Picked up boot lid yesterday from a mates place who gave it a quick lick of black. At this stage im not sure weahter to keep it black or wrap in in CF vinyl like last time. I think as this stage ill leave it black and get all the holes for spoiler drilled in and then decide what to do.

Also picked up a new catch can setup that arrived yesterday. Its a 2L tank, think it may be too big to fit in the bay with that sized breather on top

hey man love the build good to see you get it going again think ive read through your thread twice since ive been on SAU. go Purple. i have a thing for purple. but i think your purple in your bay will look better than mine :).

Thanks Mathew, at this stage the covers will go blue as my mate has some of it lying around. Definitely will go a deep purple in the future.

All build threads start somewhere. I've owned this car for over 6 years and i've really only started pushing the limits in the last 2. Your car is a great base to start with and looks tidy!

Quickly threw the bootlid on tonight to see what it looked like. Terrible phone quality.

There's a newish CF vinyl which you can find on ebay called 'Carbon Fiber 4D' and it looks fairly legit compared to the old textured CF vinyl. I bought a sample and was quite impressed.

I might have to have a look at this. See how it looks when the spoilers finished and on then take it from there

Played around with the car a little bit today. Ripped out all the air con gear along with some other unwanted engine bay items.

Ive also stated the long process of degreasing the engine bay. One thing i have noticed is this will take a long time!

Air Con out. Didnt have a large enough spanner to get this out so it was a good excuse to buy an over the top spanner collection. 8mm-32mm should do it.

No offence but i hope you got the air conditioning gas removed professionally or removed by your self the proper way and didnt just let it out into Atmos

When I was restoring my GTR I didn't do that and all dat gas blew up everywhere

Got a little fright but managed to clean up all that green hew crap after lol

Looking good Scottie

I don't mind the boot with no spoiler. Keen to see it when it's finished though. Rocker covers look mad.

I ran the no spoiler look for a long time till i got the drag wing. Once you see a 33 with the flush bootlid its hard to see it with only the stock one and still like it

Thanks Ants. coming along slowly. the tough side is still yet to come. There is a lot more shit on the other side of the engine bay to work around. Baby steps

yeah that takes a real long time.

Make sure you apply a sealant like some turtle wax after to keep that engine a bit cleaner longer

    • @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?
    • Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)  
    • I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you
    • The switch part, is the switch you use to turn the lights on and off in the car.   The test I had was to determine where in the line it is, but on a quick rethink, if it's only blowing when you turn the switch on, then it's the wire from the switch, to the headlight that's got the short. Now it's a case as GTS said, of physically finding the fault. The fault could be:  metal has broken through the loom. Known as a rub through. Places to check: anywhere the wiring has been messed with in the car, particularly firewall grommets if extra cables have been passed through. Check the inner guard linings, you might be rubbing through with a wheel, particularly if the vehicle has been lowered. Also check for anywhere there could be high heat, especially if heat shields are missing. Double check any wiring at the head unit too if someone has messed with the headlight wiring to pick up a feed to dim the headlight at night. You could also just have really old cabling that is literally falling apart, though, this is more likely in Euros than in an old Nissan in my experience.
    • Yeah. I usually go by the torque specs. I forgot that Nissan recommends 1386b sealant on that thread, still can buy it on ebay actually.
