And one more update for the weekend.


Found this while sorting out all the parts that need to be relocated.

Forgot I bought it - Standard Airbox with Snorkel and new Blitz Filter Element. Getting rid of the K&N pod filter setup that it came with. No benefit at the power levels i'm looking at.

She has been moved into storage until the rebuild in July. Folks need to get some work done to their garage and they've let me store it in there for 7 years for which i'm grateful.

Thank god for having a mate with a big shed though!

Looking forward to some more updates mate! Awesome build!

With the engine build does that include labour to take engine out/in and tune? And how many different stages do racepace do?

Man nothing better looking than a black 32GTR. Epitome of TUFF!

I was thinking the same thing when you posted the recent pics of yours. Yours looks awesome with those skirts and wheels.

Great build mate, love the black GTR. Nice choice on the -9's too, if I had the cash they are exactly what I would use on my 260. Response and Power :)

thanks dude :)

Yes, that cost includes engine, out/in and tune. I started doing engine out on mine but then abandoned the idea as i'm poor for time atm and it will create too much of a mess for the workshop to work with

.

There is also a Stage 2 and that's a 2.8L (about 14K from memory). Dunno about Stage 3 but i'd say that'd be 3L? I'll ask next time i'm around there.

Black.
GTR.
Fitment.


So - now I'm jealous.
And I wish I had the money upfront to fix my GTR.

Saving sucks. :-(


She looks stunning mate. VERY clean, hope to cruise sometime.
Two black on black, with added black GTR's would be a cool sight. ;-)

any updates?

Not much to update atm unfortunately. Lifes been a bit hectic (in a good way). Got my bucks this weekend. Going to get married in mid June and honeymoon straight after that. Car and all parts are currently sitting in a large shed....waiting, waiting.

Will try and get to the car and sort out all parts and get the fuel system sorted, hopefully before the wedding, ready for the rebuild. N1 Engine is getting dropped off early July to begin the build, followed by the car when they need it.

Damn. This is the end, I was only just getting in to it. :(

Awesome build so far man, I can't wait until you start the re-build. :)

ETA on rebuild?

Spent some time yesterday at the cars temporary resting place, sorting out the parts. Removed the 17" TE37 that couldn't be balanced. Will drop it off this week to get repaired.

(all the stuff stacked behind the car front left to right are parts)

Well getting married this weekend so will be away from anything car related for a couple of weeks then.......REBUILD TIME!

In the mean time considering what to do about the seat situation.

Currently have twin Sparco Pro 2000's with custom seat rails by Meridian Motorsport. (not adjustable, bolted in)

Considering selling these and getting R34 GTR seats. I figure they'll be great for daily driving and tracks days too. Thoughts?? I'm not the biggest fan of the standard 32R seats.

Yeah R34 GTR seats are nice but there are other options too like recaro and bride. Hav a look around first.

Condolences on the wedding one step closer to death for you my friend......

joken..... Congrats and enjoy the day!

HAHA , yeah a got a lot of that on the bucks night

hanks mate :)

Also, a bit late but congrats on baby no.2 mate. Can't wait to have a couple of my own in the next few years :)

Eagerly awaiting the updates on your car too. Soooo clean and awesome!!

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
