Lol. I don't even want to know how much all of this has and will cost down the line.

The $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$s, gone, haha

You are dead a long time, do what you want now :)

You see blokes spending $50k+ to get a second off there already fast car. Cars that have had $200k spent on them over the years, then sell them for $85k

There are blokes on this forum that have spent a shitload more than mine will ever cost and then start all over again, all good.

Some blokes just piss it up against a wall or toss it at the TAB, whatever makes you happy :)

Not having a go man. All I mean is, because of my middle class Pay check I would not be able to justify spending that much money in one hit.

Sure if was rich I would splurge. But yet again I would be spending my money wisely.

I know what you are saying, no probs mate :)

But thats why I can do this, I spent my money wisely and worked my butt off , I do not owe anybody a penny and just want to do something a little silly, but something I get pleasure out of.

When I have my car I drive it just about every day, I get a shit load of fun out of it, money well spent, love it :wub:

It is even going to be better fun soon :banana:

LOL @ this guy! Are you serious mate? I don't know what Petes bill was BUT it'd have to be starting at $30K+ im pretty sure thats enough to be classed as a high end customer!

Sure there is blokes/GTRKAT that throw bucket loads more money at those blokes than Pete did does that mean he deserved a car that wasn't setup right from the beginning does it?

Don't get butt hurt over it.

No one said he deserved the issues he has encountered.

More money than most, probably. high end build? not really in the scheme of builds.

I'm not taking anything away from the quality and quantity of parts that he has either.

You're the one who that categorized it

It is just a car, a bit of fun that sometimes can give you the shits. Just like marriage, but still less expensive,LOL

'Gtr and marriage' somehow they don't go well together

I can believe that, but thats OK I am divorced, LOL

That was before I started playing with GTRs

Don't listen to the haters!

LOL, no haters mate, all good :)

Everyone expected more than what the dyno showed, drives better than it looked, well up to 6000rpm, lol but it is still being tweaked.

I am not going for massive HP. It should be all done in a couple of months and I will post the results, well modifying months = ??

I have not driven a car that holds the road like this does after the driveline work I had done and I want to try some hill climb events. I believe there is one close at Wootton Way Bulahdelah, they had one in March but not sure if they do it often ??

Hill climbs are awesome....I'm up giving Neil a hand at the state champs at Grafton this weekend...Mick is meant to be heading up here too.

There is one at Buladelah and it is f**king awesome....imagine closing a 3 lane road and letting people drive up it at full speed. A few others around like Bathurst, Huntley in Wollongong etc

Should be a blast, Have you done some of these events ?

Been having a look at some of the events, Wootton Way looks like a great road and to be able to use 3 lanes, DREAM RUN :)

They get a good mixture of cars in these events and if I ever get to do them, someone will be happy when I grab the wooden spoon off him, lol

I had it in my mind that Wootton Way was a little country road, more like the Lakesway going into Forster from Bulahdelah, now that would be an interesting Hill Climb doing a couple of the Hills on the Lakesway. Much tighter corners I think, it is a fun road and puts a smile on your face, but one lane for normal driving, still fun :)

When I pick my car up I am going to have a look at the Wootton Way road to see what it is like first hand. I know there has been a bit of drifting done there.

Any news Pete?

It was put on the Dyno yesterday after the Dump was installed, so should have a result later today, not sure if I will get a dyno graph , I would like one ?

Still no news on the water leak but they will be doing a pressure search when the tune is done, THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE LEAK AS I WRITE THIS :)

But getting close and I am looking forward to see if the bigger dump and Cat make a difference to the tune and if it spools a little earlier. There seems to different opinions regarding this but most say for a turbo, the bigger the better and none is even better :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
