Engine Rebuild - Questions...

[GTRKat]

Was about $80 for a genuine R34 badge. Figured I may as well get the one to match the one I bought for the front

Fake badges look shit.

nice work.

whats the diff between R34 n R32...any colour different or anything?

[GTRKat]

Think the R34 ones are slightly redder and darker. There are a few differences but they're only subtle.

[Gus-]

i reckon i might get danny to hook me up with two for mine

hehe jks jks

so what turbos you going for then...or should i say turbo???

[GTRKat]

Don't make me hurt you Gus

IF and only if I can get rid of them I have a lovely person hooking me up with twin HKS 2530s. See how it goes, I have about 3 weeks.

[Gus-]

bah twin t88's is the way to go

and sif not gtr badges...would be good to laugh at all the people who thought it was actually a gtr

[GTRKat]

And to make me stab you

2530s shall do me just fine but at this stage it's still going to be my 2860-7s. SOMEONE buy my turbos!!!!!!!!!!! Haha no matter what I put in I'll always want to go bigger better faster. I can't help myself.

[Gus-]

haha i rmember one guy who worked at a servo asked me if it was a GTR and i said yes and then he asked if it was a 32 or a 33...i said 32...he goes sick as 32's are my favorite skylines

i lold...but dw...id never put gtr badges on...fark that...

[GTRKat]

I saw some losers at Gunners with a 33 GTST with a GTR badge on it. Parked mine and got out and they watched me pull up and were looking at me... As I walk past I just simply said "At least mine's real". Hehe they didn't say a word.

Well with -7's the 2.8 will be super responsive, great for the track.

[GTRKat]

That's why I'm not heartbroken if I can't get rid of them

[GTRKat]

Just a little update.... Car is going to be sprayed on Thursday at this stage. Wheels are fixed and getting delivered early next week so hopefully they're looking good.

Bottom end of my engine is about to be assembled. Was a bit of a wait on a few extra studs and things that we decided to change at the last minute. Hopefully will have some piccies in the next few days. The porting of the head is almost finished and Greg is going to do some flow testing.

Happy days, it's all starting to come together!! 4 weeks without my baby so far, wow it's been a long 4 weeks!!

[GTRKat]

The old VS the new. Crappy photo but I'm sure you all get the point!

[N1GTR]

Id stick with the genuine R32 one, maybe get some new red on it and some gloss

Also coilpack cover I leave on, but everything else that matters is ceramic coated (turbos, manifolds, dumps, fronts) so the only heat will be coming from the actual motor in mine. Its not hard to pull it off though or vice versa, definatly get it sprayed at the same time with the other covers though

[GTRKat]

R32 badge is dead to me. It won't even be the same colour as the car anymore so 34 badge is going on. Also matches the front grille badge. Coordination is a good thing!

As for covers I'm still undecided. They're all getting painted up anyways so will see what Ed wants to do when he puts it all back together.

So if nothing goes wrong I'll have it back in 2 weeks!!

[Gus-]

bage = fails

but do does gus

[N1GTR]

Fingers crossed you have it in 2 weeks

From experience it will take longer, things *always* come up

[GTRKat]

Oh we shall see. But remember, I have all the parts we're not waiting on anything. Everyone involved wants it out before Christmas too.

[N1GTR]

All going well i hope

My sump was finished today, motor is ready to go on Friday - thats one more white r32 out there on the roads

[GTRKat]

I'm just waiting on a call back to confirm where the engine is at.

Paint is finished, car is getting put back together as we speak. Colour looks damn awesome!

Will be back at Autotech on Monday ready to get it's engine put back in
