please do :-) what did you replace your pods with? and what else are you doing?

i just like the fact that the possiblity is there to be more environmentally friendly then a prius and run 10's. :-)

Yeah thats what i was alluding too. i'm a little worried about the responsiveness of my -5 set-up. i'm going to see how it all go's first, then if i'm not happy - i'll either vct the head or -9's. E85 will probarly come now anyway - i basically only need a surge tank :-). IMHO -9's and E85 would be by far the easiest to do rather then going vct to get a responsive 400kw set=up

Don't go with the tomei kits...it's in general agreement that their a laggy hunk of crap. I've gone with twin 2860-5 for my 400kw goal, but if i was buying the turbos now, i'd probarly look at twin GTX2863's OR possibly twin 2860-9 with E85.... ...and vipec/haltech ecu for sure.

That GTR just looks sweet!!!

Hey guys, My engine started playing up at the end of last year after some tune and spark issues. Compression was showing that each cylinder was still making reasonably healthy compression, but there was some variation (20psi diff between highest/lowest). So I decided to use this as an excess for a forged rebuild and to fix a few other problems with the car. However, as I don’t have the time or the knowledge I decided to look a reputable builder. Luckily, Paul (of Red R Racing fame) is a Newcastle local and after a month of two of trying, finally got hold of him for a chat. Although his reputation preceded him, I was utterly impressed with his knowledge, build history and passion for RB’s. I knew straight away I’d come to the right person. After a talk with Paul – here’s what I pencilled down for the build Stock block – dipped, prepped, grouted and machined Red R racing 8.5L baffled sump Nitto/JE 86.5mm pistons ACL race series bearings Stock crank, grub screwed and balanced Stock rods, tested, prepped and balanced ARP rod bolts N1 water pump Nitto oil pump Full nitto gasket kit Ross 1500hp balancer New Nissan head/intake/exhaust studs Red R racing modified CAS sensor Red R racing oil catch can/washer bottle combo Adjustable cam gears Gates timing belt kit Tomei 260/9.15 type poncams Tomei type B valve springs, retainers & valve sleeves Yellow jacket coilpacks (I have a spare set of splitfires on standby) Twin 2860-5’s mines triple flow cam baffles r34 n1 exhaust manifold r34 vspec dumps some sort of exhaust some sort of clutch some sort of legal intake system In addition to that, the car was already equipped with a twin entry ARC 4” I/C and nismo oil cooler The set-up listed is pretty well proven and with Paul’s expertise, I hope to maximise the -5 potential. However, I’m not really targeting a power figure (it would be nice to crack 400awkw to join the club lol), just a very reliable built engine that will pass engineering with minor adjustments. I also bought the car with a few known problems (it was an impulse bought cheapie, but predominantly suited for what I was after), so while it’s off the road, I’ll be getting these fixed/changed 4wd – car has been runing in rwd, which made driving in the wet interesting. The transfer clutch plates or atessa is the suspected problem here Spigot bearing grinding when clutch is disengaged Clutch slipping slightly in 1st when cold Rusted rear diffuser brackets. Crappy vacuum line setup and some funny wiring in the engine bay. A few hoses/joiners showing there age. The rims are held on by an M36 bolt, and basically need a rattle gun to take off. Here’s some photos of the car Pics & progress to follow soon once mods approve thread. Cheers, Joel

Actually my seats are perfect. Found out the seats have leather covers (which are worn to shit) :-)

Mimes heading towards 50,000kms on the odo. Who knows what the chasis is heading towards lol

bwahahaha LMAO

It would need to go into a car cacoon or zero oxygen & mositure atmosphere. Otherwise it will just rot and rust. As to what it will be worth - look at the early 70's XY fords. The GTHO & GT are worth alot, as for the base models - although they have increased in price over there original value, not enough to really make the effort worthwhile.

nah the nur cam cover is EYO (silica breath) JWO the (body) paint code for mellinium jade

SKIDZ?

lol - it was regarding Ant's pods... I had a question about them ...then i thought...I have 3 different intake boxes and a set of pods in my garage, I don't really need another intake lol.

thanks iwantagtr, i was after that code. never heard of a gtr having blue covers stock. EDIT: and post up a before and after photo :-)

r34gt rvspec full comp with just car ~$2100, $2000excess -24yrs old (now 25, but insured before my bday). no accident/theft/claim history it was ~$2300 last year when i was 23. this was for forster/newcaste, so 3k sounds about right for parra.

EDIT - NEVER MIND.

oh no!!! not ZERO cuddling!!

yes it's very annoying!!! theres been a build posted after mine was psoted thats been approved

mine! - pm sent

How long did it take for your build thread to show up matt?

i just read somewhere that a couple of nur's (~5) were produced in midnight purple 3. Can anyone confirm this?

And I believe 300 were made of each - but numbers varied between specs (base Gtr, mspec vspec etc)

I thought mp2 was series 1 r34gtr (vspec1 era) and mp3 was series 2 (vspec2 era)

Depends if you had a series 1 or series 2 r33gtst. Series 1 can, series 2 can't.

Well i've started a build thread. Just waiting for approval. I've written out the first half dozen or so up-dates too, so it might look like the first the fastest engine build in history.
