Just read the whole thread. (started late last night) My brain is throbbing from all this info! But WOW what a great build! You did everything right in my opinion. Plus the time and effort put in to documenting it all! AWESOME! I will have to read it again. White GTRs are the sexiest color in my opinion. Can't wait to see some more video of this Sexy Beast! Thanks for writing this all and making it available to us all!

man you got a ton of work into all this. i just clicked last night to your first page.... WOW on the crash and the garage fire. Next time im sick in bed Id like to read every page.

Nice pix! I own cars with lots of money and work into them and not have one picture as nice as any of the ones you posted. Jealous!

It's been like 6 months or a year (can't remember) since I was reading this. 20-25 new pages to read and..... so glad you got it done. Only big hiccups being the rear-steer eliminator kit, sensors; bodyshop. Could of been alot worst though, like crashing, blowing the motor, toasting the tranny or the bodyshop not even touching the car at all. Seeing the positive side of things though. You made it, the photos rock and the memories, well... those you got and can keep forever man. Props to "The Most Hand's On" (literally) built R32 Skyline I've ever seen. Can't wait to see what is in store for next. Enjoy it!


Cheers,

Not going to pull the head to take a looksy? Whats your power goal for this coming summer, assuming you'll get rid of that sporadic manifold pressure and even out the curve? Compression test etc?

nope, not pulling the engine (not if i have to)
i'd like to hit the 500bhp marker, only missing 20
i want to find the reason for the huge pressure drop, it might be because of old wastegate actuators, so i got brand new Garret adjustable actuators, will try to get them swapped early this summer
and last time i checked compression, after fixing the O2 sensor problem, i got an average 3psi lower than at the beginning of the summer

Awesome pictures and build.
