ordered a new GTR hood catch support yesterday. $45

negoiated with an old SAU member NEW factory tinted side glass.

(brett, been busy with other things - sorrry. need those lights back as well pls.)

slowly buying more bits for it. lot going on in my personal life and not a lot of time to work on this.

lip was NOS from a local dealer still over $400 though.

glass out of japan my be that but I cannot get glass out of japan. they will not ship it. if they did the $1200 sunroof glass would have been $600 landed.

local quote was $590 a side.

Series 2 R32 belts:

Considering I had kiippan items (green inport plate) installed and those were in my opinion terribly installed getting these will sort that out and give me the swing arm belt on the drivers side.

I also have GTR door panels, rear side panels,rear seat. I also grabbed aa series 2 rear body harness ( these are DIFFERENT from the 1989-1992 versions) to match the S2 front harness I have and all of the computer gear to match it.

still have to get more trim related stuff and from there I will get the GTST seats retrimmed to look like GTR items and maybe a bit more padding as the lower pads are shot from things sitting on them.

lately my daughter has realized every part I am bringing home is for her car.. She asks this every time she sees me with something car related in my hand.

  • 3 weeks later...

had this for a couple of years now. never took a shot of it. last in existence. the part is actually a supersession of the original.

for those that don't know its a NEW sunroof glass. all $1200 worth...

my Japanese supplier was afraid to ship it to me out of Okinawa for fear of damage. So it sat there for 6 months before I got nissan Oz involved and brought it over. checked Japan after I bought it home and it was NLA. so that one piece that was sitting in Okinawa was mine..

Yep that had a few people stumped.

Shop going ok. Concentrating more on import and supply than retail.

Plenty more bits on the way for this car. My daughter wants it finished so she can sit in it.

We are both Going to spend Sunday mucking around with it.

Next up are side trim work and the rear window trim.

good to hear she likes cars already.

On the import and supply side of things, hows that DIN pocket for my dash coming along?

yep shes asking weekly when its going to be ready. figure by end of year I should have enough stuff put aside and money aside to start the body part of it.

pocket is here. I am not though.

    • 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
