R32 Gtst Project

[BANGN]

Thought I would share the progress of my 32 GTST I purchased March last year

this is what it looked like on day 1 of ownership. Stock as a rock apart from a FMIC

and then gave it a good cut and polish

First week I had the car I went to town on it on ordering some new things to make it reliable

all hose clamps for water, fluid and fuel hoses

all water hoses

all pwr steering fluid hoses

all fuel hoses

rocker cover seals

040 fuel pump

removal of hicus crap

putting a full brg set through the gearbox

cleaned everything up

found a cactus brg on the mainshaft in my gearbox which is a common cause for skyline rollover noise

So once that was all done I purchased some 32R rims

gave the GT badges a polish

installed a 3" bellmouth dump pipe and 45V1 R33 Turbo

then replaced a the front end bushes and installed some new K sport coilovers

which lowered it somewhat

engine bay is now all clean as well as the air con system at the front of the car

next bit was to put in a new 3" mandrel bend system

and then a nistune done by sean at allstar garage

stripped out my boot

then I got real, pissed off the 32R rims and went for some buddy clubs

more to come!

cool, thread got uploaded

heres some more stuff that has been done

Sound Deadener & Rubber removed which saved 20KG

I then got it tinted in 18% and painted the calipers and rocker covers bright orange

[BANGN]

then it was time for a new windscreen and front and rear rubbers

then put in new gearboots

then one of these under the dash

new bigger battery and clamps

new pads (ebc redstuff) which I have not fitted yet

dba 4000 slotted rear rotors

and I have these on order (324mm gtr front upgrade on 4000 dba rotors)

also not mentioned yet is I put in a rear 32R sway bar and RB20 diff from an auto for the shorter ratio

So clean puts my car to shame lol but i use mine for drift so i shouldnt complain!!

awesome job its looking hot as very clean

how much the rubbers cost to replace??
