:)  :huh:  Holy crap that is awesome!!! Cant wait to see the Dyno sheet and quarter mile time :P

cheers mate all in good time, no comment on when it will be running because i get told i take too long if i go past the expected date :lol:

Very nice!!

Just outta interest .... did you do the polishing or did you get it done somewhere else??

my old man polished it at home in the shed with a bench grinder and buffing wheels and lots of patience haha, heres a pic with all the covers on etc except they are abit dirty and need a rebuff before i put the motor back in the car :blink:

Ahhhh .. l see. By the looks of the pics he's done a very nice job.

Any chance you could get him or if you could type up something on how to do it. I have another car with a shit load of stuff that needs doing, and would love to do it myself and see how it goes before l palm it off to a workshop. Seeing your's has given me a few idea's on more stuff l could polish instead of painting.

Love the fuel rail too BTW!! :mellow:

Cheers,

Cheers,

Have any of you actually spoken to jake32 in person....? I have and I am not condoning or taking anyone's sides, but this is a public forum so everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.

I have to say though that although jake32 might seem like an atagonist, he really is a nice bloke to chat with, I just cant see why everyone is getting so bloody defensive, get over it.

Back on topic................. I need more tissues after looking at that shiny thingy again... :P

Unfortunately for me part of the deal to convince the Minister for finance that the S2 was a good buy after the demise of the Cressida was that, if I bought a fast car I wouldnt spend any extra making it go faster.

I think she knew I was lying..but still, the 3inch cat back and the boost controller and the boost gauge were all free so technically I'm in the clear.

Anyhow the point of all this is that there is probably not much chance of me ever seeing innards of my RB25 let alone a massive T4 snail hanging off the side, so if you could post up more photos inside and out that would be smashing.

I've used up all the tissues, bring me a bucket for the drool.

P.S. And dont forget to get wide angle shots of the crap lying around your shed in the background...I love a good squizz at other peoples sheds.

    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
