Venom 100 cell Cat with 5' body with 3' flange because..................well because the car will benefit from it and I will reveal more in due course

thats it for now folks but stay tuned for more updates very soon :)

the passion

the thing I like about your resto/build is not settling. There is always something that needs fixing or bettering

if your like me you stand in front of your 32 and think that's not quite right I'll fix it. Or it would be better with .....

Sometimes just the little imperfections like the rear wing replacement rubber and rust proofing. I've done that but I'm sure a lot just let it go

the passion to make it the best you can and improving things over time (money and time permitting)

then going back over and making it even better still. Even with Robbies build (an ultimate one) he's still making it better

it never really ends and that's a good thing.

The things may get smaller and sometimes cheaper but even keeping it maintained is never ending

I don't ever think I'll park mine and think - That's it ! ..........I'm certain most with the passion would agree

To ever sell would be the worst due to the investment on all levels.

Kids leave (and sometimes a wife) but the GTR......NEVER........lulz

spot on mate.

Thats me in nutshell and the passion I have for this car is really more like a love affair (ha! so gonna say this to my beautiful wife now lol)

I'm very much a perfectionist and although I have an eye for detail I never intended to make my car just a show pony.

I always wanted to build the car with track work in mind but to also retain its drive ability but also have some looks to go with it

Building the GTR has always been a dream for me and to finally have the opportunity to realise this has been amazing

What is equally satisfying is sharing it with other enthusiasts like you and so many others

I have learned a lot already and keen to learn even more.

As research and technology improves I think there will always be something improve or to do with such cars.

As long as I have the spark and passion for this I will continue this project for as long a possible

Well said S!n. So true.

Good choice on the suspension Ants :D Cant wait to see whats next.

Oh Ants just a heads up. I have the same POD filters as you and you can get the filter element in blue. Makes it look heaps better. I think i got mine from nengun.

sweet. I've been looking for replacement ones too

Will take a look see

Nice job Ants. This build just keeps getting better :)

I noticed that you've got the Tomei Ti sustem on your car. How do you rate it? Do you think it's too loud? I was thinking of getting one for my car but I didn't want something that is too noisey.

Cheers

thanks mate.

The tomei Ti is sweet and yes its certainly louder than my old mandrel bent 3'in system but I like the noise.

It can be however, very drony after a long drive around the mountains lol

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
