Hi peeps,

Though I'd just say hello,

I just bought my dream car, an R32 GTR and obviously am super happy. The engine is about a week from being finished with forged pistons, new Turbo's etc etc etc.

Just sent off my SUA QLD application form and am looking forward to plenty of fun experiences with you guys (and gals)

Bye for now........

Cheers

Tom Mac

They say you should NEVER photograph cars on grass.

Not sure about that, but I am sure I would like to own your great lookin GTR line! :D

AND you probably paid less for it than I did buying my GTS4! (8 Years ago;-)

The work is getting done at ASR Motorsport on the Gold Coast where I live. He's a guru ( and a freind ) who guarantees his engines. He's built plenty of RB26's that are solid.

I only paid $14000 for it which was a steal considering I nearly bought the first one I saw 3 months ago for $23000 with 170,000Km's.

When I bought it I knew it had a knock and needed a rebuild but I think the price reflected that.

News to date, the block now has a crack in it and my engineer won't gaurantee the motor unless I get another block so I've been desperatly trying to find an RB26 Block with Gurdle but I'm struggling. I searched thru the forums but am waiting on replies to my PM's.

Wish me luck....

Cheers

Tom Mac

    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
