This escalated quickly

Dem covers!

Loved this GTR the minute I laid eyes on it. Keep up the good work!

Looks excellent! However, couldn't you have rotated the housing to avoid having that elbow?

Hey lads, thought it was about time for an introduction. Has been several years now since owning a skyline, I'm sure anyone that's sold one off can relate...I miss it a lot, which I guess is why I still use these forums (more so than Nav forums haha) Name: Shaun Born: 1988 Location: Perth/Goldfields Work: Sales Manager/OHS Industry: Resources I drive a: 2008 Nissan Navara ST-X Outlaw Music: EDM, Hip Hop. Anything really. Hobbies: Working out, shooting, motocross, chasing the moist, travelling, festivals. Next car: BNR34 V-Spec ii in the next 6 months if all goes well.

Looks too good to take out on the street now Top work!

Oh my apologies. Good to see your recovering/recovered! All the best with your GTR.

Your scaring me

The 24's on my Nav are white and have been for three weeks (powdercoated)....I just ordered black plastidip as I am already over how filthy they get in one day!

The finish itself looks good. I think the only flaws are the colour (too light) and the stretched areas.

Weld the adapter underneath the intercooler pipe next to the intake, weld nipple to side of intake bend. Attach BOV to IC piping, run return to the nipple on intake pipe. Any metal/fab shop could complete the welding for a carton.

Just take the plastic piece out from the vent on the SSQV. Will be much quieter and not make that high pitched whistle. I also couldn't stand the SSQV sound. This worked. Try it.

That was a small part of the problem. The problem in general is a combination of about 5 different factors, mineral price, AUD, salaries, budgets etc. These companies are by no means broke. They simply are too afraid to make any big changes atm with the market so unstable which has confused/concerned a lot of people. Once some companies get back to "normal" and start throwing cash around on projects/maintenance, the rest will follow. I see this everyday as I live in the Goldfields and I quote projects/tenders. This happens almost yearly however, you don't hear about it until hundreds of people start getting made redundant. My predictions are the start of December things will start to improve dramatically within the mining game. Lots of little mines around the Goldfields have closed over the last few months simply because of the gold price/AUD vs what it costs them to produce an ounce. The margins were too small. These were the mines that "were" making a killing 18 months ago. I wouldn't personally be making a move interstate at this current time. If I was to move from East to West it would have to be for some serious $$$ and some serious certainty. As someone said above, WA has been smashed by every inexperienced bloke that has a qualification in something (foreign and domestic). I get guys calling me almost daily looking for work who can barely speak English or can not pass a drug test! I got offered a job 2 months ago to move from Kalgoorlie to Perth and be on slightly more money still including a company vehicle but I turned it down. It's just not the right time to be making such moves is all Go do an apprenticeship locally then move once your a tradesman. If I could go back I would have done a sparkie app. for sure! Instead I'm OHS

Car looks dope! That front bar though......haha.

Can you arrange for 2 x Cans of Black plasti-dip to be sent to WA? Shiz is so hard to get over here! Noone knows what it is, lots of companies wont ship to WA etc. Its ridiculous. I want to do the grill and side mirror covers of my D40 Navara PM me if this might be something of interest.

Disgusting!

I had to make something similiar just to get a jack under my 33.... Was a PITA but they did the job and worked well.

Truck drivers who are so ignorant they dont stop at stop signs and decide to cut me off while im doing 80kph. And then has the courage to hang his bogan arm out the window and hound me for his mistake. Not much needs to be said other than complete douchebag!

so the people that stole it put vinyl's on it and are still driving it?

interesting thread, never really had a proper look in here.

just turbo the motor yourself, buy all the turbo gear and install it with a mate. skyline turbo bits are cheap as chips.

good read. very factful info too.

wow, had no idea you were into skylines dude. seen you up here in kal few years back at fungi's place, you got some pretty sweet skills on the bike. Use to ride there every now and then with him when he was on the crf. Well done on the GTR, by far the cleanest 33 gtr ive seen in a long time.
