Fark I go away for a few hours and shits been happening in here....

TL DR version

Ants getting low and tyres

Storage shed guys are dicks

J-Rad is getting a gtr

Martin has a Sore brain

And saw some engine stuff :P

I'll have to catch up reading lol

Ruxis, GTR's are very expensive to maintain (also due to the fact they are AWD)...that is their only downfall

I was contemplating the 600ps Gunmetal Gray R32 GTR for 29k that Iron Chef had in stock at one point, which was immaculate and Grade 4 condition. Until my mechanic talked me out of it and said I wouldn't be able to afford to run it/maintain it. The thing would have had over 100 grand spent on it. HKS 2.8L stroker, T51r etc.

I asked my parents to lend me 14k as I only had 15k at the time, but naturally they refused to lend me money.

Which is why I ended up with a Rwd S15, as cheaper to maintain. But its so slow...sadface =(. And I've already blown all my money on it....and the thing is incapacitated atm.

Buy a shit one, maybe... Buy a good one and you should be right, pretty standard running running costs of any performance cars...

It's just when things go bad, it can get ugly...

But after owning mine for a year, only basic servicing costs have been there

Yeah it should be right. If I do FIFO I'll only be home like 5 days a fortnight so really how much am I even going to want to drive? Haha will have that many jobs on the house to do before I can do anything!!!!

Benji I havent bothered even reading this but thought I would offer you a cup of STFU :)

It's in your best interest :yes:

That yellow one looks pretty good actually. But I have seen yellow 33s that seem to have a pastel type yellow that I'm not a huge fan of... There probably rare like yellow 34rs too?

    • Yeah it is really until until you get a feel for it....then it is easy. Which is no use to you really. I'd buy that torque wrench. One thing from sure, many (most?) tyre shots overtighten the f**k out of wheel nuts, so don't worry if they were tighter when you tried to take them off compared to when you do them up. I've had some crazy tight ones come back from shops, quite apart from the potential damage to the thread, I can't see a smaller person taking the wheel off on the side of the road
    • Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov
    • On sale mate, $55. Sorted. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-torque-wrench-1-2-drive/565734.html?utm_content=paidsearch-pmax&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwytS-BhCKARIsAMGJyzqYEnwWmhWf6gxTST_Nz06Gd2VePgyvL7lh6PWrQtbjXTsI6TqSCLEaAuaCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
    • Slap it and say it ain't going no where, you'll be fine.
    • So the whole rb25de neo setup was a tiptronic setup and i swapped everything over to my rb20de neo setup and yes even the cluster of the rb25 was swapped over.
