whizzn

Being that you live in Midland, go get yourself a roadtrain licence and you'll get a job like mine tomorrow Now seriously guys i was kinda hoping this could of been an informative thread but i guess i was hoping for too much

Probably does mate but some people work away from home and don't get a lot of access to internet to sit down and search for hours on end

Hey guys Just starting to buy the parts needed to build a new motor for the GTR and wanted to get some feedback and recommendations on which parts i should be buying I'll be keeping the motor twin turbo, i have just bought a HKS twin 3037 hi mount kit for the build and about to buy a TRUST drag intercooler to feed the air into so that sides taken care of I'm still trying to decide which stroker kit to go for, Nitto and Brian Crower kits come to mind, just not sure which ones best and have no idea on reliability on these kits Headwise i'm at a loss, love to find a full spec JUN head lying around somewhere but i don't think that's going to happen so need some feedback on which cams etc you think would best suit the turbo's etc Intake manifold i'm thinking of using the Greddy unit then makes it easy to buy the piping as you can get the kit from TRUST to match the cooler to manifold What are the SARD fuel rails like? Stupid question really but one i need answering and which injectors fit into these etc as i've heard there's 2 types and there not interchangable Pretty much guys i'm giving you clean slate to post your ideas on what would make a strong RB26 Looking forward to getting some feedback on this

OK i found the turbo kit, although it is 2nd hand and not brand new which i thought it was, it's still a good setup being rebuilt around 5000km ago So now have a Twin HKS 3037 Hi Mount kit on the way to me

Saw somewhere last week whilst flicking over net the HKS Racing 3071 twin top mount kit Now trying to find it again The wheels are 18x10 with 265 tyres, can't remember offset off top of head Just couple more pics now i'm home again Front and rear strut bars, wasn't climbing underneath car to get photo of one underneath though lol Rest of the covers arrived this week, the centre cover is ever so slight different colour but you REALLY need to be looking at them to see it Now to go find that damn turbo kit

Still waiting for the front & centre covers from RHD, 3 weeks and waiting Don't think i will fit them to this motor though, think they can sit in room until i build new motor, that way everything will look brand new when motor goes in

Just quick photo of how it looks now with all suspension in place Absolutely love the way it handles now Ohh and had windows tinted while back also, definately an improvement in not just looks but cabin temps also

I have spare set of GTR seats if you want them mate

All suspension now fitted, didn't need to fit the Whiteline rear frame bushes as someone in Japan fitted solid mount items in there already so left them in there Coilovers set in softest position at moment and feels stiff but not too excessive so still rides relatively nicely, going to wind fronts up a little though as wheels do scrape on plastic inner fender on some bumps so i think a little stiffen up will solve this Car site ridiculously flat around corners now with no body roll at all, can't wait to get it to track to test it's limits though Looks like i might of scored a set of HKS GT RS turbo's with not even 4k km's on them for sweet price, looking at them next week No photo's as car is dirty at moment due to sitting in workshop and getting wet on way home lmao Post some up when i get home in couple days

Mount the aerial behind the grill between headlights somewhere, you don't need to see it for it to work

Waxy's is good as mentioned for Sunday arvo beers, some great talent goes there too BTW

You are still alive lol No worries mate, will bring them into work with me on Saturday

Looking good buddy, i was just thinking you may be able to use a Dremel tool to clean up the paint lines around the Nismo badge (i'm pedantic though)

No updates as of yet, my parts guy has gone MIA on me so trying to figure out things without his input (especially since he has the FAST program that would be real handy at moment) Taking front suspension to a powder coater tomorrow and ringing another workshop since Elite has closed down to get car booked in for fitting the suspension and fixing the snapped gearbox cross member bolt Hopefully will have more specific updates in next week

Just tried to ring Daniel from Elite Racing Developments and got message bank saying he is no longer accepting work and officially closing down end of Febuary due to health reasons Dan if you read this hope everything is ok buddy, definately going to miss you guys Now where am i going to take car?

Starting to think i should get you to just double up on everything as a LOT of stuff you're getting is what i'm looking at lol

PM me the prices on those brakes please

Finally, the bushes have all arrived and i now have everything needed to fit new suspension into car Going to pull the rest of the spare front strut assembly apart this week and send to powdercoaters then take into somewhere to get all the bushes etc pressed into place, bring home and bolt back together on bench then take these along with car to somewhere to have fitted (dunno where yet, anyone have any recommendations here in Bris?)

I would of sent them to ceramic coaters before putting back together personally but good job non the less

I love RHD now, bought few things from there recently and will be getting lot more as time goes on

Going to wait until i get all the suspension in to see how low it sits in the front to make sure i have enough clearance. After what Chris said in earlier post he got me thinking hence decision to postpone the purchase for bit

N1 lights will look good in your car, i love them they made huge difference in overall look of mine How much did you get the Dremel for? Looking at buying one of these at moment as well for pretty much same reason you bought it for

Love the custom colour, really suits it Set of N1 headlights in that would look good Just don't be tempted to turn the boost up on that turbo with stock motor, i leaned my old R out years ago with standard turbos and popped an engine, could just imagine what damage that beast could do

PRECISELY Welcome to owning a GTR Have a hunt around for a Brembo package for simplicity or if you have look in Group Buy section at moment there in final stages of the D2 6 and 4 pot brake upgrade packages

Some more parts ordered today, my first BLING parts for engine bay Going to see if i can get powdercoaters to match the NUR Spec gold for the Brembo's when they get here also
