Oh no. That's not what i want to hear. [emoji43] Did something go wrong or is it just how it sometimes goes? I've been told 5-7 day recovery max. I'm glad to hear you're on the mend again.

Ok. Ok. I get it. It's not a Skyline. How about $5000? You probably can't build a Lemons car for 5k(maybe). If you are even at all interested let me know. [emoji16]

Lurker Steve here. This month: I blew up my BMW (bottom end). I got fired. [emoji26] I did my back on the long weekend (too much picking up small children incorrectly). Next month cannot be worse. Oh wait. Getting a vasectomy in two weeks. [emoji849] I'm praying it doesn't hurt.

If you're over it and you don't like driving it, looking at it or working on it sell it. Otherwise keep it.

Welcome Texas friend!!! Would love some pictures... I'm all about the pictures. Not so good with the helping. [emoji849][emoji16]

Dude... Its 2019. 20s minimum or you're not cool. ??? That car should be on a 30+ degree angle.

Nothing says bogan like a Falcon or Commo on steelies... ?

I'd suggest take a photo of the two clusters together. Make sure you're upfront if you ever sell and you might be ok (depends on the buyer then).

I think you might be right. [emoji16]

Also I'll add, no one believed me. People were incredibly rude when I attemped to explain why i expected house prices to dip. Some of my family were the worst. So its not all sunshine and rainbows. [emoji848]

It's not rocket science. My wife and i sold our house about six months too soon. I've since spent most of the money we made on GTRs... lol. (not really, I'm still lookin for a new investment, thanks cash rate gettig destroyed... )

No this one has just been painted blue apparently. Although. My friend @Pal has just sold his LM to someone here in Melbourne. So no the one above isn't an LM, but yes there is another in Melbourne (in a few weeks I think). Yep, and if you zoom in its got a Vspec sticker and mine doesn't. But in your (and everyone elses) defense, I actually assumed someone had stolen my car and called a friend to around to my house and check on it as I was on holidays.

My GTR friends absolutely blew up my phone initially thinking it was me until some people with keen eyes saw a couple of differences. Thanks for the kind words. [emoji16]

I couldn't agree with you more. But, they're ridiculous money and it looks like i've missed the boat on getting a set for less than 2.5k. Never mind. I am still to polish the ones on it. That will help a little (i hope).

Time to go stalking people on SAU! Thanks for the responses.

Is this the R33 LM (Approx 400hp atw) you're talking about? Or a different Eric?

Mine has a 2.8 bottom end (Tomei). It's rated by them to 800hp (IIRC). If I was going to spend the insane amount of cash the last owner did, i'd be looking at 3L+, i'd be doing away with the 2.6 block. The total of the components (that I have receipts for) is something like 35k in parts alone. Add to that a bunch of time that must have been paid for and the fact i've dropped another 10k into it. What I have is a very capable and (seemingly) solid build for up to 500kw atw. Anything more than that and i'm going to start to break things (probs gearbox). If my build were to happen today, I can guarantee that it wouldn't have a 2.6 (or 2.8) in it. It would have been a 3.0L block stroked. I expect that they also would have dumped the twin turbos and gone a decent single. If you're going all out, you've really got to consider buying the right parts first time and don't worry about trying to make the 2.6 produce a million kilowatts. Build an engine on the side if that suits you better. The more money you put into the 2.6 the less you will have for your goal engine. If you don't know what your goal engine is, start with your power level and work backwards. You might find it's closer than you think. Also GTR ownership itself doesn't seem that expensive, it's the modifications that get you. ?

Sounds like you need a Stagea and R33 GTR wiring diagram to match everything up. Give searching a go on the forum for each one.

Possibly you shorted a circuit and blew a fuse? Or maybe damaged a wire. Possibly your connectors aren't seated? It might be a good idea to take some pictures and post them up.

I wouldn't hate that... maybe. [emoji848]

I haven't got a horse in this race but here's the setup in the back of my car. I went and checked because i wasn't sure what mine looked like. Also that rust... think I've found my next weekends work. [emoji50] (good thing i haven't got a job anymore).

I am enjoying this thread immensely. I don't know who's trolling who and at this point I'm afraid to ask. If I may offer my opinion... more pictures please! [emoji57] I just like looking at the pictures. [emoji16]

I also thought Dan had lost his mind... The surface rust isn't bad, but i'd be keeping an eye on it, just in cases. ^^^^Every single GTR owner ever. ?

100%. Sleeper wagons are my favourite of all cars. Super excited to see what you can achieve.
