James 32 Gtr Build

[RBMunkie]

Looking the goods mate. :-)

My GTR has a spun big end (pretty sure).. so I'm in for a rebuild too.


Wish I could have the shiny goodies you got.
Ah well, beggars can't be choosers.

Good luck with the build mate, damn clean silver R you have too.

spun big end yeah that sucks .

at least yours will be cheaper then my build you can keep it 2.6L i had no choice but to upgrade .

while doing the build i thought better make it good its the only time ill ever rebuild to this extent lol

cheers for the support good luck with your build and making shit shiny

[RBMunkie]

haha, I don't like shiny sh!t.
They look good.
But I like black.. and brushed surfaces, chrome isn't my thing.

Well - because I'm lazy I will be keeping my '26.
If I had an engine crane I'd be doing an RB30 build. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Goodluck man, can't wait to see vids. ;-)
