Will be looking at my first GTRs next weekend :P any tips on what to look for? whats the main things to look for i.e rust spots etc, Trent at status told me to check the oil pressure when driving making sure it doesn't get too low (or high for that matter).

Think i will just look at a few with decent rims already on.. save me the MOLAH

yeah but those are guys in the US and EU with no access to cheap secondhand work meshies.

Problem is finding 17" in a 5x100 PCD with just the right offset. Not that easy cos all the dubber's snap em up.

tried to access SAU at work. Loaded SAU forum but in the middle was a message saying I do not have permission to view this forum :D

How is it possible? It wasnt a regular website block through the company firewall. The whole sau site loaded, it just had a little red message box in the centre (like when you enter a wrong password)

haha

meh wheels are wheels. Don't have to change em straight away. All about what's functional. My car remains proof of that. See...when I was looking, I wanted a purple one n would only look at a purple one. Till that got too frustrating n I decided screw it, I can change shit later if I don't like it, I just want to buy the best condition one I can find. Why hang out for a car with rims, or a specific color when it could end up being utter shit engine and running gear wise. just gotta b smart about it. And remember dealers know how to patch things up for long enough to make it seem like it drives better than it will once u get it home.

if people are retarded enough to overlook shit that's wrong with a car because it has hektic rims, I'm gonna start decking my shit out in CE28N's before I flog em off.

Even if you get rims with a car I'm sure the previous owner couldn't drive for shit and gutted them anyways. I've had my rims for 2 years with no gutter rash at all. Just buy new rims when you get the car.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
