Well time to move onto bigger and better things, most of you know me and my gtst, which is for sale now.
Since some serious progress is underway i figured its time to post up a build thread!
a month ago the thought of selling my Gtst and my 240 was never even in the question, then for some ****** up reason i had this idea to get into a gtr. so i posted up my 240 for sale and that same night it was basically sold to Mr. Kyle Biring and i was on my way to finding a GTR...Then i posted the skyline up for sale and mentioned that i wanted a gtr, I don't even think it was the next day when i had a message saying Charles Wong might have a gtr that he would entertain selling. So a couple emails later and a trip down to Richmond i told him i would take it!
here she was
it was possibly the longest weekend of my life, waiting for Monday to come around so i could pick it up!
borrowed a friends car trailer and my dads truck and off we went.. and of course it had to be snowing on this day...
..4 hours later we had the engine and tranny in the back of the truck along with the engine crane, drivers seats, carpet, clutches exhaust you name it. and the car loaded on the trailer which was also **** packed with the rear seats, interior paneling, front bumper and even more parts.
literally cant thank the bros enough that helped out and of course, Charles, for hanin out in the cold and helping us load everything up also making sure i had all the parts i needed!
Made it home safe and unloaded the car into the garage along with all the parts and laid everything out ready to be worked on.
So moving onto the engine, the main focus of this build for the time being..
After doing a compression test, i found out that the motor was well on its way out and i could not run it in the condition it was in. so after lots of thinking and planning, i started to strip the motor down..
turbos off, wow what a bitch those things are, i couldn't imagine working on them with the motor in the car.
intake side off, i plan on deleting every water line except for the heater core and rad hoses. ditching the oil to water hear exchanger and using an rb20 oil filter pedestal as a replacement. an oil cooler is in future plans
And after a couple more nights of casual car work we had the motor striped right down to the bare bones.
And off the the machine shop it went today..
