Oh yes I know this =) My engine was broken in october 2010... My car is in rebuild since that date... I hope I can finish the rebuild in the next few weeks. And than, sitting in the car, feel the rb26...oh, yeah I think I will forget all the months without the car and I will forget all the money I spent in the car^^

Haha not yet, just got back from sunny QLD.

Replaced the front drivers side diff seal and new diff oil yesterday so hopefully no more leak ;)

Car is up in the air ready for me to switch out clutch for the new one.

Thanks Brad! Yours will be a monster!!

Still have not done clutch...had to keep it on the road due to things popping up and arriving short notice :whistling:. Was worth it though!

The clutch is a Nismo gmax twin plate (Brett) , that I got second hand, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt with new clutch discs.

I'm currently half way through getting brembo bits to take the brakes back to something more streetable...

So, went to a workshop to borrow their hoist to do a clutch change....

End of the day car is still in the air...

First the new spigot bearing that was just fitted failed, spat out all it's needle rollers, so I had to pull that crap out then fit a bronze bush which I usually stick to.

The nismo twin I bought was actually from an R33GTR and won't work with a 34 due to different height, which I knew.

It was sold to me as a 34GTR clutch/flywheel and had 34GTR paint markered on it. Place is well known for jap spares and engines, and are usually on the ball.

So after a lot of cursing, I borrowed the courtesy car and went home to check my spare nismo gmax twin I got from flee bay. Wow it was a 34GTR clutch, and this one I can actually use as it is the right height.

So I will finish my install tomorrow....

they look good! was thinking of getting them for my R34 GTT but wasn't sure how they were fitted, looks like you screwed them in?

no way of them fitting like stock with the clips on the back.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
