its certainly fun to drive! Mine was used for street/drift in Japan before it came over here. Had 9/7kg springs when I first got it! But in that vid it had the 7s (390lb) in the front and 325lb rears. The rear end still hates any hint of a bump! I've now moved the 325lb/in springs to the front and waiting on the 225lb rears to arrive. Should calm it down alot. But I'm more than slightly sceptical about the rear Tein Drift-Spec shocks as well... also have some rear radius/traction arms to fit, and after those changes I might try some pineapples if it still needs more traction. It will get there eventually. It hasn't even had an alignment yet!

Here's another update with my big little engine project. I spent last weekend installing cams, rocker covers and assembling the intake manifold and throttle body setup. The external oil feed for the head is now connected too.

The picture shows a standard RB26 timing belt on the engine which is too short. Ive sourced a suitable length belt from an audi 80 series that solves that problem. Twin tensioners are used to allow the cams to be positioned properly at 0 degree's. My high octane sump extension is being welded on this week and the pair of GTRS's should arrive fairly soon too with any luck, so not long till its finished now.

I will give you 60k for it. Thats the going rate for a pedigree R32 these days isnt it? Yeh, the Weds are lighter then the homo TE37s i have got now....stupid me. I may have to grab back my 17x9 Weds and accept that i will only get to run 235s and not the 255s i hoped to run in the 9.5" TE37s.

I knew you'd pick that Harry. LOL

To be honest, I just can't keep it flat, it needs a little lift to get some transfer onto the front, otherwise big understeer = hello grass maybe wall. lol

I'd imagine though, if I did grow some man-balls, I'd be even faster than you than I already am around there :D lol (just playin mate :D)

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
