Fark I go away for a few hours and shits been happening in here....

TL DR version

Ants getting low and tyres

Storage shed guys are dicks

J-Rad is getting a gtr

Martin has a Sore brain

And saw some engine stuff :P

I'll have to catch up reading lol

Ruxis, GTR's are very expensive to maintain (also due to the fact they are AWD)...that is their only downfall

I was contemplating the 600ps Gunmetal Gray R32 GTR for 29k that Iron Chef had in stock at one point, which was immaculate and Grade 4 condition. Until my mechanic talked me out of it and said I wouldn't be able to afford to run it/maintain it. The thing would have had over 100 grand spent on it. HKS 2.8L stroker, T51r etc.

I asked my parents to lend me 14k as I only had 15k at the time, but naturally they refused to lend me money.

Which is why I ended up with a Rwd S15, as cheaper to maintain. But its so slow...sadface =(. And I've already blown all my money on it....and the thing is incapacitated atm.

Buy a shit one, maybe... Buy a good one and you should be right, pretty standard running running costs of any performance cars...

It's just when things go bad, it can get ugly...

But after owning mine for a year, only basic servicing costs have been there

Yeah it should be right. If I do FIFO I'll only be home like 5 days a fortnight so really how much am I even going to want to drive? Haha will have that many jobs on the house to do before I can do anything!!!!

Benji I havent bothered even reading this but thought I would offer you a cup of STFU :)

It's in your best interest :yes:

That yellow one looks pretty good actually. But I have seen yellow 33s that seem to have a pastel type yellow that I'm not a huge fan of... There probably rare like yellow 34rs too?

    • How have you run it in / what has been done in those 6 hours? Also, you need to do the test hot. You have to load the new motor pretty hard to bed the rings in quickly and properly, doing it on the dyno is best and only takes an hour-ish The other question is.....what were the measured clearances post machining and do they match the specs for the piston and rings
    • Sounds like a good outcome, must be nice to have it working well, and yes everyone seems to top out under 250rwkw with a low mount rb25 so you are in the right ballpark. It really would have been worth setting up the boost controller at the same time, but at least now you can share some back to back data on how much difference holding the gate closed until you need it makes
    • I've done this both ways, I'd use the original loom & swap plugs on the engine side as you'll usually end up changing a lot of those anyway. Series 1 is usually non ABS which requires wiring which I can't remember how to do as haven't done it for over 15 years. The auto inhibitor is easy to bypass or in the meantime you can put it in neutral & unbolt it & tape it somewhere in the bay haha, then just wire reverse lights. I'd go straight to aftermarket ecu. A few basics are built in ignitor coils & reverse the CAS wiring, sort the plugs for whatever injectors & IAC-you can use an adaptor for the neo type otherwise the s1 will still work, use the knock sensors that suit the loom & it'll be pretty much running.  
    • This is for an RB20DET. Sorry for not including that. 
    • Welp, this is where my compression lands after my rebuild. Thoughts? I have ~6 hours on the motor.
