jangles- i dont think it would make huge difference tbh! if i notice a changle will opt for a cage and bracing etc

thanks edge!

gonna steal a camera from work for a night so i can take some pics n upload em at work :)

got some other gear for it too today!

cusco brake master cylinder

hicas lock bar

nismo smoked indicators

fkn thing died in the garage today and wouldnt jump had to go down to burwood 24hr kmart n get a battery so i can drive it to work tomoz n get my roady done! $50 for a 14 day driving permit! wonder how many times ill get pulled over down bell st in the morning lol

yeah no cage till less than 10,99

wont do it till i am forced to! had a cage in my 34 and wasnt down! great for twistys really stiffened the f**k out of my car but caused way way too much attention!

small update

last nite i installed a hicas lock bar

dropped the exhaust out as well

tonite ill be starting work on

3 apexi guages and control box

greddy turbo timer

shift light

nardi torino wheel with quick release

carbon console lid!!

ill have my pwr radiator and garage defend cooling panel on thursday and gonna have a go at them as well!

forgot how good it is working on cars its been way too long since i got into 1

forgot it was my mums bday today so had to do the family wog thing and didnt get down to the factory/workshop till 9 still got the guage pod in (nightmare job)

this week a friend of mine (electronics genious who is very pedantik n i rk has o.c.d) is gonna connect em all up n hide all the wiring nicely!

atm waiting on a shit load of stuff to rock up! mainly interior n exterior parts (varbon mainly)

got my roady done last week so can do my victorian rego next couple weeks!

gonna do a major service on my car this week as wekk coz its been 2500kms and 3 months since last one!

the car prob wont get driven before this engine comes out but wanna take good care of it for storage!!

smallish update!

last nite i got the pillar twin guage pod in!

mounted 2 guages in there and another onto left hand side of the dash!

got the guage control unit and turbo timer mounted in the cavity where the ash tray should live!

ran into a couple of dilemnas though! :(

after wiring all the guages and boxes up we confirmed we need to extend the wiribg! sone by 2 inches and a couple are quite a big extension they need!

i want all the wiring hidden so it needs to be a bit longer in some places to reach!!

carbon console lid is done! however the original console plastic locking clip was a bit dodgy from the beginnin....needless to say i need a new one!

installed the steering wheel! removed it after 5 seconds coz the quick release makes it sit way too close to me! removed and put it on without the quick release n its wat better

went away for the long weekend so didnt touch it myself

however my mate was doing a bit of maintenance work on it for me! just making the current engine nice n healthy

changed all this stuff

gates racing timing belt full kit

gates power steering belt

gates water pump belt

gates ac belt

fuel filter

oil filter

installed trust relocator kit

new silicone radiator hoses

new plugs

all oils changed etc

found some faulty stuff too so ordered

new coil pack loom - original one looks a little dicey

water hose off one of the turbos - as above

i know its not a "build" update but maintaining it is just important i rkn

ill b back down there tomorrow after work hopefully get a couple photos :)

  • 2 weeks later...

been rather busy n havnt done much with the GTR unfortunately :(

have had all the wiring extended now but have just put it in the car nothings connected up!

changed front bumper indicators to nismo white ones looks fkn porn :)

ive also taken a fair few pieces off of the car which will be redone in carbon fibre!

hope to have a more decent update over easter holidays

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
