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.

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.

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!! :P

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 :blink:

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!!

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 ;)

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
