Picked up a white '97 GTS25t on Monday in Melbourne, got home and spent most of yesterday giving it a good clean (was in pretty dirty condition) needs another polish and to fix a couple of minor body blemishes.

Just sorting a few mods and will post some pics.

Only a couple of pics from tonight as the battery went flat and I'd had enough in the end... the new BMS R33 that will be used for some R&D and daily transport - for now it has bolt on FMIC kit, Apexi N1 exhaust, K&N pod, R34 GTR rims and a few other things with more under development. My wife is thinking of giving it a run at the Baskerville Hillclimb in Aug, if not her I certainly will as the RX7 is far from finished with the engine still needing to come out...

hiuhih the SX4 is getting an exhaust, the cold air intake is being made and the ecu is on order, i knw it, 3 weeks on and i already want more power.

Saw the odl girl in a sory state last night at the dealer, dam it they arn't looking after it very well.

very tidy skyline there T01

Yeah its still go a ways to go before I'm happy, but nice for sure. Although I think it would go well with the rims I'm not sure if a CF bonnet be look a bit much?

Well I don't post much on here but I thought I would cause I'm bored lol.....

Some of you may know of my Cressida . Anyhow I have been royaly stuffed around with a few parts causing me to rethink the whole project. I am now going to remove the 1jz in favour of a 2jz with a gt35r turbo - can't wait :thumbsup: . If you wanna know what business's not to deal with, shoot me a PM as there is a pretty big list of some well known companies.

In the meantime, so I can get out on the track, I have bought

r31 to piss fart around in :P Don't expect me to scando the straight though lol - Small steps baby haha

Cheers Dan.

P.S. Does anyone know how to get my user name changed to Drifterdan like it is on the other forums?

Wicked 33 Stu!

I LOVE the rims!

Jealous much? :P

Yeah it presents well hey... although its keeping me from spending on the RX7 the 33 is coping some more upgrades including Splitfires, new seats and some Nismo tidy up stuff.

I reckon 34 rims on your blue 33 would look pretty awesome.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
