Hi guys, thought id put together a bit of a build diary to keep track of the build. its something i didn't do with my other cars and i regret it now as i have no pics or a log of how they come together.

On that note, just a bit of my car history.

my first build was a 1989 nissan S13 silvia. the car started out life as a completely standard down to the factory wheels and airbox ca18det auto. by the time i come to sell it, it was rb25det powered, garrett gt3076r, externally gated, sub zero plenum, and all the other usual bolt ons making 277rwkw.

next was a 2006 bionic blue xr6 turbo ute. again it went from a stock vehicle to 382rwkw wearing a host of process west gear, external gate and so on.

during my time owning the ute i also had the dis-pleasure of owning a 1993 r32 gtr. unfortunately when i purchased the car it was to far gone to be recovered and i sold it at a loss.

somewhere amongst those cars i also owned another sr20det silvia and a d40 navara work car.

this brings me to now, and as of late 2012 i become the owner of a 2000 R34 GTR V-Spec.

this is me picking up the car, such a happy day

I also grabbed a set of manifolds that are now in the more than capable hands of pro fabrication getting ported

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
