Yaay Nice work but why is Artz takin so long to get his car together?

put your money where your mouth is and beat him to it!

I dont imagine you to have any real friends, all I see you do is hang around like an opportunistic vulture and wait for somebody to fall in your honour

when I first started blabbering about this 20g stuff, do you know what the first thing I did was? I bought a 20g. You can ask ARTZ, we bit the bullet about the same time and had plenty of colourful convo's about it. Jez now has my 20g, another member has my 33 and another has my 1JZ.

I wish I could be your scape goat on this one, but not everything pans out as you expect. How about you put a 20g on a 1JZ for me? I would love to know how it turns out. Thanks.

All good things come in time any reason u all seem to be running tial 44 gates I have to buy a gate for my setup shortly but my manifold is 4 bolt

cut it off and get someone to weld the Vband flange to it..

Bahahaha...yeah you can ask me...Scot pretty much dared me to get one and said if I did he would too..true to his word he did..then wished he hadnt...lol

Also little did he know my car was wrecked at the time..I think if you actually saw how much work I have done in the last 6-7 months, including fixing the wreck, rebushing my front end and installing the new turbo and ancillaries. All under a tarp in my backyard on sunny and occasionally even rainy days with nothing much more than a bag of tools, a 20$ jack from autobahn** and a skeleton budget. Inbetween working 50+ hr weeks and entertaining one kid whilst making another one..

you would of thought twice about asking such a ignorant question..

I think I've done alright all things considered...anyways peace.. :D

** I bought a new jack the other day, not only can I jack the car up in one go now, but this one doesn't slowly fall back down on me after 2 minutes....

Bahahaha...yeah you can ask me...Scot pretty much dared me to get one and said if I did he would too..true to his word he did..then wished he hadnt...lol

LOL circumstances change, i still wish i could have finished that car but it wasnt meant to be..

After all those convos about how to fix your rubbish turbo problem, I had no choice but to boycott you in! you know I even bought that while I was in indonesia? just to make sure I knew you got it too HAHA!! otherwise I would have hit the buy it now when i got back to my own country LOL

Ok so I'm using the same turbo I did on my 20 td06h-20g 8cm it's now going onto a sr so very little difference only diff being I'll be using a 3 bolt flange for the rear housing to see how well it flows changes spool time ect. I'm considering buying a blue lable td05-18g 8cm so that would bolt straight onto the mani I'm making for the sr. This way I can test the differences between the turbos I'm sure jez won't mind haha or boydy. Now I just need to get the BMW going haha

Scott. Hope you are not talkin crap about me, you seemed ok till now. All this stuff about vultures and scapegoats and what not..totally irrelevant to what I asked. Basically did you get an anal assault or what?? From the unexpected sudden change of tune. Many times I wish this forum had less kids n fkwits like Labomba and now seemingly yourself and more grown ups to avoid low-level talk n occassional people bashing.

I stick to my statement. Your always hanging around waiting and encouraging somebody else to try before YOU buy, I straight out don't appreciate that. There's a difference in attitude between quietly keeping an eye on someones build and purposefully encouraging them to hurry so you can see how it turns out for you own benefit. You have some audacity to talk about other members of this forum.

You can call me childish or whatever else you want, fact is I am an asshole and always tell it how it is. I'm not afraid to hear one more goof call me an asshole or a child or whatever else you would like to say, go nuts.

Fact is you and I watch the same threads, Ive probably inadvertently read 90% of your total posts, and I can safely say you have a crappy attitude towards this forum and the help you get from its members. End of story.

