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

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • 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.
