You can all get stuffed. Last night after speaking with Paul I went home and had a hard look atht wheel pricing and figured I wont be hapy until i get them for mine. So once the rebuilt shocks are paid for its time for some 18x10 +35 & 18x9 +25s for my bus. As for you mob with your GTRs...jog on!

Oh ... I just went home and ordered a set of them - they are on their way to me as we speak ... you will no longer be a unique snowflake.

(just joking, getting TE's :unsure:)

So the engine bay is DONE! Nismo AFM's in, intake re-assembled, air box sticker charged and intake ducting cable tied down.

Also picked up some rebuilt stocky rear brakes in great nic

And pulled out my mad photoshop skills to confirm that in fact yes, as Anthony put it - black TE's will look tits. Particularly when filled with rotor and AP goodness. Borrowed an 18x10 rotor TE copy toying with the idea of grabbing them as a spare set for slicks but still a bit undecided - I don't think my guards are pumped quite enough.

I am chasing some stock front calipers + rotors + pads + lines if anyone knows of any - preferably in Melbourne. Just as a temporary solution, rotors can be at limit and pads almost gone, just no caliper / line leaks.

Bay looks sooooooooooooooo schmick man. Better than brand new!

Did you run new OEM Nissan front and rear window seal kit..........? Pics with no masking tape.....?

Black TE's will set it off!

FYI - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/414449-r32-gtr-intercooler-shroud/

Cheers man! Nah just an aftermarket seal front and rear - it's not perfect at the corners but the urethane seals everything up really well.

Tempting group by is tempting - interested in the OEM wing in carbon..... hmm

Picked up these 18x10.5+15 from Import Monster - off getting stripped and painted matte black for the 34 so 32 will have wheels in a week or so. They will definitely get the obligatory test fit on the 32 once they are ready of course for the stance shot before the sensible sized wheels go on.

  • 2 weeks later...

Wheels back from being painted matte black, the 10.5's actually sit pretty nicely at this ride height. Will get the same treatment done for the 9.5's soon.

Dash chopped to accommodate the cage and gearstick refitted. Have started to fill up some fluids and check over lines etc.

Getting close mate....you must be on edge. Car looks dangerously good, keep photos coming!

Any chance you could post some photos up fo the new front and rear window seals...

Also, did you run new rear quarter windows?

Great build.

That looks awesome. You must be wrapped. Hope the rest goes well!

    • 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
