my professors (18x9.5) are just on 10kg

they aint heavy wheels

call him and tell him your a mate of mine.... then watch him drop $50 of the price like that... LIKE THAT!

whodaman?

I had about an inch on you, now with 17's its about an inch and a half lol... Lets not go there!!!!

When I get back, ive got something in store for you ;)

are you sure..? haha when u get back july or soemthing?

Oh and alex, nah im not coming tonight haha. How was/is it? same shit or...?

didnt go.. was to warm in bed haha.. think it was usual shitttt been a bit better last couple weeks but a bit more attention too it seeems :down:

Yeah cool Shan!

If they want decent resale value, then yes... Yes they do :P

that aside, regardless of ur personal opinion of gtrs, they're still an icon. Kids grow up lusting after it and staring at it. Not that they don't at other skylines but it has a rep that's hard to shake. My bf's gtst makes 280rwkw and is bright orange. And it gets a lot of attention. But my stocker 190awkw gtr gets just as much awe as his does depending on the audience. First question when people see it... 'is that a REAL gtr??'

And his car as a 34 is still 40-50k 10 odd years on.

Case closed :D

;)

Fuck I hate it when ppl ask that!

To the untrained eye, they can't see the wider guards and the GTR badge.

What makes it worst is, I don't have the OEM Spoiler and ppl just think it is a GTS-T.

:down::D

I like!

Well it turns out that the oil light was only on because the sensor is from the gen2 NA engine.. the gen3 turbo is completely different.

That's what the previous owner told me (after I just txted him about it).

I actually checked the dipstick this time and it indicates it's full haha..

BUT there is a pool of oil under the car (probably about 100ml). Could this be because I overflowed it? I only topped it up by about 100ml

Either I have epic failed or the old owner is lying.

so originally was a gen 2 NA engine ? and now a gen 3 turbo

why the engine swap?

Well the swap was done at 220,000km when the old engine was getting a bit old.

The gen3 is a much better designed engine. And well, obviously for more power!

Gen 2 NA = 117kw

Gen 3 turbo = 180kw (stock)

Mine would probably be over 200kw. Loving the power/weight ratio :down:

ah yeh fair call

yeah i knew they had more power, and they dont feel so restrictive up top cause they have better cams (brother was looking at buying one)

actually when he was looking he found a gen 2 with gen 3 engine we test drove in gladstone park, was red and paint work wasnt the best best

sounds similar to the one you bought

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
