Quarter unpicked from shell, and fitted to mine. Currently as it's sitting right now.

November 22. Painter rings me and says he needs to re-make the whole quarter panel as its full of JB weld and bog. Great. Managed to find a shell that's been sitting for 10 years, also non complied so I dont feel bad about cutting it up.

Coilovers finally arrived. BC DS (1 step above standard golds), with Extreme Drop kit installed. This was the height out of the box.

Fast forward a month, I now have legitimate rego. Again, if you have questions, inbox.

Continuing on prepping my butthole for a full RWC, I found a full stock exhaust with a cat for $100, as well as painted the lock bar in hope it would go unnoticed. Also did both rear wheel bearings as one was absolutely shot. Also figured out the diff knocking wasnt my issue, it was the tailshaft centerbearing. Bought one from Hardys and got it fitted and balanced at ATS (now also owned by Hardys) No more knocking.

Few more months. Not going to lie the whole "Easy rego" i had planned that didnt work had me a little disheartened for a while. Needed to continue, went back to dans and fitted my new diff. R200 LSD 4.11 out of a C34. Driveshafts out of a R33 GTSt. Like a glove. R180 open wheeler went in the bin.

Long story short, failed first ID check. Not going into detail as to why on a public forum. Inbox if youre interested.

GTR Mounted by my painter. (Luke @ Born Again Restorations) And also bought some gold/bronze Hyperzero's.

Got a 25neo plastic coil cover to go on top of the coils. Plumbed up the charcoal canister. Plumbed up the breathers the legal way.

Managed to find a center vent and steering wheel for free, Starting to look half decent inside. Spent way too much time trying to diagnose what the wiring for the horn was, and why it wasnt working once I found the correct wire. Ended up mounting a spare horn I found in the shed, made a new wire from the relay straight to the horn. Test and works. Happy days.

Wanted to get rid of the shitty piping set up that came on the car. However I could not use the standard RB intake piping because the TD05 has a 3" inlet. Took a trip to upullit, found a saab turbo inlet pipe and a 3.8L ecotec bend. Chucked it all in, bolted up. Looks the goods for now.

Sort myself a list of shit I needed to pass for a RWC, and got cracking. Started by cleaning the bay up. Removed the oil breather, and fitted stock looking covers on. Also painted piping black as we all know SAPOL/Regency love finding shiny things.

Few more months passed. Bought some half decent door cards, and a JSAI front bar. Guess which was more expensive..

Had a few issues with idling and the tune it came with. Took it over to Adam at Jaustech. Updated the Nistune, made some adjustments. Now idles fine, and also making 235rwkw. Video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/YXvSgPzrrGD3ex9Q8

Fast forward a month, I had purchased a 5 stud kit, R33 GTR brakes, braided lines, and R33 stockies. Booked in a time at Dan Holland's workshop and we went through and chucked it all on. Also gave the engine a basic fluid service, as well as removed all signs of HICAS (not a delete, physically removed all of it and blocked off all ports). If anyone needs any work done in Adelaide, especially on diffs. Contact Dan @ The Crown and Pinion Much better.

Managed to grab a front bar from some bloke locally. Not great but better than the kit that came on it.

In an attempt to get rid of the disgusting "gauge mount", I found that you can actually run a consult cable > android tablet, and run an app called NDS. I was pretty surprised considering it is a 30 year old car. Shows data as well as Diag codes which came in handy later. Using a recycled tablet mount from my work, I rigged this up. Currently I didnt have a dock power cable so I had to recharge this everytime I used it.

Managed to find some cheap wheels, and get them delivered from Whyalla for $200. I couldnt deal with the 19"G2 wheels any longer lol. I found out once I got them, they didnt fit due to bore. Listed them up for sale for $400, gone the next day. I assumed they were 4x100 / 4x114.3, turns out they were 4x110 / 4x114.3. Didn't even know that was a thing.

First thing i had to do was to get rid of the gokart steering wheel, not sure what the go was there. Also managed to find a sedan rear bar relatively cheap, thanks to Zac. (RB30DET, SA). Next was sussing some of the "custom wiring" as I was relatively new to Nissans (last one I owned was an N15 SSS about 8 years ago). Nothing on the dash worked except Fuel and Speed so I was assuming all the data came from the ECU. Didn't get anywhere, future me problem.

Had this this for about 15 months now. So much it being a "quick and easy" build. I bought this thinking I could clean it up relatively easily, get an ID check and happy days. Man was I wrong (but we will get to that point later. As pics go, this is how I got it.

Going back to stock KG1. Will do, cheers!

Hi all, Very long time reader (10+ years), first time poster (and account created). Figured it was about time I made an account so I can post my travels and comment. Currently own a R32 GTS (na shell with RB20DET [73u, not a DE+t]) First 2 pics are of how I got it. Came with the below: Nistune 1000cc Injectors FMIC Bigger fuel pump (forgot which one) TD05 18g (antisurge) Z32 MAF Making 239rwkw 3rd Photo is how its sitting waiting for paint at the moment. Since I've had it, i've done the following: BC Coilovers (DS w extreme drop kit) R33 GTS-t Brake set up (braded lines, dbc rotors, intima ss pads), running a BM57 brake master 5 stud set up all round. R200 4.11 LSD (out of a stagea), 5 half shafts out of a 33 gts-t JSAI GTR front bar, Carbonetics GTR grill, GTR bonnet conversion Genuine set of door cards (sedan door cards are the worst to find) R33 GTR wheels Still to do: Refresh a non hicas R32 subframe I bought Re-wire some of the bay (there's a weird issue that has a wire coming directly from the alternator to the battery light in the dash. Battery doesnt charge if its not connected) Fix the reverse lights (currently hardwired from battery, to reverse switch, to tail lights to pass the RWC I never had to get lol) Hopefully sort some A/c out as I have no AC parts. Currently it is sitting at a mates resto shop where he has installed a new quarter panel from another shell I previously bought. If all goes well, it will be at All Jap Day in Adelaide on the 26th of Feb. Cheers,
