Wow! No wonder a guys head nearly twisted off his shoulders as he over took me trying to work out what the hell I was driving, no good looking at the front of the car mate there's no Volvo badge there...

haha rofl, thats sooo true, people are dumb founded when they look at mine and hear this rumble and wonder what the f**k is that. took it to the local gearbox shop and he says "thats a bloody loud volvo" haha, i told him it aint a volvo and he is like "u r wasting your time with exhuast and stuff thats y its so loud", i didnt mention it was a gtr engine and that so he thinks its a volvo 4 banger with a muffler.

bloody old bugger ;)

id love to take it back to him when its properly tuned and take him for a run in it and show him his vz ss ute is pretty slow :D

most of the stageas that have been imported are still sitting in car yards around the country. The majority are in QLD from what the compliancers have told me.

Mine looked worse after 9hours of night driving up from Brissie to Rocky!

Might be the mountain air, I always copped a lot of bugs running up and down where Hugh lives, esp coming down or going up the goat track :D

I know it is a sacrilige. My Stagea does not have a double unicorn on her grille. She is suffering an identity crisis, hence the slanted black and chrome.

I am worried that if she hears about the latest Audi RS 4 she might end up with four silver rings on her grille also.

The mind boggles.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Thats the current state of the reo. Bit ew, but GTR Reo and supporting bars are $2000, and 2nd hand GTT ones are $1000... More engine disassembly. The good news is   Various LS weird sounds are apparently normal Everything coming out is in perfect condition The bad news is: Everything coming out is in perfect condition It looks like whoever assembled this engine ~25,000km ago was telling the truth with what's in it and how they did it. Even things I was unsure of like the timing chain - But it's a brand new double row timing chain, spaced perfectly. They even cut up the stock windage tray to keep it instead of being lazy and to work with the baffle. Cam, Heads, springs, LS7 lifters, Pushrods - All look new and have obviously been working perfectly. In other news, we removed the pineapples that were loaded below the superpro subframe bushes. They look a fair bit munted and have deformed the poly bushes that are 'above' them. I'm telling myself that now that there's space 'under' the bush between the little cup that bolts in... that having a pineapple wedged there was bad and basically made the rear end solid. The pineapple and the superpro bush are ... equally deformed (i.e they have deformed one another from being smashed together). We'll see how it goes with bushes only. I am sure this cope will fail and the answer will be to drop the subframe and put nismo rubber bushes in there instead. $400 worth of gaskets and ARP head bolts to replace perfectly new looking gaskets that absolutely weren't leaking  and were installed perfectly with great care - because god damnit.

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      Why bother? Keep them under 1bar and be happy, I had it for 10 years and never had an issue. once you go beyond that the budget blows out fast and then keeps on blowing out

      I'd still recommend rebuilding the turbos too. That will eat up a lot of the budget especially if you aren't willing to put in the labor to R&R the turbos yourself but it's a huge risk to ignore it at this point.

      Yep, agree with all of the above added on too. I just love the age old "what boost were you running?" Question without getting any other surrounding data. IE, may have ran 20psi, and lived for 12 years, but it was an 80 year old granma driving it to Bingo once a week and never took it over 2500rpm.
