in regards to your cold air intake, is it possible to fabricate some sort of snorkel similar to a stock skyline on that sits on top of the rad support? and flairs out? this no issues with water soak

Yeah that would be the best one, I can't believe I didn't think of that! Would be the most effective too. Thanks dood!

Any input on the wheels and/or break calipers?

Hey guys, bit of a video of having a bit of a sting on the freeway...

This vid gives you an idea of the road manners of the car, forgive the sting at the start, I missed 3rd gear lol

Has a bit of Bloody Beetroots/Congrorock soundtrack too haha

Should do 0-100 in about 5-6 seconds

Enjoy!

Hey kids just wanted to chuck up a few pics for some process...

Here's my sexy new log mani for my external gate conversion.

Has a 38mm wastegate port and I need to find an adapter for 38mm two bolt -> v-band for the Tial.

From there I need the .86 housing for the turbo then a t3-t28 adapter and then its off to the exhaust shop for the new dump and wastegate plumbing...

I'ma get carline mufflers to make up a reticulation pipe, then a block off plate and a screamer, so i can interchange between screamer and recirculated :P

Fun times!

i would love to have a sr20vet X trail as a daily

they are just so hard to come by

f**k yeah... There was only 500 or so made, and it seems most people who bought one, don't wanna sell them... Apparently most of them are in Malaysia or new Zealand...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
