R33 Gts Build

[JD32R]

The front bar needs to be plastic welded in 1 or 2 places then just a bit more prep work for paint. I've already have 2L or paint for the bar ( I know I dont need that much)

Then I will be putting one of the group buy garage door seals on it for a lip should be done by next weekend.

PICSSSSSSS!!! when done man! interested to see those lips look amazing.

true true u can never put a $$ value next to awesome wheels. The rotas for me where a cheaper option however they were what i wanted cheap and available kinda quick so got what i paid for.

Front bar is done and assembled on the car!

Its worth the effort to take out the Orange filter in the indicators as it looks so much cleaner.

Putting the lip on was a pain.. the double sided tape I bought wasn't quite wide enough to get a good grip and hold everything secure a bit of glue here and there fix the problem.

O yea, and I have finally installed my personalised plates.

Have a Time attack session booked for QR tomorrow in the afternoon so I will see how everything goes! Very excite

It's looking great Joel. The Black and white contrast works well!

Track day was a great success, for my first time out I don't think I did too bad, only had one off on my first lap... got a bit too excited.

Ended up getting a 1:10 something (have lost the sheet) around clubman and 1:06.3147 around the Sprint track

Can't wait to get out there again, will be rolling on the Advan Rs's and AD08's instead of federal 595 Super Streets so hopefully I can have a good crack at getting some lower times.

Didn't break anything, just cooked the brake fluid and it got all spongy, so I will have to flush the system out and put something better in.

I am editing my in car videos from the day.. go easy on how I drive Its good to see my improvement from the first lap to the last.

Finally got my net uncapped and videos quickly edited... Have started uploading them to Youtube only have sessions 1 and 2 up at the moment, im the process of doing 3,4 and 5.

Video's not working -_-

Go to my channel... other videos as well http://www.youtube.c...01?feature=mhee

[TwoCents]

Have uploaded the third video, still have 4 and 5 to do but they are being a pain in the ass getting to 94% then deciding to fail -_-

Have a few things to fix from the track day as well. I started to get a funky idle on start up the next day so I thought the AFM might have been dirty but it turn out that wasn't the problem.

Turns out the extractors started to melt the underside of my intake and thus making me have a crap idle. So a metal replacement will have to be made up as well as a heat shield I guess.

Boiled the brake fluid, it has since been flushed and bled again.

Rear left hub bearing started to have a lot of play so I have decided to replace them with some new bearings. Will install them this weekend.

Annnnd my rear left coilover needs rebuilding.

But with all of the problems I still managed to get out to SAUQLD happy laps at QR

Happylaps at Lakeside with Skylines Queensland good fun keeping up with the turbo skylines.

Dont really have much of an update, replaced both rear wheel bearings, still have a leaky rear left coilover and intake with holes in it.

Have bought a 7 point cusco bolt in cage that I have test fitted and am in the process of painting it flat black (it was brown before with red sparkles )

The wheels and tyres have arrived and I will pick them up in a week or two hopefully

[TwoCents]

Have a bit of an update not much. Still havn't gotten the rims... lazy...

But I have gotten a custom Aluminum intake made up to replace the stock plastic one with holes...

Fabricated by Extreme Custom Engineering at Archerfeild

Have that nice little induction sound now... although I cant hear it over the exhaust if im in the car.

Next update should be a 7 Point cusco cage install (just need to finish painting the middle hoop) and rims and tyres hopefully

[TwoCents]

Well.. haven't really updated this much only a few things have happened since the last update.

1. Roll cage is installed

2. Have a mod plate for the cage, brake upgrade and aftermarket seat (might as well get those)

3. Back left coilover has leaked all of its fluid on my garage floor and has a bad knocking noise... so rebuild is needed.

4. Ariel motor and cable has been removed, now I just need to find something to plug up the hole until I fix the rust in that back corner.

5. Have an rb30 that I swapped for my old grill, stripped down and ready to clean/machine.

Still haven't gotten those rims and tyres.... but my pintara got new shoes

That's all for now, trying to get the car ready for the time attack season next year, just wish things would stop breaking.

Haven't updated this in awhile but here it goes.

Coilover has been rebuilt meaning everything was back in form and doing great.

Until this... defect station. Drove passed a cop car in pretty heavy traffic and got to a set of lights with the police about 10 cars behind, they decided it was an emergency to hunt me down. So sirens went on and everyone still stationary at the lights pulled into drive ways etc as did I only to see them stop next to me and escort me around a few roads to the station.

I got away quite lightly with only my exhaust being too loud and therefore defective at 101db (needs to be 90)

So I am now going to have to put a mid muffler in the car to clear the defect so it can be put up for sale... yep for sale.

This car has served me very well but due to my current situation that has been developing I will have to sell.

Here is a picture of the last event I was at. The first Motorkhana that SAUQLD held.

Did quite well in times on the last event winning by .8 of a second
