So I worked it out haha, wasn't that hard in the end,

This is my build, everything single thing done to the car is done at home, including building the motor(other then machining)

Except for the diff witch I thought would be a good idea to send out and get built by a pro,this was the first time I ever went to a mechcanic and it's the last, I got the diff back, checked it and it was completely out of tolerances. Sent it back, still not perfect. Next time il be building the diff my self like I have in the past.

Basically building the car from ground up, every single bush has been replaced. basicaly every single bit in the drive line will be new.

Let me know what you think

Cheers

I like it. I agree diy for the win. I rarely pay mechanics to do anything either. What size is the turbs is that the arms 7960 or 8270? Did you also remove the vct? What cams?

yeah exactly, I went with the m8270 with pon cams and yeah I removed the vct, I didn't really want to but I didn't want to pay 600 for a new vct gear because my original one was stuffed, and I'm running double row valve springs so I don't think a new vct would last very long, ( I can't stand vct tick even though it's safe, that noise just makes me cringe lol)

Fair enough. That should make pretty decent top end power. Good luck with it and hope you get it finished soon. See you on the track[emoji106]

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
