yeah, my r32 is here.. u can see some pix at my website (see sig).. its going to need a bit of work here and there, but its fairly straight and not thrashed - when i get the RB25det in and stick a big turbo the fun times will begin :P

it's only just going in for compliance on friday, but should be on the road a couple of weeks after.

i use to work at a shopping centre for the management and one job i got doing was putting brightly coloured stickers onto windscreens of cars that had parked in the handicapped spots...........something like that would be a laugh

get some fluro warning stickers done up with the SAU logo on it and distribute them to the goldie residents of this board...........

why does it bother you if people want to pretend they own a GTR just because you own a real one? I think it more bruises your ego thinking your one of the few who own a genuine 33 GTR.

I think to you the whole thing of owning a GTR is just bragging rights, at the end of the day its a car, nothing that special about it, quit complaning about what others want to do with theirs.

And before you say anything I own a 33 GTR also for over a year, and I dont feel the need to run around telling everyone I own a GENUINE GTR!! NOT A FAKE!!!

How about a sticker that says...."If you can read this, you'll know I'm a fake GTR"

They sell the GTR badges at Autobarn. along with the crappy shopping list stickers.

My mates got a 383 stroker in a VH commodore with stickers down the door that say Milk, bread, cereal, toilet paper. But I spose when you got 600 hp you can poke a little fun sometimes.

i own a gts-t came with the gt-r bodykit on it yet when ppl ask me if its a gt-r or gts-t i tell them the truth ive even had some one tell me to put a gt-r badge on it i dead set nearly punched him out (****wit!!) few of my mates own some of the fastst and biggst hp gt-rs in qld i know 1st hand how much they have spent on the cars and how much it is degrading to see a gts-t with gt-r badges i saw a r32 skyline with badge and gt-r no. plates!!!! i was gonna pull him up and sus it out as he drove by its for sale so hopefully ill see it this arvo and i get the phone no. and everyone can ring him and yell down the phone ITS NOT A GT-R !!!!!!! will try and get pic too

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
