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 :)

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
