haha I like the social aspect of it. He got a new car and wanted to try it out on some roads so I offered the Cotter. He's idea, so I wouldn't go unless he was. Bank account frozen (no work) so fuel has to be used wisely :P

Yeah right now I have paid about $13,500
Iron Chef quoted about $16,500 landed and complied.
So his guess is around $3000

They are fitting the cheapest possible tires for me because I won't be keeping the rims.
Also a radio band extender so I can pickup aus radio stations.

Room. I has none.

I think I'm going to investigate a storage unit for 4 months or so. Not an expense I need right now, but if it's not long term at least I won't be forking out for one indefinitely.

Storage, at least theres a bit of choice these days,

Cant build a shed where you are.

Was thinking the Bond roll bar thats FIA approved and bolt in might go well in the 32.

I can take it out for road use.

1/2 cage is probly the way to go.

Whaddayareckon?

$1015.00 six point roll cage with diagonal.... $670.00 1/2 cage with
diagonal
thanks 02 45879672

Hi, im wondering if you make the removable roll bar/cage for R32 Skyline.
If so, what are the options and cost.
thanks, Mike.

Speaking of good locations .... here's a trip (with stages) I hope to be doing in the next few months if things go my way .. if they don't go my way I'll stick to going to doing a lap around the ACT, to Civic for a coffee then home :closedeyes:

What sort of time frame do you expect to do this over?

    • The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.
    • Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it. 
    • So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up. 
    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
