yeah i know its just a waste of money and effort if i just gave up with my car and bought a GTR. well today not much was done cause did drive my car there and was in the sun most of the time so engine didnt really get a cool down to start stripping it to get it out, well tomorro will be bringing the engine down and start changing all the gaskets and stuff, and maybe start stripping the 20 down depends how much work i feel like doing.

hey guys, well managed to actually get a car to take the engine over to the work shop, but spent some amount of time to get it into the back, it was a ute but had like a paddy wagon cover like thing hehe. all thanks to my big brother.

anyways some custom work was done, i started on making pods in the passenger side for three of my gauges, i have just started with the base of it. will do the rest tomorro then will start on the engine

pics i got here is engine when i got it

tomorro now will be taking the gearbox in, but i am still waiting for my clutch to arrive as it is still in transit between brisbane and perth.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.
