google vertical hood....go on i dare ya :wub:

its pretty easy theres two little tabs on the hindge which bottom out at full extension... i used a hammer and chisel to bend these back. some ppl cut them off but the beauty of bending them back is that they still provide friction when u go past the normal point.

some updates!

I got some clear headlight covers from http://www.2-up.com.au/ and the quality is awesome.. got to work on the old lights getting the lenses off and that was fun thats for sure. put the covers on and they fit perfect. sealed them up and let them set then chucked them on today along with new front bar.

looks a lot better now thats for sure just gotta get some corner lights!

got a new Gate as well as some poncams. will be putting them in and then hitting up winton very soon.

heres some pics.

pretty cool build.

I have the same sort of setup. s14 series 1, r33 rb25 with 3037s, makes 296rwhp on 15psi. hope to see this at winton for drift attack!

Yeah I'll be there mate. Just got retune with poncams and now makes 330 rwkw and near 600 nm torque!!! Goes well lol

full boost at 3400 rpm. .63 rear housing using 100 ron fuel. and yeah the poncams retain the VCT.. is sweet!

hey simon. i would have thought you would have the .81 housing but guessing the .63 is what helps with response? im just in the process of getting a new turbo setup. manifold and gate are sorted but im trying to select the best turbo combination to keep good response.

at the moment we have decided on a GT3076R with the serge compressor housing and a .63 rear. but im am concerned that it wont flow enough.

depends on what your end power goals are... the .63 does 300 rwkw no worries at all.. has all the responce in the world. i love it! dont need to rev the shit out of it to get power u can just ride the fat torque band in the midrange.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