    • I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎 
    • I also don't mean to rain on your parade. But with a 5-10k budget for road only? I'd want to check confirmation that everything IS working correctly and I'm with @GTSBoy for a plan of action here. I'd be checking subframes, bushes, exhaust hangers, interior bits and generally QOL things and CONFIRMING they are working right before thinking about motor. You can get 250KW+ on stock RB26 hardware by simply removing the built in restrictors and tuning the stock ECU. If you want purity that's as far to take it, which I would be worried to do and won't think the budget would allow for when earnestly checking for 30+ year old car stuff.
    • I specifically said buy new performance car because of the use case here (i.e, no track use and fun livable everything/do it all easily if not especially amazing as a drivers car). Tracking an 80K Skyline and an 80K M2 makes the BMW the obviously more risky purchase WHEN something goes wrong you suddenly can't easily fix it with hand tools and readily available parts that you may have a community of people you know available, or years of your own knowledge on the platform to apply. There's reasons you see Hondas and Vettes and RB's and Miatas and such at tracks, you can easily hand-tool repair 99.9% of it in a shed, usually with the tools and the skillset of the owner to apply to it. An i30N is not going to beat a R chassis unless it's got massive problems either. The old cars can, and still do work great. The problem is - and always has been - social media would have you believe it's simple and easy to achieve the results you see online.  People want their car to be like "one of those cool JDM cars" which is the default image people have when they think of  "cool JDM cars" You are paying 25 years of catchup R&D to achieve. Or the knowledge somebody else has to do it for you, which is big dollar restomod stuff.  The bar has been moved and every R chassis that people see/like/enjoy has 25 years of R&D thrown at it, or is owned by someone who did all that work and has that knowledge over the past 25 years. All the survivors have been progressively resto-modded the entire time. OR you slowly bring it back to how it was stock. Which is also prohibitively expensive, done for the love of it. This is what the JDM community is now. This is fine, but "Where do I start?" is either: 1) Don't 2) Take your own slow journey but you cannot compare your progress with others who have had 25 years of R&D and experience building their own cars unless you pay for it.
    • Yep, with the crazy inflation of the value of our cars these past couple of years this became a problem for me too... My solution is to transition to bikes. Everything feels so cheap compared to tracking the skyline lol
    • So, I've been a little busy on this car. I replaced the bonnet struts which is always satisfying but very confusing that nobody else on the planet seems to do this. Its just my routine first thing I do on any car I buy. The boot struts for both the tailgate and the separately opening glass window was a bastard. And, I found a fair bit of rust in the strut cavity. I filled it with rust converter and cleaned up as much of the dirt as I could. There was so much dirt. One piece of the trim was barely hanging on and so I've left it off. I'll try to get a replacement. You can see how disgusting and dirty it all was in this thread; I had to remove the little clips that hold the struts on the ball. The ones I took off had no clips and it was impossible to get them on with them in place. Fingers crossed they stay put. So, I turned my attention to the headlights, they were in a bad way and likely would stop rego. I took the headlights out and found the adjusters were all just loose. So, I fixed those and unclipped the lenses to clean them up. Couldn't believe how easy it was to take all this apart compared to the E90.   I also cleaned up the stockies which was awesome, these are super cool with lug nut covers. They're in good nic but the tyres are shot. I was going to use these for rego but in the end got a fresh pair of rubber for the 17's on the front of the car instead. The front bar of this car is from a late(r) model one. I don't think it's quite LCI but who knows. I'll need to find out. Anyway, the bar was missing the fog lights and the wiring and plugs were for the original ones so I got new plugs and some cheap fogs. I wasn't sure if missing original equipment would hamper my blue slip attempts. Had a couple of these little fellas helping out. But not Ben who got stuck behind the pool heater .... How embarressment.  I ordered new speed sensors for all corners because I knew one was out. I just got cheapies and will replace them with Bosch items when I can find Bosch items. Again, this was just for rego. Alas, it seems the blue speed sensors are not the same as the grey ones. Back they went and replacements ordered. In the end, with my new scan tool, it was just rear left that was shot. Replaced it and cleared the codes. All good now. Lastly, my aux (thermo) fan is being a bit odd. Its powering up at strange times and NOT powering up when I think it should (100C). While this can be caused by a few things, the most likely (for me) is the ambient temp sensor. Given mine reads -40.0C regardless of the temp, I figured it would be good to replace it. In the end, the sensor wiring was abysmal with (terrible) attempts made by somebody to fix it.   I fixed this all up but the sensor is only attached using pins into the wires. The plug is not there. Despite trying and trying to connect it securely it wouldn't work so a replacement sensor and plug is on the way. Oh, I also ordered a replacement piece of trim for the part missing here at the bottom. Ordered from Latvia for $70 delivered. I took a bit of a leap of faith because I didn't have the exact part number and, as usual, there were eleventy billion pieces of trim that looked to fit. Nailed it. Well, its not totally perfect but I think its more a 28 y/o car problem than a trim problem. And, as of today ..... I have bought the workshop manuals 2nd hand off a guy in tassie. 1000+ pages of E39 goodness, hopefully it helps me with the fan. I also have a new temp switch on the way incase its the problem. Stoked.
