youtu.be/IZJctMzHFwEHere's a quick start up. Waiting for the polini 90 degree intake to come in and see if it fits with the current intake manifold. If it does. Then I am golden for on road tuning

Sorry for slow updates gentlemen. I've been on some new medication for my psoriasis, of which a side effect can lead to depression. And makes my drive very low for essentially everything. Thankfully I'm on my last 2 doses and I hope for my more uppity self to pop its head and give me the drive. But as of now I've been slowly disassembling the engine, taking it slowly one day at a time. Today I drained the coolant. Removed wheel, brake, loosened all bolts for a simple engine removal and disconnected all ignition wiring. Then I went and got myself a gift. Something other than a scooter or parts.

Oof an R33! So cool! Is it a GTS-t? Yes sir. Gtst type M apparently it has a rb25det neo engine from a r34 skyline. So I really can't complain much.

I told my friend a while back who always wanted a supra back in 2017 to get one before they skyrocket. I believe they sat around 17 to 24 grand at the time for a nice model,he caved this year and spent 45 grand on a non turbo model.

Snails pace for sure. Between the withdrawals and gaining my mental stability back, I decided to take the engine out. Had a heck of a time removing the flywheel as the tool I use for the minarelli clones and Zuma flywheel would not work on the Ducati style ignition. But now it's on my work desk. I can take my time doing everything slowly and at a nice pace.

Beautiful bike and it looks like you're doing it up right! I understand wanting to match your car but I really like the yellow as well. It's really close to the '03 Zuma yellow which I'm quite partial to

Following this thread. I just picked up a yellow 2001 LC f12. Identical to yours. I would love to learn more about the BWS100 rear pulley. Is there more info elsewhere on the site?
