got a reaper up top of my arm, started on my sleeve, still have 6 hours ahead just to finish the shading on him, but hey be worth it :D

after this is done in next fortnight focus is back on car parts again haha

On builds just acquired all my parts required to finish off my first stage of engine mods..

Doing decent service on it before ebc, cam gears and tune happens next month... Heaps keen!

What EBC did you end up going with or still deciding?

Do you still need those cam gears Ant?

what else do you need for your future -9 upgrade? i have a few parts lining around (new injectors, can prob get you my old(but new) vipec ecu cheap too)

Hey mate, don't need the cam gears anymore sorry mate, ended up getting some new tomei ones for a really good price, they turned up today.

Ah roughly for the -9 upgrade would be adding:

Turbos obviously ha

Different ecu

Injectors and pump

Clutch

Think that's about it, kinda gong/hoping for a simple but effective build.

Yea those parts sound interesting mate if they would suit the above?

What about oil pump for oil starve ant??

Don't you need lots of supporting mods in a gtr?

Yea havent looked into whats required for oil etc yet too much, i know there will probably be a few little extra supporting mods to do when the build happens.. but at this stage mainly concentrating on whats required to make my power goal, then go from there as its still quite a way off.

Not sure if i need to go crazy with it though as its not a track car, if i was making it for track then yea i would go crazy with that stuff.

Simply, but effective build list

The nismo injectors are 600cc - perfect for that power range unless your going e85. Also, I lied - It's a link G4 ecu not a vipec (essential the same) that i gave to Paul - i'll ask him if interested in selling it

100,000km service wouldn't hurt either.

Crazy - Nitto/Tomei pump, cam baffels, 8-9L race pan, race pan baffles/gates, oil restrictors turbo/head, catch can, oil cooler

moderate - billet gear replacement, sump baffels, catch-can, oil cooler, 1L overfill

basic - n1 pump, sump baffels, 1L overfill

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
