Yeah I caught the very end of this last night. I hate that too... I finally find something I wanna watch (after flicking endlessly for 29 mins) and it finishes about 1 min after I start watching it! :nyaanyaa:

lol that can be helpful sometimes too ..

spotted some car show on foxtel tonight when i was on a smoko at work...

What the hell?? Boyd Coddington sucks! everythings so rushed, 2 days to prep and paint a car!!

He fires anyone for looking at him wrong and he's got no one to work for him.

Chip Foose all the way!

Heres the R32 GTR they did, doesn't look too bad for an American effort, nice rims, just needs to lose the decals.

For some reason the first thing i noticed is it didn't have the front diffuser lip. I reckon all 32 GTR's should have that. Don't even ask why i'm picky about that but for some reason they add a touch of more toughness about them then IMO.

chip foose is good but he builds for a different level.

boyd coddington is an excellent builder of rods, there is no denying that.

although because he is now so well known and publicised for building quality rods the demand for his work is now much greater, and tell me honestly, would you not build them quicker for the amount of money he makes?

The XS Engineering R32 Skyline GTR was built from the ground up to serve as an on-going showcase for our tuning abilities. This vehicle is a prime example of our innovation, technical expertise, and workmanship. Originally created during the Street Tuner television series, this R32 has been and will continue to be refined on a day to day basis. Recently, we have used it to claim both the AWD and Overall Championships at the Modified Magazine/Redline Time Attack in Fontana, California.

Horsepower: 851.0 whp @ 2.0kg/cm^2 (28.4psi) of boost

and before it all took shape

also. no doubt all those decals on that car are there because most of the parts they would have used were probably supplied by sponsors with the agreement their company name is to be displayed to MILLTIONS OF VIEWERS on national tv.

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
