Lol. I don't even want to know how much all of this has and will cost down the line.

The $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$s, gone, haha

You are dead a long time, do what you want now :)

You see blokes spending $50k+ to get a second off there already fast car. Cars that have had $200k spent on them over the years, then sell them for $85k

There are blokes on this forum that have spent a shitload more than mine will ever cost and then start all over again, all good.

Some blokes just piss it up against a wall or toss it at the TAB, whatever makes you happy :)

Not having a go man. All I mean is, because of my middle class Pay check I would not be able to justify spending that much money in one hit.

Sure if was rich I would splurge. But yet again I would be spending my money wisely.

I know what you are saying, no probs mate :)

But thats why I can do this, I spent my money wisely and worked my butt off , I do not owe anybody a penny and just want to do something a little silly, but something I get pleasure out of.

When I have my car I drive it just about every day, I get a shit load of fun out of it, money well spent, love it :wub:

It is even going to be better fun soon :banana:

LOL @ this guy! Are you serious mate? I don't know what Petes bill was BUT it'd have to be starting at $30K+ im pretty sure thats enough to be classed as a high end customer!

Sure there is blokes/GTRKAT that throw bucket loads more money at those blokes than Pete did does that mean he deserved a car that wasn't setup right from the beginning does it?

Don't get butt hurt over it.

No one said he deserved the issues he has encountered.

More money than most, probably. high end build? not really in the scheme of builds.

I'm not taking anything away from the quality and quantity of parts that he has either.

You're the one who that categorized it

It is just a car, a bit of fun that sometimes can give you the shits. Just like marriage, but still less expensive,LOL

'Gtr and marriage' somehow they don't go well together

I can believe that, but thats OK I am divorced, LOL

That was before I started playing with GTRs

Don't listen to the haters!

LOL, no haters mate, all good :)

Everyone expected more than what the dyno showed, drives better than it looked, well up to 6000rpm, lol but it is still being tweaked.

I am not going for massive HP. It should be all done in a couple of months and I will post the results, well modifying months = ??

I have not driven a car that holds the road like this does after the driveline work I had done and I want to try some hill climb events. I believe there is one close at Wootton Way Bulahdelah, they had one in March but not sure if they do it often ??

Hill climbs are awesome....I'm up giving Neil a hand at the state champs at Grafton this weekend...Mick is meant to be heading up here too.

There is one at Buladelah and it is f**king awesome....imagine closing a 3 lane road and letting people drive up it at full speed. A few others around like Bathurst, Huntley in Wollongong etc

Should be a blast, Have you done some of these events ?

Been having a look at some of the events, Wootton Way looks like a great road and to be able to use 3 lanes, DREAM RUN :)

They get a good mixture of cars in these events and if I ever get to do them, someone will be happy when I grab the wooden spoon off him, lol

I had it in my mind that Wootton Way was a little country road, more like the Lakesway going into Forster from Bulahdelah, now that would be an interesting Hill Climb doing a couple of the Hills on the Lakesway. Much tighter corners I think, it is a fun road and puts a smile on your face, but one lane for normal driving, still fun :)

When I pick my car up I am going to have a look at the Wootton Way road to see what it is like first hand. I know there has been a bit of drifting done there.

Any news Pete?

It was put on the Dyno yesterday after the Dump was installed, so should have a result later today, not sure if I will get a dyno graph , I would like one ?

Still no news on the water leak but they will be doing a pressure search when the tune is done, THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE LEAK AS I WRITE THIS :)

But getting close and I am looking forward to see if the bigger dump and Cat make a difference to the tune and if it spools a little earlier. There seems to different opinions regarding this but most say for a turbo, the bigger the better and none is even better :)

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
