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

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
