I had a kogan dash cam when I went driving in Europe. Footage is nowhere near as epic as the scenery was irl (bad) but you can hear me saying things like "fkn hurry up m8" to the slow cars in front of me (good)

So once GTR is on the road, what will the gtst become?

Tracky

a glorified D1R rack

VWL engine swap day may not go ahead...for now.

Had a mechy pressure test the cooling system and check combustion chamber coolant...found a loose hose clamp that was letting air into the system. Engine now running cooler than ever thanks to the 1.3 bar cap (might put the old cap back on to get the temp up a bit when not doing track days).

However, there was a slight trace of oil in cooling system - potentially a slow head gasket leak or what he thinks could be an oil/water heat exchanger that can leak one into the other. May get an oil cooler to bypass this.

$100 later

Alternately:

Found out my "blown head gasket" is actually a cracked block... 7000kms after the build.

$12,000 to fix like last time and 6 months+

Also stock neo, $2500-3k.

mmmmmmmm...

There's a dash cam in the UK that is designed for motorsport too - pretty exxy at like $400 but it has 10hz GPS tracking / lap timer and heaps of other motorsport shit built into it; GoPro quality camera and sound / external mic input. Looked like a good all in one solution you could use on the street as an everyday dash cam too.

yeah, for 20k with a bunch of custom work

or you could LS swap it for a couple thou and throw a huge cam at it

[Kinkstaah]

Would be pretty happy with a LS anything right now!

Also would be happy with an anything right now..

[Mohsen]

LS swapped wrx is high on my bucket list.

f**king retarded^

Generally do engine conversions in good looking cars with average engines/drivetrains, not the other way around!

[Leroy Peterson]

Shhiiiiit Greg. I'd be done. If pulsar motor died again, I'd be done. Stock motor in, worry about other Shit later.

Daily the GTR? That's keen. Personally I'd be keeping kms and waiting for US import and club reg to start rising prices.

or just sell the POS as is and move on
