shit's ready to rock.

Thinking I might need these wheels too.

Thinking it's a pretty good price considering the tyres are included.

yeah that was brutal.

Got a video of it too.

Found a spare though thanks to Mr. Truscott :)

Car was playing up a bit so I spent a lot of time in the pits. Had some problems with boost controll, then after I fixed that the dash was playing up then after that the Diff was peg legging unless I gave it the full beans and a MASSIVE clutch kick. so yeah, pretty average day.

It was the best though when some kids came up and tried to take a picture of them selves with my car in the shot and my mum was like "oh hey boys, why don't you hop in and take a photo!" so they jumped in the driver seat and took some pics; totally made their day!

It's great to see some young ones appreciate your hard work! Even if they don't understand what it is!!

I had someone ask for a ride at powercruise, first an only person to ask... But it was just after I'd pulled in for a split hose... Felt like a c*nt haha!!

Rekon diff is shagged or needs some new good oil?

yeah that was brutal.

what sort of boost control are you running? haltec or standalone?

do you have an aftermarket diff or just standard nissan viscus?

he's running a nismo 2 way as far as i'm aware. oil probably came off the good ship, titanic and needs to be released back into the wild

Edited by Mr. Untouchable

Yeah Nismo 2-way.

Haltech does all the boost controlling. I think I've isolated the problem, just need to have a fiddle to see if it fixes it. Just some settings in the ECU need some tweaking I reckon

What oil should I put in my Diff?

im not sure what you should run but you can get nismo lsd oil off just jap.

i have heard people having a lot of trouble with boost control using the haltec and haltec solenoid. but others have non. it can also be caused by the plumbing of the waste gate. i had a heap of problems with mine to start with as i plumbed it the same as on a few different cars i knew and it gave odd problems. had to change it to a somewhat complicated setup and its been sweet ever since.

Perfect Nissan Harmony.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
