Mines been off the road for 2 years and 6 days... and counting :rofl:

I took up heavy binge drinking, dropped the GF and started clubbing again to pass the time... lol.

Should actually be back in the road in *coughs* a month or two... serious... :/

Its Gay hey no car!!! I think everyone here has been with out their cars for a long period of time at one stage or another, I know some that have had there off the road for 3 years or more only to bring it life for a week end die again.

Mate of mine picked up a scratch in the the rear quarter of his R33 GTR when he parked it at work. Decided to get both rear guards resprayed and the bonnet, front bar and front guards to get rid of the scratch and various stone chips.

Quoted $2,500 by the recommended repairer of his insurer.

Paint run in the left rear quarter, lower front bar not sprayed ("it's not the front bar"), front guards not sprayed at all, poor paintwork on the bonnet (because they DIDNT F**KING PREP IT PROPERLY), overspray around the fuel filler, inner trim panels cracked and put back in with double sided tape, excessive mastic sealant around the quarter windows causing poor fit, charged for new side moulding clips and the side mouldings now fit poorly.

FIIIINALLY! Booked into Trojan for Monday... John & Ang already work crazy hours, and all you buggers are taking up his time :) haha so I'm being squeezed in, and not sure how long it'll be (guessing ~10 days give or take). Still waiting on an oil cooler from Slide, should be here in 3-4 days. Everything else is here: GTRS, PFC & EBC, Nismo 740cc's & pump, Blitz FMIC.

Given the recent number of posts about the GTRS turbo and how well suited it is to RB25, I'm very excited :) There's some really nice curved dyno graphs on here... mmm curves...

Plus if it's ready by the 11th, I can go to Wakefield the very next day :D:)

Back on the road! Grinning from ear to ear. Got 256rwkw on a very nice and safe tune, only 16.5 PSI. Using stock airbox too (don't want the extra noise/intake heat of a pod). The power comes on pretty darn smoothly, and the response is very similar to stock, just a 5h1tload more power! Thanks to John and Angelo :D

My car @ Turbo Upgrade thread

Might be going to Wakey on Tuesday and see how it fares, compared to last time where it overheated after two sessions :)

I've got some spare parts for sale too, will list them up shortly, cbf just now.

Man... I forgot what i's like driving a Skyline around here hahahah. Commodores n a few others feeling they have to make their presence known to me. The stovetop lights must attract them like gnats to a light :) FUN TIMES :D

haha I think it's too late to get the license on time isnt it! It sounds interesting though! I'll look into it next time :O I posted in the events section about going to Wakefield this Tuesday but no comments :) I loved it the first time and wanna see what I can do in more than 2 sessions haha

BTW, went for a ride tonight in my car and then in with a mate in his new SS commodore. Both agreed mine would fairly kicks his ass... not from a dead halt, but would be far ahead not long after :)

Check with DIF, but I'm pretty sure you can get your licence on the day.

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
