the passion

the thing I like about your resto/build is not settling. There is always something that needs fixing or bettering

if your like me you stand in front of your 32 and think that's not quite right I'll fix it. Or it would be better with .....

Sometimes just the little imperfections like the rear wing replacement rubber and rust proofing. I've done that but I'm sure a lot just let it go

the passion to make it the best you can and improving things over time (money and time permitting)

then going back over and making it even better still. Even with Robbies build (an ultimate one) he's still making it better

it never really ends and that's a good thing.

The things may get smaller and sometimes cheaper but even keeping it maintained is never ending

I don't ever think I'll park mine and think - That's it ! ..........I'm certain most with the passion would agree

To ever sell would be the worst due to the investment on all levels.

Kids leave (and sometimes a wife) but the GTR......NEVER........lulz

spot on mate.

Thats me in nutshell and the passion I have for this car is really more like a love affair (ha! so gonna say this to my beautiful wife now lol)

I'm very much a perfectionist and although I have an eye for detail I never intended to make my car just a show pony.

I always wanted to build the car with track work in mind but to also retain its drive ability but also have some looks to go with it

Building the GTR has always been a dream for me and to finally have the opportunity to realise this has been amazing

What is equally satisfying is sharing it with other enthusiasts like you and so many others

I have learned a lot already and keen to learn even more.

As research and technology improves I think there will always be something improve or to do with such cars.

As long as I have the spark and passion for this I will continue this project for as long a possible

Nice job Ants. This build just keeps getting better :)

I noticed that you've got the Tomei Ti sustem on your car. How do you rate it? Do you think it's too loud? I was thinking of getting one for my car but I didn't want something that is too noisey.

Cheers

The tomei Ti is sweet and yes its certainly louder than my old mandrel bent 3'in system but I like the noise.

It can be however, very drony after a long drive around the mountains lol

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
