R32 Gts4 - Restoration/rebuild

[Mohsen]

Chris can the swing arm be fitted to a sedan?

[Chris Rogers]

Unsure actually. If you have a mate with a coupe compare them. I have never tried.

This is my kind of build, good stuff man. I have a 1992 r32 gts-4 4 door with the exact same plans as yours. Was always worried about the sump would go with the front diff with putting the 25/30 in??

[Chris Rogers]

Yes but this is a full on resto. Very little expensive spared on it over the past few years. Still a lot of small things to buy.

I have 15-20k in parts alone sitting on a shelf in boxes. All new.

Show us yours.

Not comparing our cars mate, just sayin this is the same sort of thing i want to do. Got no photos of mine, plus im on my phone. Any info on the question i asked??

[Chris Rogers]

Did a rb25 out of a stagea. Easier and less hassle with adapter plates / height.

Ordered some more interior trim today. This is another 4 figure sum in NOS parts.

Nissan still make the interior panels on demand. Good for now so I am getting a set before They go NLA.

Which bits?

[Chris Rogers]

Door and rear panels. I have a decent secondhand set here as well. $2.3k for all 4 items. Door panels are fully dressed and ready to fit.

Small hardware is SUPPOSED to be with them. Unsure at this point. Going to replace the hinges as well. Yet to check those.

[Chris Rogers]

Trivial point . The door panels and side panels are NLA. I bought the last full set - $2400..

[Chris Rogers]

Once these land I am going to do more internal trim. I have most of this already but need a few more bits still.

One thing I still need to check is the boot seal and its availability .

Build looks amazing, can't wait to see this finished.

I haven't read every page so I'm sorry if its already been asked, but what are your plans for the car once finished? Are you doing a basic full resto or are you adding performance bits along the way?

[Chris Rogers]

It is for my daughter, car is a resto with some changes. Engine will get a freshen up and a flex fuel conversion . Car will be plenty quick in stock form.

Just went from start to end of this thread, amazing attention to detail (pics don't work but i'm assuming from your later comments it's a security thing ) - thanks for all the documentation effort you've gone to.

[Albus]

Awesome so far, can you please start posting more and a lot more pictures. I love looking at builds and projects.

[Chris Rogers]

Facebook changed how they indexed the images. I will link the two libraries at some point.

Big build and no expense spared.

[RandomHero83]

Any updates Chris, I know this is a labour of love and your attention to detail is second to none I have met. I can't wait for the finished product.

[Chris Rogers]

trim stuff arrived a few days back. ordered a new set of front indicators for it locally on friday. should be here in a few days.

spoke to CDR paint and panel (local club sponsor) about reassembling the body. roughly $11k to do it. I 'm not holding them to it as there is a fair bit to do that they did not see from the images. waiting on a few things to fall in place at the shop before I commit to that amount of money.

[Chris Rogers]

$350 later , new indicators..

^^ front indicators yes? s1 or the more solid orange s2 ?
