Shivam man. Y u know unbolt them wipers off????

Paint those parts outside away from the car otherwise the risk of paint spatter from the spray paint is almost inevitable.

Probably should have in retrospect. The lower arms themselves however have perfect paint so didn't need to get done anyway.

Made sure there was plenty of margain for error. Managed to get it done without any splatter. It was only a small area that needed re-spray,

I felt like playing it risky. It payed off. Won't be doing any more work like this on the car :)

Dunno why I didn't get this done first time around. Been old and scratched since I got it. Fiddly and lot of prep, covering everything but worth it. Satin Black. Drivers side, section done. Passenger

It's all good man at least you update your build thread.

Ohsnap

Give him some space man, he's considering re-shelling. Man's going through hard drives. Needs love & support.

Pics of the trim below. Hard to take pics of it. Bit of dust has settle but you get the idea.

A bit of precursor to finally giving the engine bay a bit of attention. Nice shiny new Racepace motor is being let down by tired, scratched paint.

So the radiator cap saga. Original Nismo radiator cap was starting to weep a tiny bit. Replaced with GKTech one. GKTech one loses it's sticker and starts to look crap.

Check it out - Billet Radiator Cap "Cover"

Surprised myself. It looks the goods.

Strut brace bar was looking a bit shabby too with some scratches.

Now in satin black.

Prep of engine bay will hopefully start this weekend.

TE37's ("Touring Evolution"). Loved them ever since I laid eyes on them.

Wheels changed over ready for the SAU Vic Motorkhana on the 28th. Happy I didn't sell the 17" 's. Can never have too many sets of these.

What I lack in imagination with my wheel choice I will make up for in quantity. Another set in 10" wide classic bronze maybe?

A great article on Speedhunters on TE37's.

Just finished reading through this mate. Great build.

I love that you're paying attention to the little things and doing a lot of it yourself. Much better than the builds that people just pay for.

A dangerous place for the wallet to be.

Picked up some sticky AD08R's for track events. Can't wait to try them out.

Will be needing some downforce this year. Time to put the standard boot lid + spoiler painted.

how did it go on? im looking at getting one as well.

3M double sided tape. I tried yanking it off and the bonnet starts to bend & give way first so it'll definitely stay on with just quality tape.

There are also screws holes in the back but I didn't bother drilling holes into my bonnet.

My motorsport calendar for the year is about to start.

Decal time!

Some subtle.

Some not so subtle. This one called for a mate to come help out.

All ready to go for the SAU Motorkhana to begin with. Just gotta attach the pesky front tow strap.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
