Finally got my short motor back today, hoping things will progress now. 
bottom end is complete with calico coated bearings, new custom pistons and rings, Nitto crank, Nitto sine drive oil pump, Argo I beam rods. 
this is what 10.25-1 comp pistons look like in an Rb26

Car is at the painters, doing more work on the under carriage, hopefully will be back on its wheels in the next couple of weeks

Well, sub frames are going in, everything is looking mint. 4wd pump was cleaned, every bracket/bolt/nut was either replaced or coated. And have gone with the FPG braided high pressure 4wd line

Looks absolutely amazing!  Love seeing GT-R's go from old to new again!  They'll take 25 years longer to look old the second time around as we're all too scared to drive them much if at all!

Look forward to seeing the completely finished car!

Once it’s done you won’t want to drive it because it’ll be to clean 

Goal is GTR festival 24, want to enter the elite show and shine and dyno comp (if they run it again. 
rear end is finally complete, tank was restored and straps were cerakoted. 
All new lines on top of the tank fitted, new filler hose etc. Rear coil overs installed, ordered new clips for the rear brake crossover line and attessa lines.

Slowly coming along, car is home so working on the interior. Most of it is out, Bought a set of seats and dropped off all the dash parts and door cards to the trimmer. 
and some new electronics. 
OCD is sending me broke, getting things coated that really don’t need to be, if someone ever pulls this car apart again they won’t won’t what the hell happened to it! IMG_0251.thumb.jpeg.5a92750e02ef59fbe22b77b26dd5fbdc.jpeg

What is the coating process for the plastics?  Paint or something else?  Either way they look new again!

Cerakote is the coating, plastics are vapour blasted, dried then the coating applied, I think it’s basically sprayed on, (I’m not 100% sure on this) the coating thickness is 30 microns. There are two types of coating, one must be backed and the other is air cure, which is what they use on plastics and anything else that can’t go in the oven.

Aw sweet, I didn't realise there was an air dry option Cerakote for plastics.  I'm keen to have a crack at doing some Cerakote at home.  From what I understand it's pretty much the same as powdercoating process except it's a liquid, not a powder.

When should I start sending my GT-R parts to Shepparton for Cerakoting?

Spent the day at n the car, dismantling the interior, removed the steering rack and replaced the rubber boot, at first I thought I got the wrong part as the one on the car was solid, but then crumbled when I removed it. Was a mission to change, got my dash pad out as well as the heater core, I got a new core and boost doc fittings to replace the factory plastic ones. 
the dash bar looks clean but as I have an illness I’ll be taking it to be blasted and clear coated before refitting it. Will take the opportunity to try to clean up the wiring and make sure everything is hidden.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
