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 :)

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...

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
