tell me about it, i sold brakes for $500 and have to spend $3500 to replace them.

haha. you planning on getting rid of it already? or just for the right price ay..

i was looking into doing this as a project but i think i'd get bored from how long it would take with available funds atm.

grrrr it's 2:33am and i've been sitting here pretty much re-reading the whole thread haha!

makes me wana start mine right now. still got a lot of research though!

would you mind if i asked you a few question when i get stuck on mine?

wish me luck at work in 2 hours haha

Purchased a GTR style front bar ages ago, there is a pick of it somwhere earlier in the thread.

Some Vielside side skirts, and a GTR bonett to go on very soon i hope. Also bought a glass bootlid but it does not seem to be much lighter than the metal one. have to weigh it.

can you say 'race spec!'

What front bar are you using.. decent sized oil cooler too!

basically the same car, i cant see it being to much different. Spoke to SK today about a suspension package. You would be amazed on what i learned in 20mins on the phone. want to get the car running in the next few weeks and then sort suspension and then brakes. Might have to sell go-kart.

Can't weit to see this in action.. been waiting for an ls1 powered 32 for ages! So many ls1 s13's now though.

yea i was wondering what suspension you're going to be using seeing that you're using it as an all rounder.

  • 2 weeks later...

Car has been at panel shop for last week getting fitted up. Had the boot sprayed also. Bonnet pins fitted etc and then a final buff, came up mad. cant believe it is the same car i picked up from Qld 18 months ago. this is the first time the car has had all the panels fitted.

Got the lifters today and should have the heads next week.

Pulling box back out tomorro to play around with release bearing clearance.

Cpmputer arrived during the week. Going to purchase some guages, finish the dash and get the car wired so i can fire it.

A few before and after shots.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
