Nissan a r382 race car from the late 60s :)

Tough bit of kit: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_R382

they turbo'd them the next year for 900hp, but didn't race that one much due to the series folding.

Ants, the loaded accountant! Although, 1100 a week after tax isn't really a lot. :/

like I said before for over half my career I was on lots less than that and managed fine. It's also the right around the average wage. That said I don't spend a whole lot on booze or going out ect which can mount up real fast.

Wish I was loaded.......but I'm not. Before I had a mortgage and more importantly a family of my own I was like you Bunta and pretty much laughing all the way to the bank. And that was on almost half the income I am earning today. Now we are on a tighter budget but confortable but only just. Gone are the days were you could just live on one income stream when raising a young family.

Anyways enough of that. I left my wallet at Bunnings (again) and just managed to get it back! I can't be that intelligent to do this three times now!

Once Anna gets a job we will be laughing all the way to the bank. As of now is just comfortable. I am lucky in that at the end of the day I don't need to worry too much about the future so thats good.

Stop leaving your wallet ya silly bugger!

Back when i was a kid, my mum left her purse on the roof of the car on the way to a place on the other side of town. It managed to stay on the roof all the way through town (must have looked a sight!) only to fall off out the other side where the road got up to 100k's. luckily someone who lived there found it and gave it back (minus cash though... but to be fair kids could have found it and stripped it before they did). Certainly wouldn't get that in the city.

Good morning Luke.

$250 to save up for things? That's just if things were to remain the same...... you know thats not going to happen man. But trust me when i say this, when you have a family and own a GTR, EVERYTHING changes and is MUCH more expensive and $1150 will soon feel like $150!

So there you go........now when are we gonna see some baby Luke's :P

250 more then I have at the moment.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
