Few snaps Ive taken whilst I attempt to take apart most of the car myself in preparation for paint n panel. The A31 panels are much easier to install & remove than my old S13, having less bolt and the bolts are in a much easier position to get to. The rear end is quite easy to take apart aswell... the only bugger I had was getting the tail lights out because they had a shtload of silastic on them!

Although I brought my car as an absolute shitter with alot of panel damage I was happy to see that there hasnt been a front or rear end hit before.

I will continue to update pics as I go along!

Yeh but the 2k price tag is so worth it for not having the hassle of shit fitment!

My kit was 1k and sticks out to the sides, needed heaps sanded off the sides and doesnt have pre drilled holes.

I would def go for a genuine kit next time just so I dont have the hassle :P

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Thats the current state of the reo. Bit ew, but GTR Reo and supporting bars are $2000, and 2nd hand GTT ones are $1000... More engine disassembly. The good news is   Various LS weird sounds are apparently normal Everything coming out is in perfect condition The bad news is: Everything coming out is in perfect condition It looks like whoever assembled this engine ~25,000km ago was telling the truth with what's in it and how they did it. Even things I was unsure of like the timing chain - But it's a brand new double row timing chain, spaced perfectly. They even cut up the stock windage tray to keep it instead of being lazy and to work with the baffle. Cam, Heads, springs, LS7 lifters, Pushrods - All look new and have obviously been working perfectly. In other news, we removed the pineapples that were loaded below the superpro subframe bushes. They look a fair bit munted and have deformed the poly bushes that are 'above' them. I'm telling myself that now that there's space 'under' the bush between the little cup that bolts in... that having a pineapple wedged there was bad and basically made the rear end solid. The pineapple and the superpro bush are ... equally deformed (i.e they have deformed one another from being smashed together). We'll see how it goes with bushes only. I am sure this cope will fail and the answer will be to drop the subframe and put nismo rubber bushes in there instead. $400 worth of gaskets and ARP head bolts to replace perfectly new looking gaskets that absolutely weren't leaking  and were installed perfectly with great care - because god damnit.

      Why bother? Keep them under 1bar and be happy, I had it for 10 years and never had an issue. once you go beyond that the budget blows out fast and then keeps on blowing out

      I'd still recommend rebuilding the turbos too. That will eat up a lot of the budget especially if you aren't willing to put in the labor to R&R the turbos yourself but it's a huge risk to ignore it at this point.

      Yep, agree with all of the above added on too. I just love the age old "what boost were you running?" Question without getting any other surrounding data. IE, may have ran 20psi, and lived for 12 years, but it was an 80 year old granma driving it to Bingo once a week and never took it over 2500rpm.
