And some more bathroom build updates, waterproof it's mum.

Before someone says it's not thorough, there's actually a copper tray underneath the shower area, this shit will outlive me and my future kids.

Meh

Happy wife, happy life

It's not like you cannot do mad skids later

My only concern is the large amounts of common sense being used, actually using money on something that doesn't just burn the money is weird....

Food looks amazing!

Bathroom looking titts too!  The copper base is an awesome idea, we’ve got a leaking shower base at the moment. In a 6 year old house....  Dodgy waterproofing much....?

nice tiles man

where did u get them?

Tile Factory Outlet, cheap and fast. Had massive issues with Tile & Bath Co. They cocked up our order big time (long story).

The floor tiles are all porcelain but the wall tiles are ceramic as there's no real need to get porcelain on the wall, since the water is going to head off anyhow.

These days most builders aim to water proof enough to get it a bee's dick past the 7 year warranty mark and hope to see you again OR they pretend to go bust, change names and off they go again and do shitty work.

Rather be eating in Korea, here's a photo from yesterday at Hong Kong waiting to board the plane back to Chiko Roll Dim Sum land.

Pork, Chicken and Duck plate, because I ain't no vegan.

Just read all 59 pages of this thread. Makes me want to preserve the Nissan in my motor. I am also big fan of the halaltech, had one in my old s14 and wish my new 33 had it ?

 

Also renovating my bathroom atm. Doing everything myself though, did stack bond subways on mine too, good choice. Message_1570348873048.thumb.jpg.ef2cd40b09c66d680add32f112490481.jpg

Keep up the good work, I'm enjoying the various aspects of this jdm/euro/house build thread.

@JCup looks like we have a few things in common, Nissan shitboxes and renovating ???

One thing I haven't tried to tackle is DIY tiling. When I renovated the laundry I paid a tiler, but part of me thinks I should have done it myself.

That's going to be a sick shower, dual rain heads, something the wife wants but I said no as we are planning to either sell this place or rent it out in a few years. I still dream of a house with a double garage, some form of man cave/room and about 30 to 40km to Sydney CBD. At the moment we're in a townhouse that's about 33kms away (so 1 box ticked lol). 

You should have a reno/car build thread too haha

@niZmO_Man habibi, you're a mod - can you change my thread title to "Dose Pipe Sutututu's Home Renos & Car Build Thread + Euro Appreciation"

Poo tickets are to far away, I would end up face down on the floor if I was having drunk dump.

Nah you hold onto that big metal handle with your right hand and stretch out with your left hand for the tickets. Just need to understand what Bourbon limit the handle is rated to prior to putting any drunken weight on it

Rename thread to 

Dose's better home and gardens with a little bit of garage too.

 

Nice bathroom habib, does it make 500kw?

Will give it a hit soon, once the shower screen is in. Should pull those figures easy 

BRO... that thread title :)

Thanks @niZmO_Man if you need hook ups with Elig, Turbosmart, DBA, Motul, Intima, you know who to ask!

 

Inshallah! Must be tuning shit box SR20 season again, returning customer (ADM S15). Last T28BB E85 set up lasted 3 years till the head lifted with stock head bolts. I did advise the customer to put in ARP head studs, but his mates said no need. Long story short, new set up has freshened up bottom (rings, bearings), skimmed head, new valve seals, Supertech springs, new VCT, RAS, new v2.0 Tomei 258 Poncams and to top it off a GTX2860R Gen 2.

Customer is hoping for 250 to 260kW with ball tingling response, car already was doing 1m7s with only 223kW and Hankook Z221 tyres.

Just dialing it in before dyno this weekend, the entire old fuel map needed work meaning the motor is now breathing more hence parts were quite lean. 

Tonight some E85 work and we will be ready for dyno time.

    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something? 
    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
