All this talk of tyres is making my brain hurt

Just get a second set of rims with some Dunlop slics and problem solved

Nah it's all good, just going to get a good street set.. Will get 18s in the future if I decide to track etc...

yeah 595 ss, i want rsrs but 1000 bucks >.<

on another note,

i just drove a gtr, was big and yellow and im f**kin getting one next year!!

cant beleive the difference!! uts f**kin epic!!! keep a look out for a 33 gtr boys. low kms, many mods, 20k

will be buying feb/march next year when i got a steady job

Was it the twins or the AWD

For the money of a 33 GTR you could get a Stag. Twin turbo and AWD plus room for a baby seat for future use

everything man, race seats, you felt like you were sitting in a jet, the twins sound sick, the twin bovs sound sick, the exhaust, the fact that everyone was looking at it just driving down a back street. f**kin awesome.

yeah but stags are f**kin gay hahaha.

Might need to buy a yellow 33r to get the 'deer in the head lights' look from everyone haha

Just have cash to rebuild 10K is a good firgure, i got stuck for a few weeks with mine when i blew it, lucky i "found" 10k. My rebuild will be done 1st week of next month costing around 9.2k, they had to order more parts then they thought as the head was FUBAR thanks to the 3rd and 5th bearing going for a swim through the engine.

Questionable 2nd hand r34 engine's...yes

Solid rebuilds....No

But good to hear it's coming along Adam. Unfortunatly build budgets never go to plan :unsure:

Edited by wedge_r34gtr

ah i see, so itll be stronger then stock now?

With Adam's build list, he definatly will be able to handle some more power pretty reliably.

But i was mainly refering to the knowledge that the engine was going to be in good shape once finsihed i.e.'solid'

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • 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 😅
