Ground up rebuild R32 GTST
kaiju_r32 replied to kaiju_r32's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
if you are talking about the louvers on the rear window, that was just a joke. If you look closely it doesnt fit at all. They were from a mustang that was in the same body shop as my car was when it was getting painted. -

Its a TBO grille made to look like the R33 style, but I was told by someone else that a 33 GTR grille fits the 32. Not sure if that is true or not. -

They are branded as COPLUS. They are dual LED. I need to run all new wiring to everything so it may be a bit before they actually get turned on. -

Better than drugs right?! I also went drive by wire with a 350z pedal and a ctsv throttle body. Going full air suspension and all gktech adjustable arms. Shaved door handles and trunk lock. Trying to go neo power steering pump to get rid of the dual stage pump, hopefully I can get that to work. Engine was rebuilt. New gaskets, rings, and seals. Poncams and adjustable pulleys. Cant think of anything else thats too crazy lol. -

I will be buried in this thing at this point. There is way too much money wrapped up in it to ever bother selling it. When I say ground up, I mean ground up. There's not many parts or pieces that havent been upgraded or replaced with new oem parts. It will basically be a brand new car that I plan on driving every damn day! haha -

red to match the car. I just got a truck from someone that has a paint matched dash and I love it so I am going to do the same to the skyline. only way to really "modernize" the dash so the interior doesnt look so dated. -

kaiju_r32 replied to kaiju_r32's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
basically the whole main dash itself. i have a carbon fiber glove box, carbon fiber radio bezel down through the entire center console, the steering surround, and the gauge cluster surround. I also have a sheet metal rear seat delete and sheet metal door cards that I am going to have hydro dipped carbon fiber to match as close as I can. -

Adam LZ drifts his r32 with the s13 subframe and all gktech stuff so Im hoping itll be ok. Itll be completely set up for drifting.....but idk if I will feel comfortable enough to not destroy the car with all the money I have tied up in it. I just want it to be really reliable daily that I can have some fun with. -

From what I read, the s14 and s15 gave a wider track and less squat or something. I did weld in the gktech reinforcement plates before it was powder coated. Hoping with all the arms I can get it sitting pretty good. -

I got a really good deal on the s13 and bought all gktech adjustable arms and rear knuckles to go with it. -

While I'm still waiting on the car to get back from paint...here are a few updates. Fitted a ctsv drive by wire throttle body, got my powder coated s13 subframe back and fitted the solid bushings, got my engine back from the machine shop and am fitting a r35 coil set up, and finally received my complete wiring harness from wiring specialties! -
Trying to get new parts to freshen up the front of the car so I'm not bolting back on 25 year old crust to a brand new paint job. I already got my hands on a new condenser and drier, but now trying to source a condenser fan assembly. I see them being discontinued and not available anywhere OEM. Are there replacements any of you have found that I can use?

Yea I went with stage 2 taillights and the combo reverse/indicators and combo fog/reverse panels. I bought a set of the cheap led taillight assemblies just to get the clear red lenses too instead of the oem lenses that just look dated to me. Hoping it turns out good. -
