first car was my dads old N13, mum had an N16, sister bought an N14. Test drove a couple of cars and an N15 SSS was easily the best and cheapest. The interwebz showed me what could be done with them and how to enjoy it, then I bought a heavily modified one and continued to alter.

it's not an addiction... it's not like you continue to buy parts even if you can't afford it. unless you have track days or cruises planned and deadlines to meet. but at the end of the day, a car build has all the time in the world really.

Yeah I sent PM Dezz, sorry should of warned you...

I dunno about you guys but when I started modifying my car I was definitely hooked and spending money I couldn't afford..Now I feel its pretty well built Im trying not to spend money on it..occasionaly I see something I just can't resist and I buy it and it sits in my shed ... I still want to and I definitely get withdrawelz from not driving it...I crave it, I long for it ,im breaking Into a sweat just thinking about it....

Artz go and drive it ya big skirt.

evo is quick.. im gonna miss that being able to put the fut half way down and all of this boost noise and power to release and get that flutter...

once i buy a house, you all need to force me to get another jap car

then I remember sitting at the lights on st kilda rd (near fitzroy st) and this guy pulled up next to me in a brand spanking new (well close to) Wine red R33 Gts-t... and the rest is history

yeah, I have a dump and front pipe sitting there... just need to find an 8MR turbo and BOV then I can wind in more... should be looking at 230ish which will make a huge difference

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
