Greetings from the far away lands of Canada! LOL

To be quite honest, in Canada, there are very few web boards that are as knowledgable as you guys in AU! Much props !

Being that this is one of my first posts here, I hope I'm not being a dumb newb and posting in the wrong section :wassup:

Well it's been a long month an a half journey to get this done. The car is still in progess since the car is running on a z32 ecu temporarily as we are waiting for one to get reprogrammed.

Car: 1989 Skyline R32 GTS-T Type M

Swap: RB25DET + a whole lotta other great shiet.

Paint: Satin Black. I assure you guys the car is not painted with spray cans. It does indeed have a clear coat on it

Interior: JIC Magic Seats, DEFI/Nardi/Apexi goodies etc

Enjoy. All comments welcome.

If you look carefully, we actually cut a pretty huge section out and made a "sinking" aluminum plate for the battery and the piping to go right through.

What use is bigger piping if you dont have a bigger TB? Q45 TB :rofl:

And here is a pic before anything was done. This was when we were trying to fit the front bumper and side fenders. We ditched the fenders cause I didnt like how it looked.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
