So today after 6 and a half months i got the phone call i have been waiting for! The GTR is complete. Full engine rebuild. Commence the running in phase...

That's an old photo... Task #1 clean it and take some new pics!

I'm waiting for that phonecall too.

Not only would it mean that I finally get to drive my GTR, but it would also mean that I owned one in the first place!!!

mmmmmm me Jelly...

Nice one! May it bring you countless hours of driving pleasure, and if it evers needs a babysitter, PM me !!! :thumbsup:

Ultimate tunes did it for me, ill post a full list tomorrow morning but full piston kit, top end rebuilt, fuel system rebuild, block bore etc... When i broke it the car had cracked 5 pistons (detonation) blown the head and f**ked half the valves.... Did a good job.

Good to hear you got your car back.

I may see you in my street visiting the blue Celica now.

I also ride past your house every day at 5.10 on the way home... keep an eye out for a red bike with a white jacket (y)... I was there in the GTR yesterday. Ill tell you what it's nice to have it back.

sounds good SIn, unfortunately i can't make it on Friday but ill be going both days on the weekend. By Japanese whaling fleet do you mean the big things known as Stageas?

If you see my car in the driveway feel free to stop in and say hello.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
