So here we are, drive line was going in and communication has stopped, farking cars :verymad:

Do you call or email for updates out of interest? Surely they'd give you decent updates over the phone.

Yellow stagea would be nice....oooh I just happen to have one for sale. :woot:

Always a chance that this build would go into double extra overtime. Sorry to hear you are waiting for so long.

Shit happens, maybe I have been too pushy but it is taking soooo long, I cannot stand the nothingness I get back and no one will set a date, had a vague reference to , today, haha

  • Like 1

They send nothing, a nut would be good, so looks like it could get nasty , hope not, but shit happens :)

The trouble is they read all of this shit and I get the blame for what other blokes have said, the worst thing is, you blokes were right :/

I think I will trade the Tiida in so I can get another fun car, 4 door something and I do not give a shit how long it takes :)

was trying to make a joke, comparing sending single nuts with sending a single finger etc....

Unfortunately humour doesn't always convey.

And if they give you a hard time about what others have said, they seem far too immature.

Lastly, I don't think you're bugging them too much considering how far over the quoted timeframe they are.

Really hoping you get your car back soon.

And if you like fuel guzzlers, buy an emo x.

Sooooooo thirsty.

Hi Luke, I did understand the nut cracker, just forgot to respond,hahahha , a bit late :)

I really think I have been too tolerant and let it go too far before I lost it, that was only yesterday when I got nothing back to about 6 emails. Same this morning ?

They actually cracked a good one and finished their last email, " The Friendly Mushroom Farmer " I got a laugh out of that, but maybe it was not supposed to be funny, not sure now :/

Talk to these blokes and you could not speak to nicer blokes ??????????????????????????? email and ----------------------- ?

It is like trying to get an answer out of a brick and I could never understand why, maybe I am too thick or a dick ??

Anyway time will tell and I will have to do whatever I can to solve the problem ?

looking at doing the exact same thing, getting rob in nz to build nitto 3.2 stroker kit, hopefully it does take as long

Hahaha, I heard Rob is pretty good and his work #1 :)

I do not expect anything wrong with the work, everything they have done for me so far has been good.

Best of luck, let us know how it goes :cheers:

Whats going on old man, did u actually get your car back or did you have a heart attack. Seems too quiet in here

Hi Mick , they said it was close to complete, but ???? :/

Heart attack,imminent :(

Close to complete =have taken engine out.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

But Srsly, looked like it was coming along in the photos, hopefully more has been done.

Have you not heard of, Photo shopped :)

I have no idea where the build is at, 10 days ago the clutch was going in, so I figured , front diff, Trannie and that could be done in a day in this type of shop?

Getting the dump pipe ceramic coated at the moment, thought this could have been done as soon as the motor was in the car, but not sure how it works when doing this type of thing , this is what I would like to do with the farking car at the moment :bomb_ie: Wish I had kept my 350GT :(

Hahahahahahahhahahhahahhahahahaha, not farken funny :)

I am paranoid enough without your help, help is the wrong word, starts with H , hindrance, yeah thats it :)

Front diff is part of the sump, and would have been done before install.

The diff was assembled about 3 months ago, I put pics up

All of the components were there ready to go in, the last thing was the trannie but that was done weeks ago, so I thought it was a simple job for professionals, maybe it is done, but I would be the last to know ??

I farking hate doing mods and will never do them again, ever!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll forget about all the bullshit and pain once it's done.

I still for the life of me don't understand the 8.5:1 comp ratio business.

they said it was a good all round combo. Did not have head work except the OS valves and a clean up, maybe a better CR for a DD???

old school thoughts of lower comp higher boost?

I had 9:1 and loved it.

So responsive off boost(which it was a bit).

Nice and easy to putter around daily.

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 馃構 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
