Needs twins to be a GT-R, or be like Advan and put twins in a GTS-4, and put GT-R guards on it. GT-R with sunroof lol.

He argued that till he was blue in the face and went quiet after I hit him with “does the Japanese vin start with bcnr33?”

This is genius 

Then all the GT-R boys can do single turbo conversions and pop in NEO blocks to be GTS-4s.

@r32-25t you going to redo the engine loom too? I'm tempted at the moment as well. I stripped back the OEM loom and it's still good so kind of feels like a waste.

Yeah I will be replacing the engine harness, just look at it being almost 30yrs old and it’s out at the moment so may as well

Injector have been changed twice and turbos 3 times 

at least I’m not the mack daddy of the 80k rust bucket 

850s

1000s

1250s

Then 1650s

come on Brett… I thought you did the maths, & do it once and do it right?

I’ll stick with my Mack daddy “rust bucket” thanks, at least it has a blue plate 😂😂😂

I’ve never had 850s 

building cars is a journey and one I’m happy I took because I enjoy working on my car not writing cheques for other people to do it. 
 

so unless you actually have anything useful to say I’d appreciate if you troll other parts of the forum, like I give you to the courtesy of staying out of your threads

Going a new OEM one or custom and deleting the crap you don't need like the AFM wiring?

AFM wiring actually turns out to be perfect for wiring in an EMAP sensor.

Going to grab the wiring specialties one and remove the wires I don’t require and replace them with ones that I do need ie. Load cell and pressure sensors a

Because of needing the bay to go back to bare metal the shop tried to use stripper to remove the paint and because it wouldn’t remove the undercoat it was decided blasting is the only option.

blasting is booked and so is the tow truck

Somehow, it finds a way to escalate 🤪

There’s always these little things you never expect but I’d rather just do it and end up with a perfect job 

Yep, I said the same, and now 5k in parts later 🤔

The parts I’d really like to buy is the brake lines, Nismo heritage have some of them but according to their pictures they don’t have the complete abs versions. 
 

they have the lines that go from the master to the pump but don’t have the ones that go from the pump to the left and right fronts or the one that goes from the pump to the rear. And nissan in their wisdom made both abs and non abs lines the same part numbers despite them being completely different shapes and sizes

No, all the brake lines are available from Nismo for front and rear and the abs and non abs pipes are not the same part numbers. We replaced both the ABS fronts from ABS pump on the white 32 recently as someone had made some pretty average replacements. For example front left ABS ones are 46242-RHR21 (old part 46242-04U00) and non abs for left is 46242-RHR20 (old part 46242-01U10).

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
