ok for a start... its for a mates car.... RB25??? pft... if it were me id be goin RB26!

yea... so anyways... i aint spending the money Andy, its a mates car.. he is spending the money.. not me! so ner!

Ill give trojan a call, but is there anywhere else to compare prices and all???

Thanx guys.

But on the other topic... Ill buy your car Richard... or trade.. and you can match it with a bit extra cash... :wassup: :):D:D:D

Congratulations Leigh, You made the top of my list.

All the others have been previously removed.

 

I will deliver your prize.

:kewl:

(personally!)

 

Mwahahahaha!

lol sinista come on tridentt still has to be on top :) one comment from me and i make the top oh well i am feeling the love at least :) haha

All I can say is, Ed quoted me on a few things like swapping turbos etc.. and I was taken back.. so much so that I decided to do it my slef.... Man... I know hwy it cost's a bit, changing the turbos on a GTR is one ****ing anoying job, and not one I'll rush into doing again. And yeah I belive he is fairly priced, but you are paying for experiance and the ability to drive in... drive out.. dont even have to clean your hands, thats a pretty big deal.

If you have the means to do it your self (and the time) I say go for it, it definatly saves money, but be prepared to be with out a car for a few months and have lots of band aids available, be prepared for pain and frustration.... taking an engine out is no easy feat, the concept is simple, unbolt pull out, put in, bolt up, but there is alot more to the application..

If you have the means to pay some one to the the job in several days, Pay it!

Ed's work is top notch! and he is a top, bloke, you get what you pay for!

Trojan are also a good work shop and reasonable priced, I dont know the guys there, but I do know Ed very well. Have known him for 4-5 years, out side of the whole car scene, He will give you no end of help!

Good luck with you decision.!

Cheers

Stirlo!

Still doesn't answer the question.... what's the conversion?

well depends on how much your mate is wanting to spend... if he has an endless budget then tell him Signal Auto in japan do a great job, lol. i dont know many places in canberra i thought only ed but maybe try looking for places in syd? and yes knowing what conversion he is going for would sure help....

thanx all...

if it was the RB to an RB in my car id would be doin it...

BUt its a mates lancer... i dont relly want to say much more about it, as i dont really have his permission, and i dont think he wants it let out... if you know what i mean..

Ed was ment to to the conversion within the last week or so, but has now decided it cant be done for another 2 months... thats y were just after another place to go.

Trojan just finished a heap of conversions and they all looked very neat and tidy to me. You havent even told us what the conversion is and to what etc... But yeah i'd see trojan.

They were cai18 to rb20 and an rb25 in 180's

    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
