Well,the time had come ladies & gents,for the next part of the puzzle that is my GT-R to occur. As you can see,the day before was all quiet and serene...

But then,the hired help arrived!

Organised months earlier,the car went from this:

To this...

So,we got to the point where...

And,VOILA! The reliable,and in no-need-of-removal-really RB26DETT was out!

So,I must extend a huge thankyou to Jester,BulletR32,Frink,Bluprint,Scooby and Jimmy(forum name,Jeremy?)for putting in the hard yards. Seriously,without the enthusiasm,and sometime delirium,these guys showed up with,I'd be Wallaby Ted's cousin(Roo...)!

Thankfully,everything went really smoothly,and I've already removed the stock turbos now the engine is on the stand(waaaaay easier than attempting it on the car!).

So,if anyone would like to suggest a good,clean,no-numbers firearm so I can hold up a bank to get the funds required for the rest of the build...

As you can see,I'm just wrapped...

(Luke;you didn't get my 'good' side,LMAO!

Lessons learnt? Wheel trolleys are a GOOD thing. Have a suitable socket for the B.F.O. axle nuts. Have some engine stand bolts ready if your new stand doesn't come with them. Coffee,CocaCola and Beagles around food are a catalyst for trouble. Jerra' Pub looks WEIRD in the daylight.

And,most importantly,good friends are invaluable,not just for their efforts on one day!

Jayce.

Love all the safety gear your pit crew is into - reebok runners and such......lol

So what are you looking for, a good 180B motor to update with?

PS Glad its not my bank a/c your gunna use.

You Have Beagles?

Oh,OK;if I must...

I <3 Beagles.

I miss my old set (left them with the ex-girlfriend :laugh: )

No need for the thanks Jayce!

Its just what we do!

Now we can add an R32 GTR to our long list of engine removals/conversions...

Conversions include:

1. R31 - RB25DET engine and gearbox(R33)

2. R31 - RB25DET NEO engine (R34) and gearbox (R33)

3. R33 GTS4 - RB26DETT (R32)

4. R32GTST - RB25DET and gearbox (R33)

5. R31 - RB20DET and gearbox (R32)

Removals / Replacements include:

1. Multiple R31 RB30E and gearbox swaps

2. R33GTST - RB25DET swap

AND last but not least - R32 GTR RB26DETT removal.

You could say that we have SOME experience with tinkering with Skylines :P

    • It's actually really good advice. And I do try to do it. I actually have 2x 3KG dumbbells that sit right beside where I sit. And I look at them a lot. Use them a little. But I'm trying to do more with it. At the moment I'm going through a heap of weight loss too which will help. I cracked into the 85kg mark this week. My weight used to have me sit consistently between 93 to 95KG! That definitely doesn't help. I've also got POTS, which flared up after I got slapped with COVID a few weeks back, and POTS really smashes fatigue and stuff into you, and has a thing even called "excercise fatigue". Basically even the minorest "excercise" (walking from the garage to the house) causes fatigue! And one of the treatments (Other than a med I'm on) is also... Excercise... Ha ha ha So it's why I'm trying to play the game of "might as well" and trying to push through things. For ADHD specifically, the general recommendation is "excercise". When you dig deep into it though, while any excercise is good, the best type is "explosive" excercise. So training for a sport like squash, tennis, even soccer. Things where you need to get the whole body able to "explode" into a different direction change. They've found with explosive sports, (I can't think of the proper term they have for it) that it actually makes the brain grow and become bigger in specific areas. The areas where ADHD causes those parts of the brain to be smaller than normal! But definitely, trying to push myself, and break those bounds mate, and get healthier!
    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
