Engine Rebuild - Questions...

[Swiper the Fox]

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.

leave all the badges off

yeah badges off gets my vote...a clean white car with no external bits will look sweet as

if you really want them though kat...danny from canberra cruises (with the 180) works at nissan in phillip...send him a pm and ask him...

[GTRKat]

Thanks Gus, I'll have a chat to Danny.

I'm pretty much decided I'll just replace the GTR badge and leave the rest badgeless. A GTR without a badge on it's bum just isn't right!!

[Gus-]

but then u can tell people its a gtst with gtr guards

n then smoke them

[GTRKat]

Why the hell would I want to do that?

[Gus-]

cuz itd be funny into fooling some idiot your driving a gtst

and the real "fans" will know what it is...thus appreciate it more.

plus it will look a whole lot cleaner badgeless.

GTR badge is sexy. Plus there'll be one on the front too so no surprises there

I know Donnan loves his GTS-T look a like, but a GTR should be proud to wear the GTR badge.

Hows the stroker coming along?

update needed?????

[GTRKat]

Well just lucky that today I do have an update to keep the crowd happy!

Machining is underway and should be getting put together soon. Picked up the rest of the engine covers to go to the spray painter. Here are some photeys of my visit out to have a look at it all today!

Noice!

I'm getting the covers all painted up too... Curious to know, who leaves their coilpack covers on and who takes them off? Advice as to what's best to do either way?

[Gus-]

mine are off...dont really care though thats how i got it

from what ive read it doesn't really make any difference in them lasting longer or anything...if it was me i would put the cover on...why build a nice engine and then make it look ugly by leaving it off

[GTRKat]

I'm more after the technical differences rather than the "it looks ugly that way" haha.

BTW anyone wanna buy a pair of 2860-7 turbos?? Haha..... Seems a shame not to use slightly bigger turbos for my build.

[Gus-]

do a search then lol

did you get onto danny about the GTR badges???

[GTRKat]

I certainly did. Badge is on it's way
