Lol upgrading? hmmmm! updating maybe! newer isn't always better, I'm sure if I ever want a slow big family car a m35 would be the first on my list .

Only joking guys :) I got love for ya all ;)

Bigkev let's have cruise soon , even if I haven't got the new diff and cradle set up in the good stag done nill bring the stocky out

Check if snow car. Underbody rust.

Service history, because lack of will result in premature turbo death, which, is inevitable at some stage. Check all driveshafts, boots, and suspension bushings. Particular ones flog out. Wheel bearings.

Check CD player and AC is working. All windows work, motors flog out.

I'm sure some others will add other points.

Look forward to getting your Autech AXIS!

Two can shit stir mate!

Something else broke so I have a couple of things to fix then cruise time.

Dude, a c34 is far from a fun car to work on lol.

Ok great times yes, but 2 manual conversions, both turbos off of the 260, moving crank with no timing belt... They have given me a few head aches!

Like the c34, any rust points more seriose than others? And what are common problems with these?

I know a turbo is quite a common drama, but how hard is it to do yourself?

This ones cheap as f**k... It has to have some dramas....

Classic! Chef's back on the wagon he he! I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that your are buying your fourth, or that I have had the same one the entire time! Welcome home :-)

I've done both those things at the same time.

Watch out for those cracked subframes Chef

C'mon guys, he's after performance, not an empty wallet. He went with the stronger and more reliable engine.

I haven't died yet Daleo, my subframe has refused to crack, even after many track thrashings running sticky semi's. I have no idea what you Sydney guys are doing to the subframes to cause those hairline cracks...

Perhaps you should see our roads... :woot:

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
