    I would rather not, Saturday mornings booze poos were more sex appeal.

    Its looking alot better than when i got it. Tape gone off boot lid where spoiler was and replaced with rubber grommets, Painted wheels satin black, tow bar removed and exhaust re done without cannon. But the exhaust will be overhauled again in the near future. I just made do with some bits from exhausts I made for the commodore for now to attract less police attention. Sounds HEAPS better now and quieter.

    My mate insisted on the long tail pipe, but I kinda like it now...

    Never expected someone on this forum to say a car looked better with a cannon and miss matched wheels...

    Long tailpipe is annoying, but I bet it sounded crap before. IMO looks decent

    should cut the tail pipe back and fit some nice twin tips to fill the gap

    Been on Road side assist this week. Haven't been driving it. We pumped someones tank dry at work the other day because they put a bit if diesel in it. So I thought the Piggish RB20de surly should handle any crap like that. Good news it burns it. Bad news is I have a Blue/white/grey ghost following me now haha!!

    I dont think I have made a list of things I have fixed yet, here goes.

    Exhaust
    faulty coil ( waste spark, made form commodore parts. Costed me $0.00 )
    Alternator **** itself
    Flushed cooling system. Ground is still orange from 3 weeks ago.
    Wheels match now
    Welded the thermostat housing I broke.
    replace interior light
    fixed headlight
    fixed headlight switch
    fixed gear shifter boot ( was on backwards, WTF? )
    Put the JVC 6x9's were they belong. In the bin.
    Replaced pod filter
    made mount for pod filter to stop it eating the car.
    removed un-needed air con condenser.
    removed hideous tow bar
    clean out boot, found a gear knob in rear 1/4 panel. Pro as!!!
    Fixed door locks ( they didn't work )
    replace radiator cap
    plugged holes in boot from spoiler.

    There you have it. RB25det fund at $410/$2250

    Yeah I will keep that in mind. I will build a 3in system for the 25det. People go bigger but even turbo 3.5 - 4.5in on a 2.5L!!??? I can buy milk in bigger bottles.!

    Sounds good man. 3 inch straight through with a cat. (Including dump pipe) and go twins instead of the usual cannon.

    FML. was at a car show and they had them for sale at $99. too bad I locked all my money in my savings account for the 25det engine!!

    Bought another gearbox today. Its a RB30e box out of a VL. I got it for $40, only catch is it has no second gear. So that will be a little project in itself as I will be rebuilding it. I want to experiment with making a brass bush for the bottom of the gear lever, factory ones are plastic and they fall off making the shift sloppy. Silly Nissan..

    EDIT: Cusco make a brass one already, yeehoo.
