Worst Modifying Experience

[Nismo 3.2ish]

farking MODS,haha

[Anfanee]

WELL HERE WE GO....

Bought GTR

After 3 months Motor went Bang, cracking pistons, shattering valves, it did a really good job.

Fully rebuilt engine, decided to leave standard turbos because yolo (just for the run in stage, kesh was low)

On the way home from Full rebuild running the engine in and not boosting it i spat exhaust wheel of one of my turbos out my exhaust.

Got new turbos

AFM died on the way home.

finished run in

TPS died on the dyno

Fixed TPS

Split a rad hose

Fixed hose

ran for a while

Lost half my oil

Fixed everything again all is running better than ever!!!

until.

Got shit fuel two weeks ago and was misfiring on 14psi...

Cracked the shits, Haltech, no AFM, and E85

what will go next?

But i have never had a flat tyre. So i got that going for me.

Having had stoof like that, i still wouldn't trade the car for the world. I love it so much.

Bought and installed brand new sard 540cc twin spray injectors, came in as a kit specifically for rb25, they are white

Engine ran rough, also sounded like Wrx throughout the entire rev range

Tried trouble shooting think one may be faulty, bought a spare injector and still the same

New owner put it into a 2jz aristo, punched the numbers in ecu, fired up, all silky smooth... They're a waste of time on skylines but fine on toyotas

Sard 550 reds were good in my old car

Hi Anthony

Made my eyes water

[Kinkstaah]

Seems I need to post a TLDR version here.

Will maybe write it out if I can remember it all

Had car for 7 years

is a daily (lol)

Done 27,000kms total in 7 years

This car is on

its 2nd chassis

its 5th engine (and third rebuild)

its 9th fuel pump

its 2nd diff (and set of axles!)

its 3rd set of suspension

its 4th? transmission

its 3rd ECU

its 3rd turbo

its 3rd (sort of) manifold

its 3rd fuel tank

its 4th set of tyres (in 27,000kms?)

its 3rd set of brakes (as in set of front calipers, discs)

its 3rd exhaust

as you can imagine, the non TLDR version of this is very long

..and still going

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Holy Shit !

Hope you like working 3 jobs. to pay for this lot?

I take it you also track the car or you would be in jail by now going through that lot on the road or do you run sly grog

Is it still your DD, got some pics?

Wow Greg that is true dedication! Out curiosity, have you worked out total cost of ownership ($ per km)? I've got mine for this and the previous car and they ain't pretty...

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Hi V28VX37

What is the cost per Klm, sounds scary

I am getting worried, not really mine is a DD and will not cop the heavy shit you blokes put on your cars , well maybe a little

All the kms done were cruising kms below the speed limit, off boost. Well not all, but relative to most people on SAU I really do drive like a grandpa.

I'd like to take it to the track one day, but the car has never been working.

It is currently sitting at an engine builder shop, with the engine entirely dis-assembled.

As for $ per KM, it's certainly somewhere around $2

$2 a KM , haha that would stop you going to the shop for an ice cream

If what you say is true (bullshit I think) I would change mechanics , maybe you are using a carpet layer to do this work for you or ,LOL

[Anfanee]

I'm currently sitting at $10 per KM hahahahahaha]

Shit.

[Nismo 3.2ish]

I'm currently sitting at $10 per KM hahahahahaha]

Shit.

When this build is done I will be around $27 PK , only because I have not done a shit load of Klms

[GTR_JOEY]

Stop ya sooking pete.. I'm up to my 5th engine now

[Nismo 3.2ish]

But you have more money than sense:)

How come you have not got it right by now, 5 motors???

If mine is not as I want it , I will be sooooo pissed off

But I am sure it will be and then some

[GTR_JOEY]

Lol I don't know where u got that money idea from

Never actually spent the time to build an engine right mate.

With GTRs you need to do it right the first time or it will bite you in the ass

[GTR_JOEY]

And you can't beat driving a GTR... And I mean an RB

So I'll never sell it

[Nismo 3.2ish]

HAHA, get married , a couple of rug rats, extra mortgage , etc etc and goodbye GTR , hello Holden/Ford VW

[Fingerling]

I'd like to put in my $0.02c and suggest.. the f**king silver dash. I mean seriously. Half the interior photos and sale threads et al have it, and it's infuriating. My car is also tarred with this.

Why yes, I did let my kindergartener suggest and paint my interior!

Whoa!

Ok so the Skyline's sitting at around $1.25/km and the Monaro was $1.90/km, all inclusive.

It doesn't sound that bad until you consider that at $2/km:

• Melbourne to airport return costs $100 (50km)
• Melbourne to Geelong return costs $300 (150km)
• Melbourne to Sydney one way is $1,760 (880km)

Oh well, cars. But ouch.
