Engine Rebuild - Questions...

[N1GTR]

Good to hear

Edit: about the progress, not you about to be broke

[SilverSlyder]

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.

And my baby is offically minus one engine!!!

It's killing me already.

[INVRTD]

nawww, just think of the one thats gonna go back in and youll be right

[N1GTR]

Have you got pics of the stroker kit?

Try to imagine how I feel after two years!!

[GTRKat]

Of course I have pics! 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!

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

[N1GTR]

You've got the pics on facebook? Did you start a group on there for rebuilt GTR owners? lol, cause ill join

[GTRKat]

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!!

[N1GTR]

lol, dont worry i can guess what you paid

That crank is so, so nice! Should be a real weapon when its finished

[GTRKat]

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... I say garage sale at my place if anyone needs old GTR shit!

I hear ya Jayce "Ditto".

[INVRTD]

yeah sucks to have had the dollar fall so much of late, good to see everything still movign along tho

[GTRKat]

It's a bit poo. But lucky I already had all the big parts so no big worries for me. Now it's just the looooong waiting game

[GTRKat]

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

[N1GTR]

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.
