Bit Of History Of My Project (56k Make A Coffee)

[Matty 31]

Lil bit of a thread bout the car........what ive been thru since the 14th april 2004

Bought 14th April 2004 as a dual fuel RB30e dead stocker (with exception of mags, spoiler and colour coding)

295,000 km, no stereo, $2000

Replaced things that were dodgy (fuel pump, tyres, head unit) and stayed happy

Wanted an exhaust done, so got a 2.25" cat back system done by a mate. Sounded phat as

Then xmas of 04 came round, and so did a white racing sticker.........lpg tank had never had a 10 year test done

A trip to regency and the car copped more of an arse reaming than ever, so had to spend a few bucks getting it to legal

While on defect, i got the opportunity to pick up a nics RB20DET cheap, with a 25 turbo already on it.

Had that fitted in march 2005, which was a bit of a botch job

the workshop thought a radiator hose would be good for a temporary cooler pipe >

got the small things fixed, had a play with it..........bought an autospoiler for 100 bucks complete with motors and a set of watanabe rs8s........got the beast lookin more jap spec

then december came round, and a lil squirt out to mannum resulted in a very dead redtop

pulled that out over xmas / new years 05/06 and replaced with a silvertop we built out of pieces (bought a block complete with head for 300 bucks, then bought other bits and pieces to fit)

got the silvertop in, then the S3 auto box decided to slip like a bitch, so i sourced an R32 GTSt box with 75k history. Slotted that in, then 2 days later the silvertop went bang. Mix and match of series 2 and series 1 r32 parts didnt help it.

Went to Boost Worx for a new silvertop to be transplanted. Shawn did a top job, binned the 25 turbo i had cos the main seal was rooted and wasnt worth repairing. (only worked out yesterday that its comin up for near on 12 months since this motor went in)

got a good thrashing at the skyline nationals in shepparton last year

some shots during and after small car sunday 06

day of pete's (66 Skyline GT) wedding

then there was fun had at a remote location which has left me with no power steering........3 months and counting ben..............i havent forgotten lol

more recently the mods hav started

no autospoiler, but cooler instead

yes the car does need a respray badly i know

also got my latest addition thanks to luke (ORGZMC)

Still gotta chuck in my fuel pump and do all the suspension............bushes came in today, springs are due this week hopefully, then i can chuck it all in with some help from the boys and the missus (yes this car DOES pull chicks ). definitely will be cleaning rims up and getting powdercoating happening cos they get dirty very easy.

and the final whoring of the thread with pics.........from sat nite with a few mates

im gettin happier that things are gettin there slowly. Sorry for such a long winded and non-56k friendly thread.........we should almost hav a members cars thread for SA i reckon, do a bit of a spiel and a few piccies of everyones cars thats member only accessible
