Hello! Finally rejoined the club!

Hey Everyone,

Names Chris, been a forum stalker for ages now finally picked my new baby up and ready to get playing!

Had an R32 GTS-T with a S1 284rwhp RB25DET with conversion when I was 18 that was my first true love, then she met tragic circumstances with my brother in law and a light pole (everyone was fine... except my pride and joy)

Finally, 10 years later found her reincarneted in R34 GT-T form with tasteful mods and booked her straight in for a full birthday with a Skyline specialist to get her to 400rwhp. All the supporting mods are done, (Injectors, 90mm throttle, Alcon 330mm brakes, Tomei Cams, fuel rail, FMIC, Exhaust etc) Just bolting a low mount GT30 on with boost controller and a bit of maintenance and she will be a weapon!

Just wanted to say hi from Perth and its good to see a lot of helpful, like minded individuals!

Cheers
Chris

Nice! It looks beautiful! 

I particularly like your engine covers. 

:welcome:

Are you planning on doing a build thread?

 

Thanks man, yeah they are custom painted RB26 covers with modified for the VCT gear on the Neo, with the forward facing inlet plenum (which I am told actually loses you power unless running high boost).

As for a build thread, I dont think I will go too crazy with it, it will be all the little subtle/aesthetic changes I will make. Once I get her to 300rwkw that is more than enough streetable power... We will have to see how far my passion takes me if I end up feeling she is worthy of a build thread haha.

Thanks for the Welcome!!

Welcome Chris, 

drop into the WA section for a chat and catch up for a meet sometime:408_beers:

Cheers mate, yeah I will for sure!!

I intend on the smaller aesthetic touches and visual/electronic customization, and yeah love to brainstorm some ideas and get/give advice, so getting to know the scene in WA is definitely on the agenda! :12_slight_smile:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
