OEM stuff is fine, though unless you need the gear urgently I'd shop around as I've never found these guys to be particularly competitive on pricing.

Well tbh i havnt looked around yet but under 400 for the full genuine kit with a water pump seems decent to me?

I reckon that's a pretty good deal mate, I had both the normal and N1 water pumps in my old 32, negligible difference in temp on the hand controller between the 2, and no problems with either

I've got a gates belt on the 34 at the moment, 30,000 on it so far with no dramas. Went with a standard water pump over the N1

I think the fact that it's all genuine would tie in well with your build too

clutch pivot ball is squeaking like crazy, got under the car to have a look.
being damn holiday i coudnt get to the shop to buy lube. what lube should i get? something heavy, heavier than wd40 i read.

also as you can see, for some reason i dont have a rubber boot on the fork. hoping its not full of shit i there but i cant be bothered pulling the box out if i dont have to.

anyway to the point, listen to this...make you cringe?? :)
what do you think, is it f**ked or will a lube be ok for a while?

also im assuming i just spray grease here and keep pressing the clutch unill it goes away, is this the contact point or is it the other side, i cant quite see.
i dont wanna be spraying grease on the clutch.
which looks like an exeedy by the purple

Also im trying to work out if that is a small cat or if its just a decat pipe, is there an easy way to find out?
and these look like stock front pipes?

Not sure about the gearbox squeak

But they look like after market mild steel front pipes and a 3" stainless decaf like the just jap ones, had one on my old gtr but you won't know for sure till you check inside the cat

ok, looks like im gonna actually have to address the tires situation before i get the new wheels.
:dry:

Im still blown away how the car can handle on this sort of shit.

oh yeah, then this happened.
all i can say is its kinda a tradition.

clutch squeek is sorted For now.

Took my C pillar out to see if it was repairable and its completely f**ked and fallen to bits, looks like ill finally have to buy another one. Grrr.

Now, how the f**k do I release the bottom clasps to release the back seat (bottom section.) Holding the wire loops On the floor close to the front.

tiny update

sick of the standard bent and generally not fitting numberplates.
was gonna get the xx black plates but they have gone to YY plates which look odd.

so ordered some custom plates which i always thought would suit a gtr.

20150410_125601_zpsbdezqipl.jpg

get it?

im not usually a fan of custom plates but i don't mind something that the very occasional person would get. plus they come in square rear and slim front and are black.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
