We are now only a few weeks away. Thought id show you some pics of how its progressed.

Good work Adam :(

Thats been a very long time coming. Its looking shit hot mate. Slow projects are almost more rewarding in a way.

You taking it to QLD or leaving it here?

Oh... and someone told me yours looked like it had more ricer style than mine...

And silly i am for not believing him haha :)

Defanitly not taking it to QLD. Staying in Melbs!

A little bit of rice is ok, as long as its practical rice. I bet the person who told you that probley has a bit of rice as well. In fact their car is probley white making it look more like rice than mine.

Very nice. Interesting to see how the turbo setup goes on teh Rb26..very, very interested :blush:

LOL..what suspension and brakes? I know its your drift car, but please, please, please track it as well and get one up for the the brotherhood :domokun:

You know its a 25 yeah. Its making 8psi at 2000 and full boost at 3500. Said to be one of the most responsive cars race pace has tuned. Everything seems to be working really well together.

Bris it will DEFINATLY be tracked more than its drifted. Brakes at this stage are GTR DBA sloted rotors and caliper adapters with SBS carbon ceramic pads. I wanted to go bigger but been told that its not nessary at this point. Suspension at this point is Fulcrum bushes all round with cusco arms and Tien HE shocks. Thinking of getting billstein to make me up some shocks at a later point.

Next DECA is the plan as long as there is no probs with driving in Chris's car as well.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
