I finally found some time to work on the skyline with the help of my little sister and mate nathan i got the most of the fiberglass work done with only bout 10% left to be done and also got the front bar remount on their so it looks a little bit better and its alot strong made mounts this time also got half the rear bar mounted aswell. Now all that is left is to sand all the fiberglass areas smooth and then paint and clean the inside of the car out

Below is a pic of were the side skirt meets the rear of the door it was the biggest pain in the arse to glass up as you cant go to thick as the door will not shut it still needs to be sanded back and cleaned up alot

Mate, ur car looks HECTIK AS... i am just about to venture into the same mod... but front only.. not soo keen on the massive mission to do the whole thing like u have..

Where abouts are u located..?? ur gonna need sum massive tyres to fill those gaurds..

oh and how much u gettin the headlights for.. ?

Anyways, CONGRATS for the top effort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the drifts at qr on Saturday im glad i went with this kit casue i saw a black and white one and it looks mint. As for headlights im still trying to to find a pair at a price that i can afford( i thought when i bought the kit i could pick up a set for couple hundred bucks lol i wish). Im in millmerran which is about 2-3hrs from brisbane. More photos to come later on this if i can find some time to finsh of the fibreglass work on the outside then just gotta do the wheel wells to make it all neat and to stop water getting into the boot and cabin

How are you gonna fit the headlights, gonna make the brackets yourself?

My only Guess at the moment is that 3 or 4 L Brackets should be all that is needed to mount the headlights will find out when i buy a pair of headlights lol

Just a Question for all one that reads this. I have kyb Buzz spec coil overs on the the r32 at the moment is their a cheap way way to raise it a inch or is it possible to raise the car with a new set of rims and tires as in would 255/75/17 raise even a half a inch

Oh, this is nice, good effort, what is the total cost of doing this conversion

So far the kit owes me 2.5k to 3k and Ive still gotta paint the car get headlights plus Ive spent easily spent over 50hrs of working on this car and about 20 hrs spent cursing at it for even coming close to lining up any were

I am about to start something crazy like this myself

Except im fitting a BN sports Blister kit to my r32

should look something like this

The kit that I have came from the exact same mould that this one was made from

Good Luck With hope it all goes on better and with less headaches than what mine has been. Are you doing it yourself or paying for it to be done?

    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
    • I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.
    • I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
