yes.

okay, for the past few months i have been getting the motor to run right and pretty much cleaning the old girl up for a rwc

found a mint R32 GTR drivers seat thanks to my mate up in newcastle.

back onto the rwc issue. it is SO f**king hard to actually get one in victoria... the tester wanted all the interior trims to be put back in, but overlooked the 3" exhaust, stretched 225s and height. wtf

sup niggas.

no updates lately as i have been swamped with work.

at the moment the car is sitting tidy on the BBS RS'

i tried to get a dodgey rwc but no luck, so ill take it into the shop up the road and see what needs changing and change shit, then take it into epping kmart tyre and auto(they dont know shit about cars lol)

i have parted with the RB30 block.

reason being it wouldnt be worth building.

the alternative is across the ditch in the land of sheep f**kers.

yes, RIPS.

a forged RIPS short block would work out to be about 7.5k AUD excluding shipping and tax.

that includes stock balanced crank etc, collar, billet rods, pistons etc, blue printed, oil pumps.

so all i have to do is buy a head, reco it, throw in some cams, slap it on + turbos etc and tune it.

i know youre all dying for pics.

but ill be a cock tease and let you all wait till i do the feature and throw some pictures from there onto here.

yes, i said feature.

complete RB26 just popped up for the right price, has a spun bearing with minimal damage, so checking it out tonight and if its all sweet ill put a deposit.

rips cratey looks to be on hold for now, ill run the 26 till she blows.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
