I was hoping for a sleeper build........

You want proof? Cause I have it lol

Always amuses me when people talk about GM products being over built. I know for a fact that the 5 speed getrag behind the v6s was only designed for 300Nm and 145kW.

Each to their own I guess. I do think they're is a place for it.

white lettering can work in some cases i think. i.e:

Modify the lid with an input and output, run another pump and radiator: cool your coolant while your cooling your coolant.

Agree with Hak on this one. Although I would do as much as possible to baby the trans until I had the coin for a rebuild then go nuts on it till you end its life in a orgasmic explosion of gears and oil that any gearbox slung behind a 454 deserves.

I've done sydney to melbourne in my skyline about 4-5 times now and hasnt been an issue. Admittedly they aren't GTR seats but I have a bad back and even with coilovers its quite comfortable. Although I have had a lot of passengers surprised by how nicely it rides, a few people didnt believe it...

Is the foglight opening going to be a big enough intake? Just curious or are you going to have a second feed?

Just as a tip to people this may not always be this easy. Nice write up Dirb but just as a warning to people when I did mine one was reasonably easy the other one sat in a 30 tonne press for half an hour resisting all attempts to remove it. Copious amounts of wd40 and patience were needed.

*sits and waits for this list to become a massive list because thats what always happens* lol

Yeah it cost me $300 for the 4 heater hoses as they were a special order that the dealer had to bring in from japan. I'll probably replace all the other hoses at the same time but with silicone as I can't really justify the price to get all the others through Nissan. Probably helps that yours...

How are all your coolant hoses looking? Just asking because I had a heater hose let go on me the other day and am having to get them brought out from japan through nissan. Apparently they are the only 4 hoses that no one does an aftermarket replacement for.

To be honest if i was having to drag a guy from a big block impala id probably think the same lol

given your work on this and the impala i'd say the chances of it turning out a stunner are pretty damn high

that is the classiest vn/vp ive ever seen by a long way.... i had to add the long way because of the state of most vn/vps

I take your point about the slotted rotors just wasn't sure if you had planned this for track days or not hence the question. I do believe this is somewhat car dependent as some cars are more prone to cook their brakes which would make slotted rotors much more suitable. That and two piece rotors...

Each to their own I guess. On my old commodore they made a big difference but then I drive down mt ousley everyday.

Can't be bothered with slotted rotors or don't need em?

This is the sort of thing that makes me respect what your doing even more so: you think something can be done differently and better than the way most would do it. Even if it doesn't work out quite like you expected you still try and make it work. Basically that's the sort of attitude that has...

I once had to re-do some bog on a rocker cover for my old commodore so I can totally relate.....

its called "hotside inside"... basically just swap your inlet and exhaust valves. The audi runs this setup in their current le mans car

yeah this feature is definitely just to warm up the rear tyres for the 1/4 mile run. I swear the guys in the video at trying not to laugh when they are saying this lol

Remove engine from GTR and replace fluffy with rb26..........

Am i the only person most confused as to how people get 5000 for the maths question?

Yeah that video makes me shooting rabbits at 200m with a .22 off a bipod look incredibly amateur lol edit: just so you all know im not a fan of taking long range fluke shots but there was no wind and mate bet me i couldnt get it......

Yeah I didnt bother looking for the bullet info lol... My drop for a 4 second shot was 78.5m neglecting wind resistance so your calculator would be a lot more accurate, still they are reasonably (if you call a few meters reasonable lol) close

How'd you get the 97m out of curiosity? From the video flight time was about 3 seconds v=u+at v= 0 + 9.81 *3 final velocity = 29.43m/s v^2=u^2+2as s=29.43^2/(2*9.81) s=44.145m Total bullet drop = 45m Angle needed= 2.68 degrees = 47.8 mil Thats just basic physics although feel free to correct...

skids in the lidcombe station carpark will do that to a diff....

You could also run a second hose to your inlet manifold.... Essentially the poor mans NOS

What is peoples obsession with green? I understand some people like green but all im seeing is green...... lol maybe you mentioned back in the thread a bit that you wanted green i dont remember :)

I'm going to take it that people dont like the black idea lol

not talking about matt black just not a real glossy black.... as per above photo

What about a flat black colour with a really dark wood for the bed?

Coilovers and bigger swaybars? i'll just wait for you to try and slap me for saying coilovers lol

Saw that photo of the turbo with the bellmouth on my facebook feed and was positive I had seen that engine/car combo somewhere before lol my suspicions were correct

I'd say that bolt would be alright as long as you don't tighten it too hard. An 8.8 washer and you could tighten the crap out of it.

I really want to try this now lol

dat ass....

Wait you got defected for a recirculating blow off valve??? It doesn't surprise me to be honest lol
