Sourced a near perfect condition intercooler through Aaron @ Import Monster (who also sourced most of the other bits I needed), finished off all the piping and dropped in the airbox and power steering pump.

I can only now appreciate what you have done here (and in your bnr32 build thread) after I am 9 months into my first build...

You make it fkn hard not to envy you!!!

Well done indeed mate

Thanks mate :) Your build is looking awesome glad I am not the only one with a serious addiction to GTRs!

The suspension setup at High Country wasn't right so I have been playing around with rebound, slow and fast bump settings. Car is starting to feel really good and confidence inspiring so will be good to get back out on the tarmac rally tracks to see if its getting close.

Aaaand a little vid from last weekends SAU VIC DECA on the mega mini wang. They tell me she ran the fastest time for the day so something must be starting to work.

Wow that was quick! Is there going to be more in the thread?? Love the outcome, good work bud

Cheers. Yeah very much a retrospective build thread, I will update it with development of the car and results as it goes forward.

And this is probably my favourite shot so far. Awesome to be able to look back at that bare rolling shell and a shot like this.

Almost looks like Need For Speed or GT3 or something.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
