Update -

Well the engine is in - Finally

We had to do some funky stuff with the plenum / intake - the runners were too long for the S12 (This FJ must have come from a DR - so I still have some Skyline left in me)

So we chopped an inch of the runners and welded back -

Now the throttle body faces the wrong way for the cooler piping so - chopped the end of the plenum and customized it a bit.

Big Front Mount is fitted

New GTIR Radiator with Twin Thermos

Battery Relocated to boot

Nearly ready to start

1 Week away I reckon - the Pig will be on the road !

Why do my projects always take so long ! ??????

It's my usual MO Baron - Buy a car - spend heaps on it - sell it cause I have moved on - over it.

I call it B-Man's charity to the car enthusiast's market......

The Gaz is gonna rip !

yeah I should know that by now. Can you build up a nice GTR or RX7 for me. Cause right now I feel like I'm half way through a b-man myself. got lots of shit here for my GTR but no real enthusiasm to go with it at the moment. :banana: what the hell is the matter with me?!

Sale = something that is to be sold. when one person wants to sell an item, they put it up "for sale"

it then eventually becomed SOLD which is a pastence for sale or sell.

sarcasm works better if you know how to spell

just saying

I don't think that was GTST posting. It was his diseducated twin.

And bman, the only way your kicking our arses is if you let 2rismo drive it. It doesn't count if you sell it before you race it.

Am I the only one that 2rismo hasn't beaten in their own car?

You watch - 2rismo will sell his car just after he finishes it - The best of us do that you know.

The S12 will be a ball tearer - much more fun than the Cosmo.

Might be faster than the V8 too :P

What? Spend $35,000 on an engine, aftermarket parts, and tuning.... all in preparation for trackwork, and then sell the car a month later???

Who the hell would do something like that???? :domokun:

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
