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 havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
