Sounds like it's all coming together now!

I'll be interested to see your paint results with the PPG mix, as my car is also currently under the gun using PPG. Hopefully it's a quality, robust paint.

Any ETA of turn key?

Im hoping I get it back this week. Then we rip out the rb20 next week. May paint the bay again next week end and remove the hicas lines. So turn key sometime next next week for the rb26

I know who he is on here... ahhh so frustrating! Car may be painted tomorrow as they wet rubbed it today.. those rails are the final piece of the puzzle

well the guy with the rails messaged back yesterday.. saying hes really sorry. they have been sent and he will follow it up on monday
well see how it all goes

anyway.

OMGGTR (george) came past with his scary torque wrench (that kept on making f**king sounds every time i went near it. must be an arab alarm) and bolted the head down and did the timing!

Unfortuate about the hand!

Have you found any weathershields yet? I haven't had a look at the coupe ones yet, but was gunna see if they could be modified to fit a sedan door?

Don't bother getting coupe ones, they're different in length, body lines are different.

I found out when I bought a pair thinking its same between coupe and sedan.

Either searching for used pairs or buy new ones from Nissan/amayama.

    • 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
