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...

New lip!!!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
