fkn frustrated with the car atm, paints gone to shit, alarm is playing silly buggers, and today the indicator decided its not going to cancel any more FFS!!! 
That was me a year ago. Me and Dave test drove it. Pulled hard at 7000. Dave broke the ton in a 60zone. Breaked solid, handled awesomeness? Stalling on the way home after purchase. misfire 2 days later, front brake discs and pads died, steering stopped centering, holes in exhaust, radiator shit it's self, immobiliser shut ignition down. Rear seats had no bolts, doors wouldn't shut. Intercooler pipes leaked, tyres had chunks and holes from ridiculous camber. new coil packs, plugs. Oil change. Rack rod ends, castor arm bushes. Full exhaust, new front slotted rotors and pads, lifted ride height, rewired immobiliser and spaghetti under dash. new cat x 2, blew the 100cell ceramic to bits and melted it. New master and slave cylinder sleeved, clutch fork came off pivot ball, new gearbox oil. New diff oil, diff chattering bad, Ford lsd paste fixed it. Stereo crackling and not working, full custom install, new tyres. And foot settings. Air con compressor clutch sized, new compressor. Cleaned Iacv replaced solenoid. A/c whirring noise in dash now and rattling. Revs dropping to 500rpm when a/c fan cuts in. Load on alternator. Rattle near turbo under full load and running rich. Easy outed and replaced manifold and turbo bolts. Blatantly refuse to fix anything else till the turbo fins enter the exhaust. 1 full year of skyline ownership. ;-)

I can hold my cool for 3 or 4 mins then it all goes in the bin lol
That's why the bouncers took martin's I/d, imagine the big bald headed unit cutting loose chocking the f**k out of a tiny Japanese steering column, scary>:)

R34 the Manual is so good, think my 4th synchro may be on its way out.

215 as an auto then 245 as a manual he said he did see 250 on one run but couldn’t find it, also he didn’t do a full solid power run for show.

Next time or any dyno days coming up would be keen for a run!

Now I want to go for a cruise in the hills!!

Nice!

My old auto on a hot day made ~190rwhp (not that you can compare 2 different dynos), still nice results!

If you wanna go for a cruise we should do it while I have this (it's not turbo though)

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
