Also, whats the annodised purple sender unit at the back of the engine bay do? looks like a fuel rail of some sort? Never seen them mounted like that though.

vacum unit every thing your seeing there is all costom made by me

Good job, I wouldn't have the GTR badge, but each to their own!!! Like the paint, you did a good job

thanks agian and if you look close at the badge its not a gtr badge its a gts R simialar :thumbsup:

Apologies, I didn't look at the front on shot till now...........but I'm still not in favour - but as I said different folks, different strokes etc I'm proud to have a Gtst and am happy to leave it at that + I'm a less badges is better type anyway.

BTW what colour is it? Sometimes looks black and other shots it has a deep brown sort of sheen to it. I'm saying black with reflection on the paint, but just wanted to be sure.

its ok guys

the car is jet black maybe is reflection from the wall and the reason i had to make that badge guys is beacuse i used a geniune gtr grill and where the badge goes is massive and to cover the holes thats the only idea i come up with at least not gtr :down:

I love it man, well done.

A lot of effort for good results, you should be proud!

Black with gold wheels looks sex too.

i am happy they you guys enjoy beacuse it was hard for me to do it in my shead with a four year old son running around me but i done it and i am proud :down:

    • Noice Once exhaust leak is sorted post vids for audible sexy time The thing should be a laugh riot to drive
    • Nah, apparently the way to do it is just mess with how much timing the engine uses to try to correct idle. So it massively undershoots, then overshoots, then undershoots, then overshoots. So timing is going from 5deg to 45deg to 5 deg to 45deg. But I kinda prefer the car to not lurch around and have a dependable idle. Given it didn't idle for shit and stalled about 7 times on the way home, still yet to drive it for the 2nd time to see if it's fixed.
    • Best chop idle FTW, just add an idle timing hole lol
    • Alright. Many little things have been sorted and the car successfully drove home with an incredibly huge exhaust leak. Unsure if it's simply been awhile, but new heads and cam and intake sound f**kin awesome. It might only be me that notices it though, and it's hard to tell from a 15 minute gauntlet run home and attempting to bleed the radiator. Undertrays on, tools out, road brake pads in, idle un-f***ed, time to do some road tuning. From my commute around town it sounds and drives *really* nice (with a max of like 35% throttle). It'll go to a dyno for a proper before and after once the tune is more roughly dialled in. And @Dose Pipe Sutututu I did learn how to do a proper chop tune at idle. I did indeed even do it, but the car shaking around at idle from the driverr seat made me make it smooth again.. I feared for my engine mounts and clerances to engine bay jank. . After the exhaust is fixed I may mess around with it more. I'm just happy to have it drive around without bucking or stalling which is a WIP.
    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.
