Hey :)

I am doing a complete overhaul...
Upgrading and refreshing everything. So at the moment it's garaged and out of action :(
Which sucks, but it will be worth it :D eventually!

Ohh big effort, I'm just in the middle of the same thing.

What are you doing engine wise??

What are you doing engine wise??

Are you running twin or single turbo and are you still running AWD?

It's a single turbo and it's rear wheel....I've got a R33 GTSt...my name has GTR in it because GTSt_girl was taken haha.


I'm pulling the head off, getting it machined and match ported

all new valves

hks drop in cams

HKS cam gears and timing belt with a clear cover

tidy up the injector and coil harness

relocate the igniter

new water pump

upgrade from a mechanical to a thermo fan

heavy duty clutch kit

coil overs cause mine are destroyed

full nolathane kit for rear diff cradle, steering rack, sway bars etc.

bendix ultimate brake pads

overhaul on calipers

And basically a once over to suss whatever else needs maintenance as it's a 93 and I have given it a whooping

When I manage to find one/afford one I want to put a GTR spoiler on.
GTR badge for the boot

full respray

replace the carpet

retrim

that's about it...just trying to keep it as standard looking as possible.
I only use GTR and nismo parts, no knock offs or fibreglass crap...so things are expensive thought worth it haha.


what are you doing to yours?

That sounds really good!!! Your 33s pretty good! Like it's not something I'd expect a girl to have the keys to haha but that's awesome, girls who build cars.

Well you're in luck! I have a GTR spoiler here, it needs paint but that's normal.

Um well last time we spoke it was stock as a rock but so far I've done:

Return flow catch can

Alloy radiator

Greddy inlet manifold with 80mm TB

Godspeed hybrid FMIC

Turbo smart plumb back BOV

Cps full exhaust 3.5" with 5" decat and cannon

Bigger injectors with side feed rail

Spit fire coils

New plugs

Upgraded MAF and pod

GTR grille

Drift tecs

White carbon cluster with blue and red lights

New dash

New seats

Walbro 410LPH pump

Fuel regilator

Power fc

And more

Haha thanks, I get that a fair bit. Love my cars :D

How much would you sell it for!? Been after one for forever haha

Yours is starting to come together quickly. Happy with it so far?

Hey Brodie!

Yeah i think I've met like 3 girls in my whole life who don't roll their eyes when cars are mentioned haha

Yeah I'm so happy with it, can't put the tools down, or my bank card for that matter

SORRY LAND son of rajab ;)

But yeah they're fun cars to play with!!!

Mmm I'd sell it for $500 x 2 / 4 -100 x 3 - 300

;) have fun with that

GTR badge for the boot

Welcome to the SAU world Brodie! Female + Skyline = :wub:

Your car looks Awesome with those Rims and a GTR Wing will Definately be Tougher than the series 1 wing but please, for love of the God of Boost, don't put a GTR badge on a Non GTR. :/

Having said that, Enjoy your car and all that SAU can offer. :thumbsup:

just some tips....why all the headwork....you want a better flowing head just put a neo head on it...either way its a waste of time really...dont bother unless its stuffed and needs rebuilding...bendix pads are junk and will dust up those beautiful wheels like crazy...putting a thermo fan is not an upgrade...its actually a downgrade...

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
