Yeah i agree, have seen plenty leak but admittely a while ago. They've got the proper baffled one on the wastegate pipe so not sure why they wouldn't use baffled version for both...?

Frighteningly so!

Progress has been slow (because to be any other way after 10 years of dawdling would just upset people....). I have an new found understanding of why Nissan are lazy as fu(% when it comes to applying seam sealer. Because it's a cu^# of a job! God I hate applying sealant. It's just a shit of a job! I use way too much and end up with it everywhere! I resealed our shower once and I had silicone all over me and everything within 5 metres of the shower. Resealed my caravan door, same deal, silicone on my face, my legs, everywhere..... Not my forte... Anyway, the extra effort of masking definitely makes life a little easier and less messy. Seems like such a waste of time to spend 4 hours masking fiddly little shit and bends, apply the sealant and rip it straight off again... Didn't worry about masking for the non visible areas. I'm anal but nowhere near anal enough for that to seem worthwhile! Still needs some gentle sanding down but should look relatively neater once painted over. Certainly a lot neater than the disgraceful effort from the factory, that's for sure! Once the sealant is done I'm still determined to skim fill the spot weld holes on the towers and any of the visible areas just to give it that extra smooth look. Hopefully pays off in the end....

They give you zero instructions either so you just have to work it out for yourself. The tube is about as thick as a Coke can so try as I might, I could not TIG it without blowing holes in it. Straight in the bin and made my own.

By the way, I found the PRP turbo drain to be useless. The material is way to thin to weld. I made my own out of 19mm stainless and associated fittings. Check my build to see what I did if you wanted ideas.

Nice! Some sexy bits there!

Ooooo damn, that's a tricky place to fix.... The section that the K-Frame is bolted to is a VERY structurally integral part of the car. It's a massive job to strip all of that apart to get to that panel. Dozens of spot weld to drill out to remove all of the panels. The other thing to consider is if there is that much rust there, most likely there is a lot of rust elsewhere too..... If/when you get a quote, IT WILL NOT be the final amount as once they start drilling out spot welds more and more nastyness will be revelled. Prepare yourself for that. Good luck, I hope you can bring her back from the brink.

You're showing your age! Surely one photo is enough to justify a $125K spend? People are paying $250K for one photo (ie NFT's) so $125K is a bargain! All jokes aside, I agree 100% if you're selling something worth $25K let alone $125K you put in a whole lot more effort than that....

As a general rule I don't rate TE's but in a 19 and that particular version they look sexy AF! Good luck selling them!

Haven't done much the last month with my busted foot plus 3 trips to Queensland this month taking up all my time. Finally got around to getting a coat of epoxy on the new panel I welded in. Also moved the hoist arms and painted the area that they were blocking when I did the first batch of painting. Sandblasted and expoxied the door hinges too while I was at it. Need to build up the motivation again as the last month has been a bit detrimental to it....

Nah this guy is a home garage warrior but he does a good job. It is for a race car so a bit more forgiveness for cutting huge holes in the floor of a GT-R... This is the first episode of the airjacks going in -

Would have been an awesome comparison to see how it went throwing on the 1.45 turbine housing. Presumably that would have given you more top end but obviously at the expense of a bit of response. When you say falling over in the top end, at what power was that?

I had one, terrible car! The CVT felt like it was operated by the loosest rubber band ever made….

There’s a guy on YouTube who welded a set of air jacks into an R32 GTR. Now THAT is ballin’!

She's coming along nicely! Gee that engine bay looks grubby!! 😁

Stunning! The light leather looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Pics of Z32 please. My next JDM addiction I think.....

We clearly differ greatly on this matter. In my opinion the diff is a perfectly good location to jack from as is the front crossmember. At the end of the day each to their own and for me my car will NEVER get jacked by the sills.

I'll never jack from my sills be that at the jacking point or not. The diff from the back or the subframe from the front. I lift my car on the hoist from the chassis rails which I'm comfortable with as the hoist pads span across the whole width of the rail meaning the force travels through the vertical sections of the rails. My chassis rails are dented from previous owners and their mechanics using smaller jack/hoist pads however.... I use the subframe at the back same as the person in the picture is pointing to (not my finger....) - I'm contemplating making a steel jacking point that uses the existing threaded holes in the chassis and the rear subframe mounting point something like this- There is a step in it which complicates it a bit but would make me feel a little safer if I ever took my car to a tyre fitter or something.

I'm a bit up in the air on this topic at the moment too. I'm running RB30 so only a very limited number of tower bars would fit over the top. I LOVE the Mines or Nismo Titanium strut braces but at $2200-$2500 it's a huge amount of money to fork out if you're not going to track your car (hard). I think I've convinced myself to go V-Cam before I blow $2500 on something that gives me basically zero benefit. Knowing me I'll probably do both.....

Well that's exciting news! Can't wait to finally test mine out at some point! Do you have a dyno chart? Love to see her curves. 😍

Yes a sad little man with deep seated acceptance issues.

TommyFYeah is a flop which is a shame. I love his content but hate how much of a wanker he is. He deserves a smack in the mouth the way he treats people. He rags on anyone that doesn't do things the way he thinks they should. I fast forward the videos where he's just waffling shit about how much cool shit he owns (which turns out is from someone else's money but that's another story) and how awesome he is. Kalvin Malli on YouTube is a legend. Massive job ahead of him but keeps on plugging!

Cheers mate, I’ve flicked them an email to try my luck! Thanks for the tip!
