Like everything is an inch thick in grime, should have really taken to it with a pressure washer first, but meh too late now.

can tell a butcher has been working on it though, that many stripped bolt heads over tightened bolts.. my temper is limited haha!

hopefully its going again tomorrow if burson's is open and i can get the last few things i need.

Will be fun to drive the old girl again and even more fun when its wearing the old LCA's and coilovers from my silvia.

Would love to throw an S13 rack in it also to get rid of bump steer, but im not quite that enthusiastic just yet.

Had my R31 tuned at Dr Drift's yesterday, 240 @ 13.5psi, 255 @ 15.5psi & 265 @ 19.5psi.

thats not bad, not bad at all! what kind of setup are u running in the R31? last tune i had (will not mention by who :domokun: ) was dissapointing and only reached 250rwkw @15psi . I know it is capable of more with the existing mods but was given more excuses yet again, so thats why i was waiting for Dr. Drift to come down, i didnt think he was coming till the end of the month? suppose i have missed him again???.......!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Melb at the moment. Not much in the way of mods, TD06 and that's about it. Rb25 doesn't even have VCT.

He will be in launceston in a couple of weeks.

oh and to update for my car. i have dropped off my re-designed cooler piping to a profered workshop to be welded up wich should save on lost time with blown cooler piping again.

i am very happy with the new setup. hi compression turbo for the win. while it lasts anyway.

got the seats in, spacers on and ps pump changed today. car is now going again.

all that is left is pod filter, mount battery, modify cooler piping, longer studs up front and fit speedo sender. (oh and chase a rattle in the rear that is shitting me!)

then it is ready to put on the market properly! actually starting to be quite a nice car, might even change my mind and keep it for a little while.

here are a few pics of the car

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
