Okay. So I ended up finishing my s13 build and the total build cost from non rolling she’ll to complete and drifted. Only once sadly. Was the same amount. $3390. And due to unforeseen circumstances I had to sell it. Plus I decided I wanted an r-chassis. 
So I sold it for $3000, $500 less then what I was asking. But for what was done I thought it was a very reasonable price.

Later that week. I decided enough was enough I needed a new car asap, well a project at least. So I went out and found my self a 1993 r33 gtst complete shell. With a small spot of surface rust on the roof and a small rust hole in the boot well were the only real problems minus missing all running gear (motor box Ecu fuel pump) and on standard suspension I was expecting much worse but for $800 I was overall very happy with this purchase.

This shell has mint paint a very shitty front bar. So that was the first to go. 
Sold it the night I bought the shell home. And then it was off to look for another one. I picked up a r33 gtr front bar pair of wheels 18x8.5 +32 20mm spacers and a s2 Wing for a steal of $200. So that after noon I fitted the front bar. With minor modification i got it to fit great nice and flush. I’m planning on using the 18 inch wheels I got as skid wheels for when I get it drifting along with their standard 16s they came with.

So plans for the car are to street register it and drive it mainly for weekends and the odd trip to work and home and drifted when I wanted to while keeping it very reliable.

Any advice that can be given I'll take and the same with criticism good or bad.

@mikha1.

Got oem skirts and don't like the look of gtr wings haha.

Eyelids are coming off though. Not what I like to see on cars. But thanks for the comment on the base

Started stripping the engine bay for a quick respray in the coming weeks but due to slamming my wrist against the strut tower and it swelling to the size of a ballon. I've stopped. Any advise on how to remove brake booster??

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
