I have just spent half an hour or so racking my brains trying to remember what I have done and spent over the last..........err.... nearly three years and have added my money pit to the garage. I knew I had spent a fair bit on mods, but not that much :o

I guess I will have to update it further when it comes back with the new engine and new spec - gulp.

does the modding bill get very close to a GTR price tag yet?

Well I could have bought an R34GTR with what it owes me now :roll: But I could never have saved that much to spend on a car all at once, or even wanted too, to be honest. And for what I have spent, a GTR would be pretty standard power wise.

Half the enjoyement for me is looking for what mods to do next, buying and fitting them and seeing the results.

All good fun :D

Well all I can say is that Rockabilly in his 650bhp R33GTR could not make any headway on me down the straights @ Silverstone, which shows just how much the GTR transmission saps power, unless Thors Dynopack figures are a little optimistic, where it was mapped a couple of days before. I can't compete with the way that a GTR puts the power down out of the corners though 8)

Well the engine was almost ready to be done, but after a final measure up since the crank was polished and although the new bearings were within tolerance, Richard Bell has decided to go for a different size to make sure that it's 100%

As Richard is going to give me a 12 month / 12,000 mile guarantee, even with the caning that I give it, it has to be right 8)

The bad news is that there is a 3 week wait from Nissan for the 3 new bearings, even Nissan in Japan only have 2 of the 3 needed :roll:

Oh well .........it will be January now before I have to do the 1,000 miles of running in :cry:
