Yep have been doing a re-tooling. Feel guilty for the old sidcrome. Have had her for 25yrs, and was second hand then. Thought the kinchrome was pretty close to R33 gtr-lm spec championship blue.DSC_0290.JPG.2da6d7e527486b1461488b13ed0ee351.JPGDSC_0291.JPG.248a9ed41cfc8c91729f6b61c1a2269b.JPG

This a nice piece of kit

Hope the tools work the same in a different box. Might loose their experience? All the drawers undone for reasonably rude replies? Kizza?

Cant beat getting into a nice pair of draws, remember if there matching... she decided not you!!!

Pullers and bush paste? It's wide open for comments?.DSC_0293.JPG

Pullers, for that reli tight u know what..... and sometimes uv just gotta paste that bush, mabe by accident or mabe on purpose ?

My box, iv had it since 2006. Dani pedrosa in the top pic, nicky hayden bottom. Happened to be the same year hayden won the world title [emoji106]

Absolute beast for home. My bro would love the Moto gp action. All my good stuff is at work. Home only gets the retirements. It's a pain when I think I'll just get the? Oh it's in bibra lake. A quick 50 minute jaunt away:-(

The box is too gd to have at work, some asshole will only scratch it. I keep most of my gd stuff at home, just take the gd stuff i need in. Ideal for working on cars at home.

1st 5 scratches / dents hurt anything after that Meh

Thats soo true leave a loose spanner around for 5mins n it gets flogged off.

My dream is to have a 1001pce tang toolbox at home and at work i find the 2nd hand shop ( deceased estate) not that bad as thay are old quality tools with rust on them dont feel bad if it breaks rusts scratched dents or go's walkabout [emoji4]

The best hammers I have are from my pops shed and a heap I bought off a old English fellow at the markets who was also a sheety by trade. They don't leave dents in sheet metal. Nice flat faces. $5 bucks each and we talked tin bashing and the Beatles for a hour. Learned my trade from a old aussie fitter and Turner and a 60yr old English sheet metal worker. He used to make panels for old cars on a English wheel and sand bags with a wooden mallet. Could pull any solid geometry out of his brain but couldn't explain it much. He just knew what to do:-)

Theres not many people like that any more

I knew one in Brisbane and worked for him for a bit. It was great watching him shape panels and massage dents out

Dad is a electrical engineer and ended up doing computer programing converting all the gas turbine and power generation from analouge to digital to harness the information. Watched him build a boat out on the patio doing all the solid geometry 3rd angle projection [/img]and patterns bending and shaping the wood when I was a boy. He got me into the Nissan's when they were racing the hr31 gtsr and the gt-r took over in 1990.for Jim Richards to win the championship.Was all ford's up till then. Cams put 200kg on the 32 and limited them to 1.3bar when the coswoth Sierra was running 2.8bar. Nissan ran a huge motor sport program in the 80's early 90's in Australia. Exa series bluebirds George fury etc. Fred Gibson motor sport wanted to run in Japan at Fuji and Suzuka but Nissan said no.we do not want to be embarrassed. Rwd switch off the line so wouldn't snap half shafts. 1 4wd setting for dry and 1 setting for wet. The fastest gt-r s in the world from Australia. Skaife and Richards recond up to 700'hp on full boost.

When the 1.3bar rule cam in nissan moved into multiple cylinder tuning.  Each cylinder had its own fuel and ignition trim. So when they had it all figured out they actualy made nore horsepower than they did befor lol and for the endurance races they knocked the boost back to 1bar. They could safley get 4000 racing kms out of there rb26 @ 800hp in the early 90s.....most of the time they ran in rwd only but in the wet they actualy configured it to run 60/40 front bias to gelp pull the car out of the corner instead of pushing it out. 

P.s, ur dad sounds like a legend!

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
