And one more update for the weekend.


Found this while sorting out all the parts that need to be relocated.

Forgot I bought it - Standard Airbox with Snorkel and new Blitz Filter Element. Getting rid of the K&N pod filter setup that it came with. No benefit at the power levels i'm looking at.

She has been moved into storage until the rebuild in July. Folks need to get some work done to their garage and they've let me store it in there for 7 years for which i'm grateful.

Thank god for having a mate with a big shed though!

Looking forward to some more updates mate! Awesome build!

With the engine build does that include labour to take engine out/in and tune? And how many different stages do racepace do?

Man nothing better looking than a black 32GTR. Epitome of TUFF!

I was thinking the same thing when you posted the recent pics of yours. Yours looks awesome with those skirts and wheels.

Great build mate, love the black GTR. Nice choice on the -9's too, if I had the cash they are exactly what I would use on my 260. Response and Power :)

thanks dude :)

Yes, that cost includes engine, out/in and tune. I started doing engine out on mine but then abandoned the idea as i'm poor for time atm and it will create too much of a mess for the workshop to work with

.

There is also a Stage 2 and that's a 2.8L (about 14K from memory). Dunno about Stage 3 but i'd say that'd be 3L? I'll ask next time i'm around there.

Black.
GTR.
Fitment.


So - now I'm jealous.
And I wish I had the money upfront to fix my GTR.

Saving sucks. :-(


She looks stunning mate. VERY clean, hope to cruise sometime.
Two black on black, with added black GTR's would be a cool sight. ;-)

any updates?

Not much to update atm unfortunately. Lifes been a bit hectic (in a good way). Got my bucks this weekend. Going to get married in mid June and honeymoon straight after that. Car and all parts are currently sitting in a large shed....waiting, waiting.

Will try and get to the car and sort out all parts and get the fuel system sorted, hopefully before the wedding, ready for the rebuild. N1 Engine is getting dropped off early July to begin the build, followed by the car when they need it.

Damn. This is the end, I was only just getting in to it. :(

Awesome build so far man, I can't wait until you start the re-build. :)

ETA on rebuild?

Spent some time yesterday at the cars temporary resting place, sorting out the parts. Removed the 17" TE37 that couldn't be balanced. Will drop it off this week to get repaired.

(all the stuff stacked behind the car front left to right are parts)

Well getting married this weekend so will be away from anything car related for a couple of weeks then.......REBUILD TIME!

In the mean time considering what to do about the seat situation.

Currently have twin Sparco Pro 2000's with custom seat rails by Meridian Motorsport. (not adjustable, bolted in)

Considering selling these and getting R34 GTR seats. I figure they'll be great for daily driving and tracks days too. Thoughts?? I'm not the biggest fan of the standard 32R seats.

Yeah R34 GTR seats are nice but there are other options too like recaro and bride. Hav a look around first.

Condolences on the wedding one step closer to death for you my friend......

joken..... Congrats and enjoy the day!

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
