What a tool 'rorykinz'. GTRs are arguably the best Japanese production performance cars ever. Dam fool doesnt know what he's on about and probably is jealous of GTR owners & their income. Ask any mechanic with no bias and knows about jap cars, they'll agree that the skylines do really own the rest with GTRs having amazing potential.

There are also quotes in this thread where people are saying "people buy skylines just so they can say they say they own a skyline", hmmm maybe some people do, but it seems just about all skyline owners mod their cars because of the cars great engines & parts. I bought a GTSt because of its good power for money... whack a bit of money into it, next thing you've got a 12 second car for under 25k. Doing up a car is a hobby and im sure all other skyline owners would do it even if it wasn’t kool because it’s a passion.

The real problem with the GT-R is that it is not Drift Spec, so it is not cool...
I really hope this dude wasnt for real? lol

There are so many wrong things about that thread I wouldnt know where to start.

Hahah has that thread been closed? It's because that fool was getting his ass kicked with better points. I would have joined to slap him some sh!t.

but why is it these days most of the owners seem to own this car for sheer wank factor and nothing else? A minutes worth of discussion with them and you can tell they have no idea what they are driving, that they think they are 'cooler' for owning it, and in the middle of a Nerd life crisis

This i have to agree on with some drivers not just gtr drivers but alot of import drivers. My 2 cents.

Hey, im not gona give shit to anyone is less fortunate with there car or has less money *because there's ALWAYS someone who has more money or a faster car then you do*. But what i do have a problem with is them making up shit and ripping off something better simply because they are jealous. Jealousy is a bitch.

Must be school holidays.....

The gtr can't rip up hence it doesn't attend MCCR cruises??? BAH HUMBUG!! Life isnt all about drifting and burnouts and yada yada...I read somewhere that drifting was the new rice...Im tending to agree more and more as the days go bye.....

    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
