Hey everyone. Many of you already know Im an avid GT-R fan, well, now I have one. Actually I've had one since March but it's only been running for a couple of weeks now. We will be building it into clean, comfortable and fairly legal street car with supercar performance on a budget. SOme of you might have seen it all before, some might learn something. The first feature will be in Motive DVD #14, but in the mean time, I've put a back story feature on our website here:

Awesome, Similar aim to my V-spec II, although the purchase price of an v-spec kinda pushes the budget up.. Knew exactly how you felt reading through the story. From wanting an R32 to the sinking feeling when it goes "pop".. (ceramic turbos in my case) After almost 3 years of ownership (and about 9 months off the road) I can assure you it is worth it. The buzz of driving mine never goes away!!

You've always looked forward to challenges Andrew; and this is no exception!

Great buying of two jigsaw puzzle pieces that fit together!

And to have the knowhow of Mercury > CRD will make your build smooth sailing whilst keeping hiccups minimal!

Our family has recently bought a CRD worked car with no complaints!

Looking forward to #14! :)

Really cool write up , this made me wana get out in my shed and proceed fixing up my 33 gts I just bought 6 weeks ago , since then we've stripped every single piece of interior out , re painted it all with vinyl paint , re wired it etc etc....lot of hours...for my first car at 17 not many kids wana be doing that but it will feel good when it's sitting right with some nice wheels and paint job , didn't mean to thread jack , you've done well! I'll be definitely following your build

How big is your shed? I personally would love to have a large workspace but my garage is not very roomy, it's big for a garage but small as a work area in the way that I imagine it.

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
