In two minds about my 2 preferred colours once I get the Masa BNR34 kit - the yellow as it is now, or full change to bayside blue like in my sig? Im so fickle - Ill go with the majority opinion lol - lemme know what u think - vote above and/or post comments :)

Some pics to help compare:

:D

Nothing says GTR like bayside blue!
Just like all the other Bayside Blue GTR's. Nothing says accident history like a colour change!

Yellow is a mad colour especially with black rims and accessories. Yellow all the way! How many yellow GTR's do you see, compared to blue?

My 2c

I voted yellow but damn that pic of the blue stagea looks nice.. I've always liked yellow with black bonnets and black or tint rims, red calipers, normal (non smoked) lights.

On the other hand blue with lots of (big) silver glitter and black or red pearl mmhmm!!

Either way nice freakin car ;)

Sorry guys .... but I am so fickle.... might even now have wasted everones 2 seconds spent voting coz it doesnt look like Ill be doing the Masa kit :D It dawned on me over the weekend that I was gonna be doing up a car that Id never get to drive!! (THE STAG IS THE MISSUS' CAR) So Ive reassessed my priorities (ie ME) and am gonna make my "project" the car I actually drive ... she sure as hell doesnt need 250 rwkw to drive the kids to school!! :D

Anyways - so I went and checked out the V35 skyline yesterday - and I'm switching projects entirely!!! Now thinking about bringing in a 2 door 350GT manual (silver, blue or black) and getting it twin-turboed (by XSpeed same way they recently did their 350Z!)... So this car:

But with this done to the VQ35DE:

So looking forward to this! But I'll still be a Stagea whore - just might be staying stock for the missus while I buy the V35 Coupe and mod that! Although might have to swap to a Series 1 stag to pay for the twin turbo setup I want on the V35 lol... anyone wanna swap series 1 for my series 2 with cash adjustment, or just buy my stag... seriously?

Oh - and some info for anyone wanting a 260RS... Causeway AutoWholesale have just this week slashed $10,000 off the price of their 260RS.... $39,990 and its yours. Took it for a drive and mmmmm RB26DETT goodness :rofl:

Oh and if anyone wants to take up my MASA front end intentions - so far the best quote i've had for the front end kit from a buying broker in Japan, including ordering, handling, all panels, all mounting bracket etc requirements, brand new OE Nissan headlights and indicators... was 272,929 yen = under $3500! (this is front only - I didnt get costs on sideskirts and rear coz they're ugly and was gonna get TakeLows rear kit)... Pretty dam cheap considering the headlights alone are over 100,000yen.. and if u picked up second hand lights here itd save even more. So if anyone wants the contact details just PM me... coz I had almost secured a free freight option (spare container space shipping in return for front window sticker sponsorship) - so only had then the fitting and painting to pay for... so could have got everything on the car and painted for prob around $5000.

:D

would you need an enginers cert for this kit as its fairly big structural change????

Yeah ud need one - but has already been proven ok so eng cert no prob - in fact one place - APS - does a "Twin Turbo Package" for this engine (done a few of them already on 350Z's - same engine) that is already ADR approved and legal australia wide - your car comes back provided with an Engineers Certificate and ADR sign-off already done! :D Check the twin turbo 350Z they did in the current issue of Fast Fours (June 2005 - 350Z on front cover)

:stupid:

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
