Hi Like, .2L,? 2.6 t0 3.2 = .6L to help off boost ?

Paul has explained.

And bonnet off ftw!

Bonnet back on means it's an outside car now.

Mwuh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

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 :)

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
