Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Ok guys.

A wreck for a 33 GTR for reasonable money is proving harder to find so I've decided to keep the whale for a bit longer... The R34 dream is not dead, just delayed.

So I picked the car up today after being in a panel shop for 18 months. Car ran beautiful for 500M and had a fit. Had to get it towed. Wouldn't even start! Micky Hill came to the rescue and we towed it to Unigroup. Thanks a lot mate!

On the side of the road I changed plugs and 3,4 and 5 came out soaking wet. Injectors are f**ked.

Towed it to Unigroup and that was confirmed. The plan is to throw ANSU 1750 cc stainless injectors in and run her up. OS88 with the R3C will be installed also.

What a farken pain in the ass. Don't let the cars sit around too long. Fuel system hates it!

Glad to see you are going to get to use your car again and putting the OS88 in :thumbsup:

Marko, it was diluted to E0 before I dropped it off in Feb 2014. Put some 98 in it around July last year. With the in/out/in /out of the workshop it chewed it all. Some martini E85 got chucked in.

Either way, injectors are f**ked as.

Oh well. It is what it is. New injectors and box in.

The "other card" will have to wait for a bit. Stay tuned ;).

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
