hey everyone, been a member here for a short time and havent really introduced myself, so id thought ill do it now,my names josh and i drive a gunmetal 1993 r32 rb20det manual,

recently had an accident (hit a pothole which spun me out cudnt gain control in time) ran up a gutter and smashed my passenger side into a tree :mad: the shell/chasis were pretty much beyond repairable,the whole running gear worked fine and still turned ova no worries so i had to source a new shell took me me a week to get my hands on 1, so this is where the rebuild starts....

14th of july: got a car trailer went and picked up my shell got it for $1100 from abc wreckers in oxley reason i got it cheap was because the guy didnt want the shell he wanted the motor out of it cuz he had plans of puttin it in a mitsubishi pajero :) i dropped the shell off at my girlfreinds uncles place (got a big workshop there) then went and picked up my car and brung it over as well. We first started taking out intercooler, radiator disconnecting lines anything that would get in the way of gettin the mottor out, we then disconnected the tail shaft from the diff then from the gearbox, unplugged most of the electrics, while me and a mate were working on all of this, my girlfreinds uncle was cutting the radiator support off the new shell (it was bent to the sh*thouse) and that summed up the first day

15th of july: started ripping off panels, seats, heaps of little bits and piece,disconnected my exhaust (not a single scratch on it from the accident :( and then dropped the motor and gearbox and front suspension out and wheeled the old shell back, another day over

21st of july: jacked the rear end of my old shell up, took out my fuel tank and hooked it up to my new shell, we then dropped my rear subframe out and assessed the damage (snapped tie rod, snapped upper controller arm, bent camber arm and split my diff :domokun: ) and called it a day

22nd of july: went to "all automotive import parts" at seventeen mile rocks TOP PEOPLE I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THEM ;) and picked up the parts i needed, except diff as i couldnt afford it atm and camber arms as im going to go aftermarket. went out to my car, and slapped on these parts, decided not to put the subframe up yet as it wud b alot easier to put the diff in. from there we fiddled around on bits and pieces and then fnished for that day

25th of july: few parts that i bought over the net were starting to arrive (camber arms and so on) so it was go ahead with the subframe, went down to all automotive picked up my diff went out to my car put the diff and camber arms on and bolted my subframe up!!

28th of july: got my radiator support off my old shell and welded it on to my new shell, fiddled around on a few other things, assesed damage on my front suspension and motor etc. (just needed a new fan shroud, castor rod, and lower controller arm) went down to all automotive again to pick up the LAST parts lol,

29th of july: started transferring things from my old engine bay into my new one (power steering resovoir and so on) hooked clutch pedal up (PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!!) replaced my lower controller arm, dragged my old shell out of the way, so we are ready to drop the new shell over my engine .......

SORRY I HAVENT TAKEN ANY PROGRESS PICS BUT I WILL START TOMORO

CHECK BACK FOR MORE UPDATES ON THE PROGRESS

      Best Skyline ever

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).

      Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.

      Starting again

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
