It was a real GTS-R a long, long time ago. The only thing GTS-R left on it is the paint colour and the interior.

It has the build plate and all the other select distinctive parts you wont find on GTS/GTS-X.

That fact the Japs changed the motor out in the 90's is beyond my help. I just changed from 25 to a 26 for legalities sake

So saying mine is less of a GTS-R than yours… its just... a little stupid dont you think?

We all know he took a pintara and welded 2 doors shut :)

I was waiting for the Pintara comment Rossco, you’re a bit slow!

The exhaust was looking good to. Its sad that there are cobwebs on the wheels and brakes. Be good to see it get back out there...though with the EPA i would had hoped you had gone back to RB20. Fancy an R31 GTSR with an RB26 :)

I'd have less of a chance to pass the EPA with the RB20.

If i want the setup/power i want, RB26 is the only way!

As for power wise, see what happens at this stage :)

Sorry Ash. Car envy brings out the bad in me. If i could find a neat and tidy R31 GTSR i would buy it over an R32/33/34 TR anyday. They are hell cool. If it happened to havea n almight RB26 in it then all the better.

Hmmmm colors.....

Definite nomination for photo of the year (even if it has been modified slightly).

Stop taking photos of other people's engines Ash and post your own! Without exterior shots, your photo is about as much proof of a semi-completed car as Bush had of Iraq having WOMD :)

bah that orange was spew and about 10 years ago... I don't care what colour your engine bay is :)

Mine isn't the same as chris's - his is the same colour as my wheels, mine was done already when i got the car 4 years ago.... it's very similar to yours... but being a few years old there are a few chips and stuff on the paint...

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
