I got busted for driving my R33 GTS25t, the cop walked away with a huge grin on his face!:shake:  

I had to go to court and was facing 1) loss of licence 2) extention of P's 3) $500+ in fines.  

I got off with it though as i'm a fat bastard (~100kg) and that extra weight in the car was enough to put the power-to-weight down to 123kw/t :D  

I don't recommend this though. I WAS VERY LUCKY the magistrate saw it my way.

hmm.... almost makes me re-think getting a R34 while i'm on my P's.... damn, i don't wanna be driving around with that sorta of consequence hanging around the back of me noggin...

hmmmmmmm *enters deep thought*

Jet,

Say stock standard series 1 with a 3 inch cat-back exhaust and 4 inch tip.

Got is standard so I could work the crap out of it and know exactly what was in there!

Thinking on doing...

1) FMIC 2) T3/4 or similar 3) BOOOOST 4) POD (if factory not up to spec) 5) new front/dump pipe 6) Engine Management

Should see about 200+ rwkw. enough for me for now!

I want to keep it looking stock though, a semi-sleeper, as the skyline badge is going to scare heaps of would-be-heros away instantly.

My car was an auction grade 4.

I got a copy of the auctioneers report and went over it with my agent, and a friend.

only 1 tiny dent in drivers door, and a small dent in passenger-side RQP, near bumper!

Have to wait until off my Ps to mod the car though! will save $$ in the process:D

phorj -

cops must be pretty hard on younger drivers out ur way cause ive pulled over by cops and im on my Ps and none of them gave a crap about it.

oh well.... only 4 more months of being on my Ps now.

I was pulled over by the wrong cop on the wrong day!

At this stage I was driving it around on a UVP (Un-Reg Vehicle Permit).

I was going to the garage (my friends) to get my cambelt done and stop a knocking from the engine.

The cop prob thought it was BS and stuck me with the ticket!

Main reason he pulled me over was no plates on my car due to no-reg at that time.

they don't target everyone with an import, but some cops do know what to look for.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
