Built it from

Scratch ? 14 years that's long :) Have you take it to the track ?

Pulled everything out of the car except fuel tank and diff, prepped body and changed from red to yellow. Rebuilt engine with good bits. Tidied up interior and engine bay a bit, still needs few things yet but with limited time it's very slow.

Yep had it ages. Dragged it when I got it and smoked clutch 3rd run. Put it around racetrack in collie. Had a great time!! Plan to do it again one day once finished

I've done the same but not to my car , my Motorbike CBR :) Stripped it all

Out and rebuild it with new fairing , and the whole lot, didn't take me long tho , prob 4-5 months top ? Bought it for $2k and sell it for 6500 [emoji6] Had fun rebuilt motorbike cause it's easy and not so much time consuming

i planned on 6 months as i had a company car and didnt really need it...2 and a half years later got a new job with more time off...started the engine 3 months later for the first time

ahhh time to get back into painting now the kids are asleep...

just uploaded another 110+ photos for the Japan album...keep an eye out

Will do and thanks for posting all amazing pictures [emoji6]

Morning all!

As a few of you guys are scattered around thought would put this out there, my lil bro is looking for a car he would love a skyline but he only has saved 500 any way I am helping him out and giving him another 500 so looking at spending around 1000, (little more for right car) he is 18 going on 19, he also likes civics,preludes and integras so if anyone sees any locally around this price point let me know please :)

For $1k, you won't get much. I have a Lexus ES300 with a fkd auto box in that price range though :P

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
