The plenum and throttle bodies will cost 500ish bucks or more? Then 750 to 1000 for the adaptor plate...which leaks half the time. Then you need an after market computer to run the different air intake sensors and tune wirth the itbs. The covers will probably cost another 500 ish bucks. The bonus is you will actually lose response due to the shorter runners on the plenum!!!!

Might as well buy a 26 instead. Surely there are cheaper ways to troll your mates.

thinking of buying some rb26 covers to put on the 25 and a plenum ideas thougths covers for sale...... ants?

I have an RB26 front cover which is black wrinkled coated. For the engine covers try the 4 sale section on SAU or import monster. Wrinkle finish is the way to go BTW.

Did you go for clear on yours?

yes that could probably help or most likely do the reverse and cause you endless grief

Look if someone can find me a bomb of a 33gtr.... Let's say for 15 and ill just rebuild it and get a daily

Possibly in like 5 years

Oh yeah totally forgot that you went with a whole new engine as opposed to rebuild. Did your old engine die or did you get to sell it?

nope engine was still in good nick and was able to sell it.

They are endless money pits IMO. Even after I get the car back there is still suspension to do, rear brakes, new paint job ahhhhhhh fcuk it its all too much!

Every car that you modify is an endless money pit, I have a mate who has spent more on his fourby than all of my cars combined!

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
