You blokes are damaged merchandise :)

We have all owned Gtrs for a number of years now and unfortunately most of the this isn't anything new for us

Well someone could have clubed me to death 14 weeks ago, I would have done it for all of you :)

this is new to me.

I don't have the funds to pay a workshop to build for me.

I really wish I did.

Maybe you should open a shop, be nice to your customers, no bullshit about completion dates and bingo $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I did that, problem was keeping the work load constant enough to stay a float long term

When I started business I kept working for a bloke full time and did mine after work, did that for 7 years, 7 days a weeks and very long days.

Too many people think starting a business is easy and all you need is the money, starting is easy enough but keeping it going is the hard part. You need a skill, a willingness to work long hours and be in the area where most of your business comes from, helps to know people :) OH,A SHIT LOAD OF LUCK!

I struggled once I got it started, making money was easy enough, went to my head for a while. But I was not a businessman type and that also made it hard and easier to make bad decisions :(

if i could, i would.

Unfortunately, haven't done anything engine reco course.

And many mechanics who open a shop have a pre existing customer base in the former of after work, work.

I don't really know anyone who wants work done.

My family live too far away.

Friends are all mechanics.

So, really narrows the field.

Yeah Luke

There is so much more to it , but it is great if you have the talent to do most of your own work, save a fortune and you get the satisfaction of a job well done :)

You hear a lot of blokes say if I had the money I would do this or that, money does not make it work , unfortunately :/

I think my my job would be very close to finished and in their best interest to get it done ASAP and get paid :)

The modifications and the ceramic coatings are done for the Turbo exhaust housing and down pipe and ready to go in . As I understand it from them, it is the last of the mods needed to put the final touches to the build and then a quick tune.

Apart from a pic of the clutch, the drivetrain was finished without another pic being taken while it was up and this gets my attention, being a skeptic :/

Out of all the builds I have seen on forums , this has to be the most boring, uninformative one I have ever seen, like "Wham Bam , thank you Mam" in slow motion.

I hope the the outcome is worth it . Paul, I will let you do a test drive after the final tune and you can let us know if the shit I went through was worth it ?

So I guess it is close, might have to go to driver training school as it has been a while :)

You're spose to be telling us if it was worth it. :D

haha, I will do that but I want someone that has had these cars for a while and SEEMS to know what he is talking about to give his opinion :)

Hows the brakes on this beast?

Backs have about 3500Klm on them, my mechanic up here just put new fronts on, cannot think of the name of them. He said they are pretty good cold and could even take a couple of quick laps but that would be about it.

As I will not be doing track, quality brakes will do the job until I see what I really want to do with the car.

Paul said to try Endless CC-RGs, once I am finished playing :)

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
