I'm still doing short term oil changes, will swap to a genuine filter when it's been driven a bit more. 

Next order ill order another nismo sock for the oil filter....

Also looking into options for the battery. Possibly a stand+enclosure welded up.... at the moment it's literally propped up with wood hahahaha

Few questions...

The black fuel line that runs over the plenum.. Should i braid that for the lulz? 

Also considering either braiding or getting one of the old school greddy hard pipes for the top Rad hose...???

I finally managed to get my hands on a decent condition optioned up foot rest, and i didn't have to pay drug (nismo) money for it. Pretty stoked. When that arrives that means the interior is pretty much done. Unless as stated above i want a nismo cluster and/or the optioned knee pads.....

Gearbox has a slight crunch 4th syncro. 

Or new diffs? !!

Tip all of that money you might spend into my car instead, know that it went to a good cause? 

 

I'll tell you what, you give me the car and ill spend all the money on it. 

An interesting counter offer.... 

The car did come from Canberra actually, maybe it was always meant to be yours. 

As for your list, I would rebuild box. Reliability/avoiding further damage over upgrades IMO.

Why Quaife instead of Nismo at the front?

A lot of ppl seem to prefer them over the Nismo. I'm not sure why as the reasons they specify it sounds more like a setup issue personally.

Personally I've been in a couple of cars with Nismo front diffs setup correctly by RPM and they were fine after run-in.

I'd do transfer case mod>front diff> rear diff (in that order)

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
