Dude I leave for a while come back, and there is a house and a Skyline! Do work son! I wish I would have known you needed roofing and windows, thats what I sell - for a nationwide company....

lol true!!!


so guys, i did work today....

first thing was well, i got paid on friday, cashed my check, and well, got some VERY important GTR type stuff done...

first, called progressive, got my full coverage insurance situated ($240 for 6mo)...

second, sent my girl off to the tag place to register all our cars, including the GTR, YES i was nervous, like i didn't even want to go in case anything happened, 12 digit vins and all... she came back about 20 minutes later saying "well marshall, let's put our tags and stickers on our cars!" i bout hit the ******* roof...

so, i went to fix the tag to the GTR, with my fancy GReddy plate cover, no joy, i guess real JDM tags hava a different bolt pattern so i frantically got the drill, and drilled out new holes.... it wasn't 1 minute after that i kissed my girl goodbye, door thunk closed, tires screeched and i was GONE in the GTR...

holy **** RHD with gobs of power is INSANE in city traffic... going to take a while to get used to....

either way, first stop, one of my "sponsors" shops for a check up on the old girl... fluid flush (trans, diffs x3, etc) and overall inspection... i guess here is where the build begins....

other than that, spent the rest of the day wrenching, claw came out, hung out we chilled in the shop, drank some brews, did some bench racing....

going back tomorrow for follow up maintainance... plugs, oil change, coolant flush, brake fluid flush, hicas flush etc etc... working on getting this car ready for the dyno tune....

oh, and D day +1 for my car not being seized as i put the tag on and drove like 75 miles... D+1....

 

wait.....you just registered the skyline as is? with original japanese VIN? what kind of titles?

im asking cause i live in florida and id like a GT-R. also where did you get it?

 

legal 12 digit BNR32xxxxxx Florida title..... registered and insured....

 

how did you get the title and where did you get the car?

 

title work was done by a guy in orlando, i'm sure he wont be pleased if i told his business on a public forum. and i got the the car from some kid in ft peirce...

i know of a guy with abut 40 cars coming, 3 R32 GTRs, and 1 R33 GTR... the rest are other stuff, FD's, an EVO1, GTO, pulsar GTIR **** like that...

 

I was always under the impression Skylines were a no-no, but **** it, if you can get it registered and insured I say let it ride!

 

what did you pay for the car btw? I didnt see it mentioned....

 

well guys, had a fun day today, went to the import face off at the Gainesville International Raceway...

ran a few ****ty passes down the drag strip in the "test and tune class... a bunch of hard parking in the show with the GTR and the S14 together..

well on with the pics of course!

my girl driving the the S14 while i'm in the GTR... my son passed out.

holy s**t man how big is the turbo on ur gtr?? and what kind of numbers does that thing put down?

 

good numeros!!! don't have a final answer till i get it tuned...


UPDATE!

got started on the transmission issue, i ended up getting a RB AWD trans, oil pan, front diff, and axles for $200, so what better day to slap em in, then the day i get em!

Tomei shifter, pleasant surprise, discontinued and fairly rare...


getting the no 3rd gear trans out... me on the driver side...


got it out, but i have to wait till tomorrow to put the new trans in, KADE/Z32 TOB's aren't in stock at any parts stores.. so i had one delivered to the shop..


oh, and i guess i have to change the parts list, it's a OS Giken TWIN plate clutch, and not a triple as i was told...




other than that, not much, gonna flush the new tranny tomorrow, new fluids, new TOB and pilot, flush the HICAS and new fluids etc etc...

as of tomorrow i'll have 3rd gear..... next up, dyno tune!

 

you need new tires

 

UPDATE!!!!!!

sorry for the low image quality, but i forgot my camera and had to use my cell...


OH NOES THEY'RE COMING FOR THE SKYRINE!!!


.......or to help me work on it!!!! cool *** off duty cops FTW! *disclaimer- said officer returned his cruiser home, and returned in his personal vehicle*


cool shot...


anyways...

new TOB, fresh boot, fresh packed grease in TOB and pivot ball...


over $100+ worth of all new fluids in the gearbox and transfer case, and ATESSA-ETS... jesus that was $$$..


out with the old...


in the new....


having third gear kicks ***!! took the cop on a ride in the industrial part, clutch dropped first, went to 8K with the open wastegate screaming, hit second, instant power, then THIRD!!! WOOOT and i got scared cause we were going like 90+mph (no idea how fast, speedo doesn't work, and had tunnel vision), down a pot holed, raised manhole street... cop got out, said "that was eye opening, i knew it was fast but hoooof!"

good day, so far, got the tranny in with no issues, cars running strong... now for tires/dyno tune...

 

Diggin' the GTR. nice.

 

thanks!

90 mph and this.......
