Sourced a near perfect condition intercooler through Aaron @ Import Monster (who also sourced most of the other bits I needed), finished off all the piping and dropped in the airbox and power steering pump.

I can only now appreciate what you have done here (and in your bnr32 build thread) after I am 9 months into my first build...

You make it fkn hard not to envy you!!!

Well done indeed mate

Thanks mate :) Your build is looking awesome glad I am not the only one with a serious addiction to GTRs!

The suspension setup at High Country wasn't right so I have been playing around with rebound, slow and fast bump settings. Car is starting to feel really good and confidence inspiring so will be good to get back out on the tarmac rally tracks to see if its getting close.

Aaaand a little vid from last weekends SAU VIC DECA on the mega mini wang. They tell me she ran the fastest time for the day so something must be starting to work.

Wow that was quick! Is there going to be more in the thread?? Love the outcome, good work bud

Cheers. Yeah very much a retrospective build thread, I will update it with development of the car and results as it goes forward.

And this is probably my favourite shot so far. Awesome to be able to look back at that bare rolling shell and a shot like this.

Almost looks like Need For Speed or GT3 or something.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
