Also, clean the Sharpie off the paint, for a car that was meant to be "mint" that's a great way to make it look half arsed. 

In the pic it really does look like the work experience kid was cutting the rectangle with a grinder. 

IMO, to keep it mint, fill that cutout back in, and use proper bulk head fittings that you out through a circular hole, that seal against the hole and don't allow dirt/mud/other crap to ingress into the vehicle.

 

Also why didn't they wire in the new cam sensor with a little less cable rather than just looping all that excess up on the hot side of the engine with what looks like a bread twist tie?

I like how the art agents are so quick to criticise. And to be frank, show me anyone else that has done what I’m doing on here with a proper Motorsport fuel system in a street car (aside from Paul). TRP build big dollar drag cars so I trust their work over anything anyone says on the internet.

Surface rust, the whole undercarriage is as close to whistle clean as a GTR can get. The chassis rails aren’t squashed, nearly all of the undercarriage is surface rust free.  I’ll post some close ups when it’s back on the hoist. 

And the fact is MBS, I have a GTR, you don’t. I’ll line you up for a pink slip any day pal.

Lol, such a cocky little f**ker thinking his 250kw GTR is all that... 

Also, you have two photos up showing the undercarriage in different spots both with surface rust. Can't understand how you call that whistle clean. 

Clean is rust free, not rusty. 

Bulk head fittings are for putting lines through bulk heads not cutting gaping holes.

Benny it's because you keep calling it mint. We want it to be as mint as you think it is. Just needs a little clean up here and there.

Neither of my "non mint" GTRs had that type of surface rust on the undercarriage.

If TRP are so amazing why the hell are the cutting holes in places that bulk head fittings should be used? 

Shit, even Dose Pipes R33 GTST runs them.

I like the direction, I like the car, but you gotta learn to not get so bent outta shape about people pointing out stuff that anyone with eye balls will notice of you want it to be the minty mint polar beer you want.

Also, why are you challenging people to races for safety certificates? 

See who's car cuts a fuel line on rusty sheet metal and spews fuel out first?

Buy my car Benny.

Has an 8374 and sequential. 

?

Shit, You're alive.

 

Assumed you were either dead or had lost the car roll racing for slips..

I'm OCD enough to know when something needs sorting. All my builds are DON MEGA!!!!

Not f**king SAU DIY.

Wait, maybe 'cause it's not a half-arsed DIY build that you SAU fanboys (who dont even own a GTR) always try stoke the fire....

Please show me your fuel system MBS206, I'd like to see it...

Bahahahaha OMG, how do I like give more likes then is possible for this post! 

 

Also, I'm happy to even bring my GFs slow ass POS and run a Drag Race. First one to top out fourth and grab fifth gear driving wins the other person's car.

Show me your fuel system with bulk head fittings (you know, the fittings for going through sheet metal so things are sealed properly) and not rectangles cut out of rusty steel... 

Oh wait, you can't. 

 

PS, I've never claimed any of my cars were mint. You have, we're telling you how they're not mint. 

Benny, you cannot honestly say, hand on heart, that cutting through the floor pan, not even putting a pinch weld around the cut edge, is DON mega clean OCD spec.

It's truely SAU DIY spec, I see they shit on drift cars owned by flat cap wearing energy drink consumers.

Shit, even in my budget no f**ks given fuel system in the S13 I put some pinch weld around the hole in the spare wheel well. 

Just finish off the little 5%ers here and there and it will be great. 

If TRP are telling you that's their best, get a better workshop.

I don't know and don't care if there isn't a bulkhead.

Reality is, it's a 600kw + rated fuel system.

Please show me anyone else on SAU who has done it?! And no, 1 litre surge tanks that have 300ML capacity with a fuel pump installed dont count!

I've cut an intercooler pipe hole out in my S15, it's the end of the world for that too!

Dan, and you'd still have your GT-R if you listened to the Don's and went Twin Scroll EFR, but you kept dinosaur twins and started hating life. And if you hadn't taken shortcuts I'm sure the new owner wouldn't of sold it after 2-3 months of ownership  ; )?

Matt, you have a GTS-T, I understand you're simply butthurt that I'm at the top of the food chain that you could never get too pal.

This guys just trying to be a troll like he always has been his whole time on SAU. 

f**k, it's been over 9 years since I've even driven the GTST, absolutely zero f**ks given for you having a GTR, but in no way is it "top dog" Maybe as a skyline, and a 90s era performance car, but hell, theres even the R34 and R35 that trump you. :)

 

dans 100% right, you have a nice car, it will have some nice goods on it if you end up modifying it (though I thought this was staying as a nice streeter rather than crazy power and s15 was crazy power car?) but there are some items that are making this car non mint. 

surface rust is one, sharpie scribbled underneath is another, not using bulkhead fittings is a third, and that excess cable all looped up and just by the looks of it twist ties in place.

just a few small things and we'd all go, damn that is clean as f**k.

Not knowing better is fine, but there's not reason to throw a hissy fit when people who do know try and share that knowledge.

Many of us have been working on cars much longer than you, we've wrecked heaps of shit and learned from that.

Yes plenty of people cut holes for intercooler pipes. That can be done very neatly and the hole can be lined for a nicer finish also and removes the risk of rubbing through.

Any time a fuel line meets metal you either go big hole, line the edge or you go bulkhead fittings.

Otherwise you will always have that risk of damage, plus a point for fire to move between two air spaces.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
