it would be MUCH cheaper to sell up and buy a 33r that is already modded and midnight purple....

While I agree, and to be honest that was my original intention.

All the ones I looked at (14 over a 3 month period) had far too many cable ties and no proof of purchase to back the claims of all the marvellous modifications the young gentlemen claimed to have made. I was also surprised at the amount of GT-Rs that are only driven to church on sunday by their grandmothers :P

Stage 1 plus injectors, plus pipes, plus -9s, plus sump, plus fuel pump, plus lots of other goodies that seem to cost more than the original car.

Nice! Nice!

What power output you looking for?

Having said that, after looking around at many of the R33 GT-Rs on car sales and going to see them, I am more then happy to spend the money on a reliable build that is done by a shop with a very good reputation.

Chris seemed very professional, and while perhaps higher priced than some builders his shop had a lack of hammers that was of considerable comfort :P

He's one of the best along to charge accordingly.

+ There is more to it then just building the engine as I am sure he has explained to you.

I am after 300-333kw (333 is good for my OCD) at the pretty wheels I will buy for it :)

Yes, Chris was most helpful

From the look/build of most of the young gentlemen one could assume that the local McDonalds car park is as far as their car went :P

That is of course at a gentle speed, and in the afore mentioned car park not revving it to its limit to impress the like minded young ladies that enjoy the company of a man with a ruined motor vehicle :)

That should be easy with -9's and a built engine.

Along with Dale and Luke who help out tremendously.

Hope all goes well!

There was a young man there who I spoke to, and to my shame for the life of me I cannot remember his name, he was very nice and very helpful.

Well that depends on a few factors, tax returns, the 6 numbers for tattslotto and Chris working out I am his 100,000th customer and building it for free as a promotional event :P hehe

Build will start hopefully in 2 months time.

330... don't bother building it until (if) it pops... an unopened 25 will do that let alone a 26

I would like the peace of mind of reliability and giving the cost involved, I believe that rebuilding suits my requirements best :)

but what he is saying is that you dont have to spend the money until it pops. all the bolts can still be used after you have rebuilt the popped engine. save some kesh!

I understand, money is not an issue, can always make more :)

Now standing next to a broken GT-R on the freeway is an issue :P

It's always worth the thought...

I had a 300+ rwkw RB25 that was leant on for 3 years, which I then replaced for $1000 with another that is still going strong

you can do this 4/5 times before you come close to the cost of a build, and when a built motor lets go, you just blew a LOT of cash.

just food for thought... you can always build later if you decide you need to be in the 400 club

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
