You'll all get a ride sooner or later :) .... I really don't think it's as exciting as you all make out :D .... and she'll be fairly stock, so it will be no PCOTY in terms of performance!

come on, u are asking about high flow turbo in other thread :crazy:

that GCG will pull 265rwkw! :uh-huh:

Sam - nah she is not sold yet - have had a few bites, but still waiting for the right person to come along.

Chapman - I am still throwing around various ideas at the moment - but I promised Carolyn I wouldn't be spending any money on this car. So I have already broken that promise, but I don't intend to spend much more.

I am, however, worried about the fragile nature of the nylon impeller on the R34 turbo -

hence my thoughts about a GCG rebuild/high flow.

Duc - nah not yet - I have other much more important things to spend money on at this stage. Plus, those roof-mounted things are illegal to use while the car is moving - as it supposedly distracts drivers behind you. If/when I do it, they will be 2 headrest mounted screens. I am hoping to put an all-in-one double din LCD screen/TV/DVD/MP3 player in sooner or later - like this one http://www.brashimports.com.au/CA1605.htm - just have to find the money first. I am hoping to come home from Vegas after some nice winnings and it may fund this and other mods. Fingers crossed.

hahah..

Sounds like a few lines I have thrown my other half.

Here's a few. :)

I need a new motor as this one has done quite a few kays and is 13yrs old, if we want to drive interstate we should really have a reliable new motor. :(

I need a PFC as the tune isn't the best and it will stuff the motor up if we drive interstate, it will also return better fuel economy.

I need injectors as they are maxed out and its dangerous for them to be running like that, the current ones are buggered and new ones that flow better will return better fuel economy for the drive interstate.

I need a bigger turbo as this one is running at its max all the time which is going to have it blow soon, if it blows it may damage the motor and we don't want it blowing while driving interstate.

:D

yeah, unfortunately (money-wise) we are shortly going on a month-long holiday to the USA, so money isn't exactly plentiful. But you get that.

Yes, the bill for getting it on the road is climbing and climbing - but now is the best time to play with wheels/disks, exhaust etc, while it is off the road! It will have quite a few toys, you know I can't help myself! But, it's still gonna be stock *cough* *cough*

Hey guys! I got it through the group buy that GR33dy organised, for $940 delivered. It left japan on friday, got to melbourne on monday, adelaide on monday night, and arrived here yesterday, then i picked it up at lunchtime today :D only problem is i have no car to install it in :D

    • Sorry, that was with regards to the rather pretzeled corner of the reo bar. It's in such a state over the years that drilling a hole is probably preferable to bothering to unbolt the thing 
    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
