ROFL i pulled my dump/front pipe off using only 2 hydraulic jacks and 2 car stands.....and a good hour of f!@#ing around figuring out how to unbolt off the turbo lol ...the two on top and bottom closest to the guard is easy to take off, jsut use a breaker bar :P only real need for the hoist is to unbolt off the cat (piss hard BUT do-able when chassis is an inch off ur face!) hardest one to get to will be the middle one on the side of the turbo facing the block.

it WILL be hard for a first timer, but definitely do-able! i should make a bet too lol trust me you might be sore and bleeding off ur face but you wont regret giving it a shot! really good learning experience (and yes i did hit myself in the face with a spanner......)

We used a friends hoist as well for the 32, and I can tell you now that after all the freakin pain trying to get the zorst off and new one on, I would be more than happy to pay $135!

Jacking up the 180 about 1m at the back just to change a catback.. also pain in the arse.

You just never know how many 15yr old bolts you're going to snap til it's too late..

I even snapped my brittle radiator drain plug once.. luckily we have 2 other (Nissan) cars here with the same size plug :P

      C-red tuning?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
