Hi all,
Very long time reader (10+ years), first time poster (and account created).
Figured it was about time I made an account so I can post my travels and comment.
Currently own a R32 GTS (na shell with RB20DET [73u, not a DE+t]) First 2 pics are of how I got it.
Came with the below:

  • Nistune
  • 1000cc Injectors
  • FMIC
  • Bigger fuel pump (forgot which one)
  • TD05 18g (antisurge)
  • Z32 MAF

Making 239rwkw

3rd Photo is how its sitting waiting for paint at the moment.
Since I've had it, i've done the following:

  • BC Coilovers (DS w extreme drop kit)
  • R33 GTS-t Brake set up (braded lines, dbc rotors, intima ss pads), running a BM57 brake master
  • 5 stud set up all round.
  • R200 4.11 LSD (out of a stagea), 5 half shafts out of a 33 gts-t
  • JSAI GTR front bar, Carbonetics GTR grill, GTR bonnet conversion
  • Genuine set of door cards (sedan door cards are the worst to find)
  • R33 GTR wheels

Still to do:

  • Refresh a non hicas R32 subframe I bought
  • Re-wire some of the bay (there's a weird issue that has a wire coming directly from the alternator to the battery light in the dash. Battery doesnt charge if its not connected)
  • Fix the reverse lights (currently hardwired from battery, to reverse switch, to tail lights to pass the RWC I never had to get lol)
  • Hopefully sort some A/c out as I have no AC parts.

Currently it is sitting at a mates resto shop where he has installed a new quarter panel from another shell I previously bought.
If all goes well, it will be at All Jap Day in Adelaide on the 26th of Feb.

Cheers,

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
