Will be good and quiet, I'm just concerned flames may still cook the cat on you :S

Hey Brett, For lights in the garage, head to bunnings, they have cheap dual tube 2ft and 4ft fluros, then swapthe tubes over for "daylight" coloured tubes. Grab an extension cord per fluro, cut the female end off, and wire it into the fluro, couple of screws each and full daylight everywhere in the garage. I find it great for getting rid of shadows around work benches etc. In my old garage I had a 4ft single tube smack over the workbench, and another over the engine bay. Was magical!

Walk into RMS, hand the plates in, sell it unregistered. Don't even bother having to pay more to change rego and pay stamp duty bullshit etc. What you pay extra is going to be equal to the drop in price you give selling unregistered. Sign piece of scrap paper stating you sold it to new owner. Have done a few times before.

I think you might find even though gate goes around cat, there's still a lot of exhaust and hence flame going through the cat. You just have to look at the size of the ports on the wastegate, a lot smaller than the main exhaust, yet changing that exhaust to a smaller size really robs power shows that most of the exhaust is still in the main body. For noise, a nice big mid muffler, for smell, well, can't help you there Ha ha. E85? my exhaust I ran on the 25/30 was 3" straight through, TD07S to muffle it down, then it had a 5" inch mid muffler that was 950mm long IIRC, and a 7" rear muffler that was 550mm long IIRC (all custom made). You could hear the actual engine over the exhaust, quiet as shit. It also meant all the turbo noises were super loud and awesome! God I miss the rush as that thing used to come on boost

Not if there's no light on the other side or those lines come out through the bottom of something that covers over the hole...

Even if they are bulkhead fittings, they're not fitted right. See the top one here, if that's a bulk head, that flat ring should be firmly against the bulkhead mating surface. With this there'll be less tension and over time with vibrations it will move, and start to give. It should be a specified diameter circular hole, then they cleanly fit into them.

This guys just trying to be a troll like he always has been his whole time on SAU. f**k, it's been over 9 years since I've even driven the GTST, absolutely zero f**ks given for you having a GTR, but in no way is it "top dog" Maybe as a skyline, and a 90s era performance car, but hell, theres even the R34 and R35 that trump you. dans 100% right, you have a nice car, it will have some nice goods on it if you end up modifying it (though I thought this was staying as a nice streeter rather than crazy power and s15 was crazy power car?) but there are some items that are making this car non mint. surface rust is one, sharpie scribbled underneath is another, not using bulkhead fittings is a third, and that excess cable all looped up and just by the looks of it twist ties in place. just a few small things and we'd all go, damn that is clean as f**k.

Also don't call what you've done OCD clean, that's offensive to those with OCD. That stuff would be spotless if you had true OCD for cleanliness

Show me your fuel system with bulk head fittings (you know, the fittings for going through sheet metal so things are sealed properly) and not rectangles cut out of rusty steel... Oh wait, you can't. PS, I've never claimed any of my cars were mint. You have, we're telling you how they're not mint.

Bahahahaha OMG, how do I like give more likes then is possible for this post! Also, I'm happy to even bring my GFs slow ass POS and run a Drag Race. First one to top out fourth and grab fifth gear driving wins the other person's car.

Also, why are you challenging people to races for safety certificates?

Lol, such a cocky little f**ker thinking his 250kw GTR is all that... Also, you have two photos up showing the undercarriage in different spots both with surface rust. Can't understand how you call that whistle clean. Clean is rust free, not rusty. Bulk head fittings are for putting lines through bulk heads not cutting gaping holes.

I dragged mine out of a paddock and into a workshop the other week... In need of the seal for a R33 petrol tank where the fuel pump lines go in and out of the tank, that horrible seal has dissolved.

Also, clean the Sharpie off the paint, for a car that was meant to be "mint" that's a great way to make it look half arsed. In the pic it really does look like the work experience kid was cutting the rectangle with a grinder. IMO, to keep it mint, fill that cutout back in, and use proper bulk head fittings that you out through a circular hole, that seal against the hole and don't allow dirt/mud/other crap to ingress into the vehicle. Also why didn't they wire in the new cam sensor with a little less cable rather than just looping all that excess up on the hot side of the engine with what looks like a bread twist tie?

The longer you leave surface rust the longer it gets the chance to become deep rust. Get it cleaned up, painted over, and seal the metal from the elements to prevent further rust. It also concerns me, you said this was all rebuilt in 2016, yet there is surface rust in a few pictures underneath it. My POS has less surface rust under it and it sat in a field, on a farm, for the past 2 years, and also went 1.8M under water in a flood during that time, not to mention just sitting around for years. I'm wondering what the rebuild hid or more so, it's life after the rebuild. Crazy salt roads?

I'm happy to sell mine.

I'd defect it. For bad angles... Make it match the Bends in the guard FFS!

Just quoting you so you get a notification for this post, but what issues were you having with warping with the 3d printing? Was it warping while printing or when you took it off? I've had issues with my printer warping, but it all came down to a bit of tuning on the printer and overall print setup. I would not consider 3d printed parts on a traditional 3d printer suitable for "high stress" though. It's amazing how the different plastics deform and fail!

I think you missed some updates. This went from "turbo is sitting on a manifold needing custom parts" to "I thought I blew the head gasket" How?! Ha ha

In the total of 13 years I've only put 5,000 km on mine. Just none in the last 9 years Ha ha

I have a 10KG washer for 2 adults. Never wanting children. Have dog and 2 cats instead. Is freaking awesome when you see the blankets we throw in it also can save a month's worth of washing and do it in one hit

Mine still has only 7X,000 on it. (I think it's 75) Hasn't had a single KM added to it in 9 years

Thinking on it, also check all of your suspension parts, a mount may have let go partly. Seen it in other vehicles.

I'd be definitely starting with the tail shaft and diff. Also go over every single nut and bolt on the car

Mitch is it speed or rpm related? If speed, then have to look gearbox out to wheel. I'd be looking at either diff if welded, or tailshafts. To easiest spots to end up out of wack. Pull the rear cover and inspect if the welds are coming out.
