    the progress on this is amazing. waste no time ripping into it!

    May have been answered earlier but what is the size of the 6 boost runners?
  3. WantGTR
    Missing a few bits but you get the idea

    will post pics tonight but i did mine in VHT Satin Black. i was going to leave it as a raw finish but next to freshly painted engine covers it wasnt that great a look. i used VHT primer and black over the top. came out great i think. i also considered getting it polished but that needs its own maintenance schedule. at least this way VHT satin black is easy to touch up. i did not paint my throttlebodies. i sort of wish i did. i gave them a really good clean inside and out. they look good but after everything was together, looked a little unfinished.

    Looks mint. I have some spare rb25 covers (which have been gutted internally to fit a 26) that are perfect for putting in an engine so you dont mark your freshly painted ones... but looks like the new ones are permanently on!!!

    Definitely and attitude problem. How did we get like this?? haha Places like Rome where the traffic is pure chaos. Everyone is beeping and pushing yet no one is getting out of the car acting like a hero lol

    Agree. Sydney has some terrible driving habits. Road rage is at ridiculous levels these days and theres zero courtesy. Funny thing is traffic woukd actually flow faster if people kept left unless overtaking, given way when merging, stop rubber necking when theres an incident on the road.... etc lol I just got back from nelson bay. Barely any cars on the road and people are normal. The difference was noticed instantly when i got back into Sydney.

    Well 32 33 gtrs are 280mm and vspec brembos are 320mm arent they? Personally i havent done the upgrade so i cant say first hand but to me i dont think its much of an upgrade. Considering the car its going on i doubt you would even notice the difference city/traffic driving. Decent disc/pad change with new fluid. Cheap. Cheerful.

    Good to know. Habe you had it on for long? Is there a newer design which accomodate or something?
  10. WantGTR
    ^^ i agree with this. I wouldnt be putting on a cheapo solid balancer for bling. If money is tight get a second hand one from a wrecker.
  11. WantGTR
    Sheesh. All these issues. I am going single and considering a 6boost. Surprised that it does not fit with a/c. Is this definite?
  12. WantGTR
    Absolutely, i agree with you. I think one of the big advantages of going single throttle is using electrontic throttle and the options it gives you. Really brings the ol Rb into the new century. I remember reading a thread on here about someone actually getting oversize throttles done but they were stolen before they were used. Have you looked at what efi hardware have to offer? https://www.efihardware.com/products/2521/Nissan-Skyline-GTR-RB26DETT-Enlarge-Throttle-Bodies

    Whats the point really? Everyone is going aftermarket plenum these days. Extra money, extra bling, extra likes. If youre looking to squeeze more power might just be easier to go single throttle and plenum anyway otherwise leave as is and screen in a few more psi

    I agree with the above. Were you made aware he was moving shops? So your mechanic moves shop and gets you to pay the towie then finds out he csnt even keep the car there and tells you to come and get it? I wouldnt bother going back lol
  15. WantGTR
    they certainly fill out the wheels!
  16. WantGTR
    all good mate thanks. ended up finding 25 covers. for everyone watching, they dont actually fit the 26 without removing the factory baffles. all good, i gutted them anyway. they are perfect to putting an engine in or out and not worrying about marking them.
  17. WantGTR
    This looks like a great setup. well done. What rail is that?
  18. WantGTR
    Thats interesting! When i pulled apart mine they def nissan paper gaskets
  19. WantGTR
    definitely get something better than the stock gasket. tomei, hks, nitto whatever. a gasket dressing is probably not compulsory but couldnt hurt.
  20. WantGTR
    Alot of this stuff can be purchased from rhdjapan. Aussie cluster might be a tricky one...
  21. WantGTR
    I can understand a ss or group 3 variant or even a sv88 (which are worth more than 42k in some cases) but a sl or berlina. No way. Calais is even pushing it
  22. WantGTR
    What spec of VL qualifies for a 42k value?
  23. WantGTR
    Stick with your peanut sti and mod that. You arent gonna win any trophies roll racing either of those cars
  24. WantGTR
    Yes prefer to stay garrett personally. Couldnt wait to put these bad boys on.
  25. WantGTR
    What is the reason you are rebuilding?
