to do with the GTR has come about yet... I think they are doing run in now hahaha so on my weekend I have set a couple goals.

Number 1 goal was to repair the bike I crashed a couple months back(just need to connect lines now)

Number 2 goal was to clean my carport(In progress, I'm on break :P )

Number 3 goal was to get my 1972 Toyota Corona running and washed... Goal completed.

The main reason I wanted to get this car out and washed.

The car belonged to my Late Pop, He was given it by my Great Aunt when they had to go into a nursing home.

When I killed the ECU in the car my Pop told me I can have the car if I looked after it, about a week later he passed.

The car holds ALOT of sentimental value to me obviously.

I have also just bought his motorbike off my Grandmother, she was going to sell it after I repaired it however I decided I would like to own it so I bought it.

thats good, i like that!! things with sedimental value, are worth alot more than what money can buy....

Hey did you end up finding out what goodies the engine had? I remember you mentioning in your for sale thread (at the time) that you thought it had stage 2 cams.

Well it was a standard engine not the stroker as it was in the import papers.

It DOES have cams unlike what I was told by a "big" shop... unknown duration tho, It's certainly equal to poncam's tho.

The piston had "gas" porting tho so that was different.

i feel tease......ed. where's the sound clip !!!

It's only just had it's first start up today... however I bought a GoPro yesterday... by... "accident" and yes it will get a sound clip soon ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
    • That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
