LOL. I'd love to see the rain dance for that.

it involves big macs, jelly donuts and the neighbours soundtrack.

it aint pretty.

Nah, gotta be something better than that...

its the best i could come up with on the spot. ill work on it.

In other news, put an offer on a house, missed out by a measly $1000

its a sign that you should build the 'R instead.

i have a nitro circus ticket, a jason alexander spectacular ticket (george from sienfeld standup), f1 ticket in melb and finally my bali plan ticket

but, im really wanting one of them luke, lol

who the fk are the nitro circus tickets through !

all i keep hearing is they are coming but i cant find any info at all

Fking yeeeeeeeewwwww the Silvos is coming along nicely now :P

New loom is bought, thankfully I guessed the right one to match my hacked one out of the 2 different Ceffy looms JIS had :P Engine mount sussed, turbo and ancillaries have all been transferred to the new motor, clutch and flywheel are on.

Tomorrow will hopefully see the rad getting a proper flush, the gearbox bolted up and the new loom connected up.

If we get lucky the motor may even be sitting in the bay by days end but that might be pushing it :)

I can hear the rev limiter bracing itself for some punishment already :D

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
