Hey Sydneykid,

Just looking at your front bar, looks very different to mine. What year and spec is your Staj??

Ken

Hi Ken, the build date was February 1997 and it's a base model, no woodgrain, no sunroof/s, no sat nav or TV. I picked this one because of the front bumper and headlight design and the blue colour.

It needs shocks real bad and it was owned by a smoker (not usual for Japan) so it reaks. But nothing that 2 days with the steam cleaner won't fix. A couple of days geting the scratches polished and/or touched up and the LHS rear (white door) painted, then it will be ready for rego. Add 1 tow bar and away we go. :cool:

Hahaha, the foot brake still freaks me out when I use it !!

This weekend I'll be able to confirm if R34 GTT mags fit and clear everthing, I'll grab some pics as well just so you can see how/if the fill the gaurds etc..

SK - (a bit off topic), how did your fabricator go with making up a tow bar ? I'd be keen to buy one if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

The Stagea is still in the panel shop and I haven't had a chance to get the tow bar measured up. We had a hectic few weeks of racing, one car dropped a diff, it was on the way out, no loss. Another copped a severe over rev (14,000 rpm +) due to a missed shift and another blew a head gasket (no, I didn't assemble that engine). Thankfully the other 2 ran like clockwork all weekend. :wassup:

I you want, I will ask how much to make 2 both at the same time. I can then send it down or you can pop up and get it fitted. Anyone else want a 2.2 tonne capable tow bar? Maybe a group buy chance here. :(

Jeff at C-RED knows what fits and what dosent, I am looking at putting 19 inch Budnik's on http://www.budnik.com/techInfo.asp you can find the way to work out the exact wheel size you can use for any brand on any car.

Wheels are from http://www.ziggyshotrods.com in NSW, 19 inch BILLET'S.

Sounds good. 2.2 tonne is a damn big one !! I was looking at something around the 1.5 max, but I suppose it won't matter ;) I'd be interested in what sort of $$$ he can do one for fitted and also unfitted. Funds are slowly running out after buying the car ;)

Thanks

There seems to be 2 specs of tow bars these days, one around 1.2 tonnes for box trailers, bike trailers, tinnies and the like. Then there is the big one around 2.2 tonnes for car trailers, caravans and big boats. More info next week inc prices when I get a chance to get ours registered.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
