hi guys, its been ages since i posted much about the car and im sorry, i just havnt had anytime lately to do much. and i put a lil hold on the project due to some other shit going on with work commitments.

so the vs-kf have sold and ive bought a set of 18inch te37's going on, there bronze so ill be getting them sprayed black and wrapping them in a set of nice sticky tyres.

carbon bonnet is on the car it just needs some slight massaging to get the perfect fir, i have bonnet pins going in as well.

ive sold my brides and im tossing up with installing the sparco fixed backs i have at home or going a set of r34 gtr seat, im leaning more towards the gtr seats because i like them more.

i was at sabaddins 2 weeks ago just to hi to the boys and i checked out some awesome parts that were there including

nitto pistons

rods (i cant remember the brand lol but they were awesome)

ati 1000hp balancer

the block and head were sitting there just kicking it lol and we r just waiting for some parts to come in for the head then all off to the machinists.

once again i am question turbo choice as i think the 42 will be too big for the street and i dun wanna go twins so soon ill be doing my head in again over the turbo choice but that is still a lil while away.

ill try to get pics up but i dont have a camera and my bro moved out a lil while ago so ill maybe have to go buy one

there are a few other carbon parts that have arrived but i havnt had the time to even unwrap them yet, but hopefully soon ill get to it.

cheers

julz

today my new rims arrived at my office

te37's :blink:

18x9.5 +15 all around.

they r the bronze color so my friend Jai from Neway tyres will be picking them up tomorrow and taking them to work to give them a new coat of super gloss black paint.

i also called mu secret and spoke to Andrew from there and bought a new set of rays stickers. for those who dont know they have been discontinued for quite some time and getting extremely difficult to find cost me $80 lol

tyres will must likely be federal 595rsr's or kumho ku36's ill decide this after the week end. coz im waiting on a couple of quotes still.

pics will be up as soon as i can im really sorry i havnt added any i just dont have a camera :thumbsup:

hay cosi

im going to sydney tomorrow for work for 4 days ill be back by friday and next weekend ill be taking the bodykit off and fitting the rims, ill take some pics then dude.

new kit and a few more carbon parts will be here in the next couple of weeks and then back to sabaddins for the engine.

ill borrow my bros camera and take a couple of shots for ya with the rims and bonnet etc.

cheers bro,

lol i got my rays stickers for $12 for a set of four.... stickers are stickers who gives a F(*& if there "GENUINE" haha

i dont put fake shit on my car, the few pieces that were have now been replaced with either the oe parts or hi quality aftermarket stuff, but each to there own i guess.

does rays have its own paint brand now does it buddy.

i painted them coz they were 2 different colors and quite frankly i dont think i need to justify my self.

clutch there not shiny, the color is the lambrghini satin black they r matt but the photo flash makes them look shiny

getting the tyres fitted tomorrow morning at tyre power in hawthorn then when i get home fit them on the beast and start it for the first time in 4 months hahaha

which tyres are you using Julz?

keen to see pics when they're fitted up :D

Rays engineering/volk racing, have there own pant codes :D

You need to put up some new pic's of the car, probably the only car i actually want to see on this forum at the moment

Edited by R34 -_-

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
