To be brutally honest - you picked a bad time to buy a GT-R

The good cars are overpriced, and there is a lot of very average stuff out there for 30+ grand, which is just nuts - most don't appear to be selling either

Forget about insurance too

I have plenty of suppport from people around me who own GT-Rs. Your point on insurrence, I may just have to legally put the car under my dads name and just pay the bills for him.

I understand now may be a bad time but again I've got the 18 moths so who knows what can happen in that time. I understand that issue and I'm comming here for your advice ane the advice of my close mates to ensure the decisions I make are going to be well made with your guidance.

I'm going for my L's on a bike and will use that as the daily. Super concerned over how easy it is to steal a GTR currently searching for a sophisticated security system. Thanks for your concerns no doubt I need to take all of them into account.

I'm sure I can come up with over 45,000 over a year and a half. I have no responsibilities for cash so I can invest it all into this project. Not sure if i mentioned here or somwhere else. I have 18 months until I start at kapooka, interms of accommodation and lifestyle I'm pretty well covered.

    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL
