How's the hunt on a shell going ?

came to Dead halt

Considering just fixing mine ftm

For the price that R32 GTR shells go for I could by an entire road worthy R33 GTR.

Insane prices

Plus car is currently with tuna

Getting a few little things done

Hopefully can reveal that this week

You can pick up a 33R for 6k!?

probably referring to getting a 32R shell then paying the $ to get it up to scratch etc, would cost the same as getting a 33R?

I'm going to weigh in my 2c here. Regardless of subjective aspects like looks, the 33 is a better car. Wouldn't be a bad move if someone was so inclined.

Fix the chassis, Ants! :)

no. but can pick one up for $15k

Good condition R32 shells I've seen are commanding $9k+ - ridiculous plus thats an 89 model :blink:

yeah mate, I do like the 33 but they are big bulky SOB's

I've worked out that my car is a perfect test bed for body repairs that I will undertake myself.

If I f**k it put well at least I will have learned something plus I can just transfer into something else like an R33 roller for example (although not my first choice)

I really do need to drive to yours and show you why 33's are better than 32.

:P

well then.....I shall await to be graced with your presence and that whale thing you call a GTR :P

Nice thread, read it in its entirety over the past week :w00t:

Definitely fix your shell. Fix shell, acquire dem mad bodywork skillz, acquire bishes :ph34r:
Seriously, given the amount of effort you've put into all the little things, surely it's worth the big effort to stick with what you've got :miner:
Looking forward to updates :yes:

thanks dude. am in two minds right now. Sell it and start new project or keep it and fix it

Strip it down and put it on a rotisserie and fix her up properly

yeah, thats an idea too. but will take an epic long time

Ants liked my post, this must mean he is keeping it. :)

Well, he have to keep it to stop vultures like me circling it for sweet fruit this thing have!

Buying your gtr isn't off the cards for le Ants.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
