Nic_A31 Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) Rear cradle dropped for service, bushes and maybe a respray. Front coilovers test fitted with strut brace. 5 Stud hubs test fitted.... Restarting on the brakes. Getting them sandblasted, then anodised, then going to have a crack at rebuilding them with new seals. Will add pics of each stage as it occurs.

Nic_A31 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Thanks. R33 GTR Rims...I got 4 with tread for a VERY good price, these should be for the other Ceffy, but I couldn't resist, had to test fit them in the shed tonight, PERFECT offset and width. In other news, I rang the nearest sandblaster in the Yellow Pages today....asked for a ballpark figure to blast all 8 calipers I'm doing.....cost?....carton of beer. Legend!! Anodising is going to cost me about $150 for all 8 Seals are $100 for per set of calipers, so $200 all up for me.

Dorigecko Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Were those gregs rims? If so, nice. Brilliant fitment. Who's anodizing for you? Are you going to get like PMU pads or anything like that, or are you just gonna go bendix? The ultimates that I put into toms gt-r were pretty good, but they probably got nothing on the Project Mu pads.

Nic_A31 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Were Greg's rims yes. Zinc Coaters in Welshpool are doing anodising, they work day and night, and are on the next street parallel to my work, so easy to get to Pads, dunno, at this stage, all the Nissan pads I've got have plenty of meat left on them, but will upgrade to something a little better later on.

Nic_A31 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Solid as f**k. Will clean cradle down and respray it before it goes back in. Still deciding on the rest of the rear suspension. Replaces bushes? or Nismo sh*t? 2 Way diff, will be staying, regardless OTHER NEWS: -Now using an S14 steering rack -Complete HICAS removal Hasnt been touched other than that, in....f**k, ages.

Nic_A31 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Aaaaand this little adventure resumes. Unfortunately no pics of today's events, however this is what you can expect to see... Plans for the next week: Finish respraying underside of car [sound deadener] (halfway there) Strip back engine bay, again Clean and re-assemble front suspension, LCA's, steering rack, etc to crossmember. Clean and re-spray cradle Clean and dye C33 Laurel Dash, fit, and wire up extra's Clean interior Weld up old intercooler in/out panel provisions Plans for fornight/onwards: Strip GTR cradle and put it all onto current cradle (with solid bushes) Remove front and rear windshields Plans for month/onwards: Respray engine bay Respray car? Plans for next 3 months/onwards: Decide on powerplant/drivetrain, build and fit Replace all the bits I raped off it for the other one (ie 5 stud, brakes, coilovers, etc) This is "The Hump", it's in a billion pieces, the car hasn't moved a millimeter in nearly 2 years, and for the first time since then I'm putting shit back together rather then dissasembling. VOTE TIME RB25DET NEO RB26DETT RB30DET/T VQ30DETT (added challenge) SR20DET (shitter diesel truck spec) Fully built VK56DE+TT (For Ultra-LOLs / pant-shitting) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/279725-ceffeh/page/6/#findComment-5762263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffy Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 my vote is on the rb30 for ease of fitment and its effectiveness (use a neo head or 26 head though) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/279725-ceffeh/page/6/#findComment-5762292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_J Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 sound deadener Dont use anything from any commercial shops ( autobarn, auto1 ) as they are all shit and dont set and harden as i've stated before, talk to a panel beater/sprayer( or toffy) to get some real stuff if you dont want to keep it to a specific cc's then rb30 + 25 head (copy front facing intakes are cheap enuff) VQ30DET if u want head aches, stuffing around but finally a great motor or SR20DE+T/SR20DET if you like trucks more info on "dye C33 Laurel Dash" and cost etc pm etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/279725-ceffeh/page/6/#findComment-5766733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic_A31 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 VHT Vinyl dye...comes in a spray can, its around $15.00 mark. Clean the surface down real good 2-3 times, spray the vinyl on, let it dry, repeat. It's a dye rather than a paint, and actually sinks into the vinyl and changes the color, so its resistant to cleaning agents and fairly resistant against sun damage (although it has faded slightly in my other Cefiro). Dash looks brand new. I'll take pics tonight if I get enough daylight after work.

Nic_A31 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Got stuck in today stripping the temp. paint in the engine bay, didn't find any rust which is good, some of the factory paint was chipped up and flaking, dunno why. Gave it some primer over the top of the area's I did strip back. I'll strip down the other area's tomorrow, and strip back the primer I laid, then apply 1 coat of primer, still can't make my mind up as to paint it myself in high temp acrylic or just get it done same time as the whole car. These things make life breezy Anyway, some blurry shithouse pics off teh new phone.
