But let me just say Kat's about to have noooo money!!!

I can relate. I purchased the Tomei 2.8L kit a couple of months ago for mine plus other goodies and the cash flow is still pretty low (thats GTR's for ya). But no doubt i'll still spend more money on it in the future. It's nearly all put back together can't wait to turn the key and hear it rumble.

Of course I have pics! :P I put them on facebook but forgot to put them here. Will get to it!!

And on a happy note, my engine is now stripped and work is well underway. Going to get pics as the machining is done and will go in and see how it's going some time this week or next week. Better than Christmas I tells ya! :laugh:

By the way, my Tomei dump pipes fell through, anyone know where is a good place to get hold of a set??

Here are some piccies!!!

make sure they balance everything...not just bolt it together...as the Tomei 2.8 kits are far from perfect out of the box.

good luck with it.

Such a shame all that nice gear will be hidden inside a block!

There's a guy in the FS section selling a pair of tomei dumps for 870, i just got a set for 750 though. Its just a matter of good timing and not bothering to look overseas at the moment

I am not going to talk about how much I just paid for my Tomei dumps because I didn't want to wait for them and would be very upset if that was what held up getting my car back.

I am very unhappy with the person that I paid a large sum of money to for parts because of this. I would have happily ordered them somewhere else before our dollar became useless overseas.

Hehe no facebook group, they're just in my pics along with lotsa piccies of my baby which is all I have at the moment!!

New dumps organised, should arrive tomorrow if they didn't today. Also got the coilpack loom and turns out that Just Jap do have silicon hoses for R32s they're just not listed on the website.

Yay for Just Jap for last minute prices!

Also managed to sell my crank already cause Greg is building another engine and the dude's crank is totally rooted but he can't afford a better one. Yay $400 up.... A lot down... :bomb_ie: I say garage sale at my place if anyone needs old GTR shit!

Anyone know of anywhere good locally where I can get a genuine Nissan GTR boot badge and a Nissan badge.

My Nissan one is snapped in half and the GTR one can certainly do with refreshing!

Car is all straight and waiting to be primed now :blink:

Nissan australia will get you one, ring them up and quote your VIN :(

Or justjap, but they're all black background so non genuine

Ahh cheers for that I'll have a chat to them. I'm thinking I might leave the Nissan one off and put a new GTR badge on it. Just Jap has what they advertise as being genuine badges on their website - the R32 ones come in different colours on there too.

Thinking I'll go a 33 or 34 one to match the one on the grille. Leaving the GT badges off the side now too. ;)

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
