Hey Guys,

Firstly, please let me know if there is somewhere better that I should have posted this. I threw it to the local Canberra one but haven't had too many bites yet!

Now, I am sure this is out there somewhere but I have been searching for ages with no luck! Basically I would like to rebuild my GTR at some stage. I want to do a full rebuild, mostly for strengthening so I can get some more power out of her and so I know that there are good quality parts in there and what stage they are at. I don't plan to wait until I break it, this is something I want to do in my own time when I am ready and when I am prepared (well hopefully this will be before I break it!).

So basically I'm just after a full list of parts that are required. I have seen various people's posts but they don't go into huge detail. I'm not after opinions on brands or parts at this stage, just a lost of parts themselves. Will research into certain bits as required when I find out what they all are. Figure I can slowly start purchasing and accumulating stuff :huh:

Any help will be greatly appreciated, I'm the first to admit that I don't know shit about this sort of stuff just yet, I learn as I go!

Cheers,

Kat

Ok thanks will try the forced induction as well. I've spent bloody ages trolling through here and the GTR UK forums too but can't really find specifically what I'm looking for. :P

I'm not after anything stupid in terms of power. Currently I have only basic mods such as pods, boost controller, power fc, exhaust (all Apexi) along with some coilovers and suspension work and some Garrett 2860R-7 turbos.

It's only going to be used for driving around and some track days. I'll be happy with somewhere around 300-350kw at all 4 wheels if my turbos are capable of handling this. Otherwise would still like to go ahead with the rebuild with the view of changing the turbos down the track.

I just want to be really prepared when I get this done and I'm a bit clueless at the moment!

Another good idea for when you are doing a rebuild is to have the rear Hicas removed, rather then having it locked off completely, unless you are happy with the GTRs rear end play. Keep in mind for the GTR it is pricey to have the engine removed, so it is better to get everything done at once that can be done. OH! and a absolute must is to have upper oil galley restrictors put in, that alone will solve the bottom end being starved for oil (if you do a fair amount of drifting, a oil pan baffle would be a good ides aswell), aswell as a after market crank collar (Tomei?) for the sump.

I've heard of a lot of people having the rear Hicas removed or locked off... I shall look into the benefits of doing that but up to now I haven't had much of an issue with the rear end play.

Yes I'm hoping to do this properly and do everything at once while the engine is out, including getting the head ported and polished. No drift plans as yet but that doesn't mean that it isn't going to happen! Thankyou for your help it's all very much appreciated! :D

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
