have to have my two cents on this.

mock ups? what an absolute wank. if you want a car you buy it, you dont make it something that it isnt! putting the pannels on may be alright to an extent, but GTR badges on a GTST, dude come on!!

if you plan to have an rb26dett transplant, it would be better and a whole lot more fun to have a sleeper that looks like a gtst, but has the power of a gtr, in a rwd, this = fun.

the funniest mock up i ahve ever seen was a guy who bought an sv6 and spent more on it to gfet it to look like an SS than an actual SS with leather would have actually cost him. now who is gonna buy a V6 SS????

same things mate mock ups = gay

Keep in mind a GTSt with GTR looking bits and an engine is still a GTSt when it come times to resell. An actual GTR will sell for more than a mock GTR (even if it is RWD but identical otherwise).

You'd be better off selling the car to your brother, who from the sounds of it wants a GTSt, sell the GTS, add the money from that, add your savings for the conversion and you should be able to cover the costs for a GTR easily. This way you'll save your brother the cost of having an engine transplant, and both of you having cars off the road for extended periods.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
