more baller status

Took it for a wet street session last night, open diff, no handbrake was interesting, i got home and noticed my drivers side wheel poking. Somehow the hub bolts on bottom of coilover have come loose and moved back in under the stress of slideways and i'll have to try move them again and fix it up.

Got new seats last night!

Recaro SR3 fakes, f**k genuine seats ima get defected anyway haha. Suede and comfy as hell!

In 2 weeks or so roughly, car will be taken off road to under go mass overhaul, so keen!

[Samgrainger32]

seats look cool! you'll regret taking it of the road you'll be like me and finish one thing and start another haha

[skyline32sup]

Yeah maybe so, but i've got everything i need now, just help from mates. Once we get turbo setup on, and intake side done, Fabulous fabrication will come do me a dump pipe and all cooler piping + new system and then i'll just get ECU and tuning done should be only 3 months hopefully haha. Only doing it as it will save me over a thousand dollars instead of paying someone haha, but yeah ill miss streeting

[skyline32sup]

so this weekend, measured up how much room roughly i have to fit turbo, where piping will have to go, and all that jazz!

9

Also got my lines for my turbo setup, all braided lines, with heat wrap and genuine speedflow fittings!

Since my cars been hesitating since day one, we had alook at the fuel pump in the tank and found a majority of the problem! They cut the hardline to fit a bigger pump and the rubber line wasn't meant for fuel and just had seen better days, so went down to repco got free fuel line LOL and off we went! Its semi fixed now, cant still fully hit boost but hopefully be sorted this weekend, got new plugs, O2 sensor and can also borrow another S2 ECU see how it goes, as we want it 100% fixed before the overhaul.

also had to custom cut the rear to fit S2 lights, and they look baller! the pained the sections that had been cut with anti rush paint.

a picture with me and my mate jack in his nearly bought streetkarnage a31 ceffiro, cleanest ceff i've ever seen and is nice to drive too.

well been a while since i updated



basically took the covers off the rb25 to look at the internals and cams were scored, pretty bad



so then decided id get a reco head, im going to be pushing 300+ kw and dont want to have shitty internals. Bought a recod 25 head, with oil feed tapped in for 25/30 build, contemplated it but yeah didnt.


anyway, later on that day we took the head off completly and well....




pistons scored, piston walls not good nic either. I was pretty pissed at this stage, anyway then i was like well bottom end rebuild was on the cards, got some figures and it wasnt feesable ( just lost my job @ start of new year )

anyway, had some money still cause im an amazing saver, and i saw a built rb25 come up for sale, with tomei 264 cams, valves and what not had been done in top end. New MLS headgasket and studs and had only done 2 track days and made 300kw. went and saw it running, was mint. so i bought it.

pulling the 25 block out, and new motor in background with my bolt ons



and heres the 25 with my garret 3076r on a 6boost manifold.


Ive now decided im going to paint the car and bay and tidy it all up, Bay will be pink and car will be black. Got alot of shit to do, but slowly getting there!

pick up my new daily, sold the s13 and f**king done with sr's oh my god dont get me started. buying a r31 will pig it for a daily.

[toffy]

Woo , this thing is coming along nicely!

[skyline32sup]

cheers toffy, if only i could keep a job it would be done quicker lol

[skyline32sup]

well this has been a few months, ill try to remember.

basically, not long after the last update, we had a month to vacate the current house so i moved and had an old style garage now, so i can leave as many marks, stains etc on the floor, so took a photo no long after

then it was a garage ornament for a while, as i bought a new daily to mess around with and make money off. a dirty31 was a mission to get as me and my mate jack was told it was in lismore, we live north brisbane, so we left brisbane at around 6:30 got to lismore like 9:30 then he says its at " dunes " 30 min inland, like all rural, anwyay get there, and buy it for 1900. had s13 conversion, camber top coilovers, locker, manual, hydro, centreline 14x7-11, exhuast etc had a few minor issues. we missioned home, ran out of fuel at the border, both our phones died, trying to find a petrol station in nsw is f**ked, like they cant make signs properly, anyway found petrol. Then temp gauge was reading 100+ degrees, pulled over checked it all out didnt seem hot, anyway didnt get home till 3:30am had to be up @ 5am for work, wasnt fun.

had it for a few months, fixed most of the shit wrong with it, put some nemotos on it, slammed it, wet weather warrioring everywhere, then this happened..... caught me skidding out of an off ramp, got done for defects and " not incontrol of vechile " woo!

then sold it for 3500, so good profit!

anyway now daily a n15 pulsar... )))))

back to laurel....

bought bulk parts

new xpurt 1000cc injectors!

in this time had sent my rack away to get moved forward 25mm, then put lock spacers in

had a thought, figured theres nothing else fake on this car, so bought genuine defis ( boost, oil press, oil temp and control box )

just hardparking

engine nearly ready

its now off at the paintshop getting full paint job + engine bay done, wont say what colour will show that later.

i also picked up some autech skirts from JDM garage, while i was buying them 3 guys rocked up, so considered myself lucky lol. not much else happened really, once its back will drop engine in, box etc and get it ready for tune/fab work!

[skyline32sup]

well, car is all now painted and i wont reveal it until completely done!

um yeah so, i bought a cef sunroof cage (unsure if ill keep it, is streeting it and hits my table which is kinda shit)

some goodies come from the motherland inc my nardi and boss kit

more c33 weathersheilds with all clips etc

dmax boot spoiler i got painted, was gonna go bcl but everyone is rocking one in QLD now so rather not follow a trend

and my NEW KFS! 18x9.5 -27

and a test fit

about 35mm poke on stands, once a shorted rear lca and put it on the ground ill work the guard and camber work

new pbm coilovers and rear camber arms

passenger view, and defis chilling

also bought an eboost 2 which ill mount where the clock is on the dash surround, a nismo 4.1 2 way and some local solid cradle bushes. Ive ordered bulk stock from PBM inc knuckles, lca, ten, toe, traction so should be all the gold!

now, got the engine all fitted in, all the lines fitted, and sorted. I had to get new ARP flywheel bolts as the old flywheel bolts on my old motor were m10s not m12 (weird i know dafuq?) cheers to the boys * iain and jack """""

strking a pose for all the twelvies

all in! hoping to have solid rear end + all arms in before christmas and 2 way and height/camber sorted. slowly getting there..............

[skyline32sup]

[random1jzmx83]

Nice build man, curious if you have test fitted the weathershields yet?? I have tried to get a couple sets now but always get out bidded. The ones I bid for are a 2 piece set tho and are metal rather than plastic.

[skyline32sup]

ive had a set before, ive got 3 sets atm. oh you have the chrome stip above the top of the door?

[random1jzmx83]

Yeah mate that's the one, goes all the way along each side. I don't have a pair but every time I try to snap some up from yahoo I get out bid by someone else lol.
