The story goes, bought a project car.... 16 years ago now.

Its been stripped and placed in the back of the shed for to long.

I bought it in 2006, the plan was to tidy it up and use it as a daily, keep my 33 gtr for the weekend.

The last owner made it a sex spec 90s autosalon car. Vertex kit, white interior and strangely run on dedicated gas....

Its a factory manual turbo and bought for $2000....

Just recently ive bought full front end rubber kit, having the steering rack reconditioned, adjustable arms, new BC coils, and r33 gtst brakes n rotors.

At this stage im unsure what to do engine wise. i have a spare 20, 25 and 30.

25 makes the most sense but id love to open the bonnet and see the little 20 in there.

Hah, looking forward to see where you go with this.

Do you have more photos of the Stinger? It looks good, very much not the stock body kit?! They have always been meant to be a decent GT car. Once one stops judging it for being a Kia.

Also, how are you finding the R1 experience compared to the Skylines? They are meant to be nuts. Widowmakers.

I love the r1. Yes it's a beast but it's so smooth and beautiful to ride.

 

I've been super impressed with the stinger. Has everything in it and goes well. Few mods has woken it upⁿ

    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
