lol.. well if all goes well I will probably take some pix tomorrow, post them up.

It's not going to be complied (going to do that mostly myself I decided) for a while, so not going to go anywhere much further than the driveway unfortunately :(

Yeah same here I hate buying pos cars and spending money fixin this and that, rather just spend more money and buy something that is gonna last and stuff.

thats why i sold the line and bought a new car for work i would have loved to keep the line but i didnt want a shitbox ute that would break down on me everyday i went to work so i bought brand new instead

Yeah what you got is waaaaaay better than a pos ute, although I know of some pos utes that just refuse to die, so but still I'd rarther what you got to over a pos ute, but hmmmm add in a skyline and it would be a tough call for me, but you probably made the cheaper decision which in the end would be the right one :(

And no sign of Nexus at the meeting :( NO HUB AND NO CAT5 CABLE MAKES CYRUS something something

Sorry Cyrus I am sick, I had to have the day off work today as well and I never take days off :D

new car is black..

yeah, chris didn't sound too well this morning... Didn't think he would make it.

I yes and no about shitboxes.. they're never anything classy, but parts are cheap, and my last 4 shitboxes have only broken down on me twice.. once for a dead starter motor, and once for a dead cas.. but I do try to choose my cheap crap carefully :(

And if one can do 15 laps of QR without dying they can't be that unreliable :D

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
