all the fab work and aero looks great. can see many many hours in there.

Cant wait to re-wire my car... it will be a good feeling when yours is done.

Thanks mate, the man hours in fab work add up real quick when it comes to one off custom parts... But the end result is worth the effort and cost!

The wiring was a disaster! Looking forward to having it all neat and tidy, the idea is to spend the money on it now and hopefully keep any electrical gremlins away for the future!

wow awesome build, subscribed

Thanks mate...

Some updates were posted half hour ago on Vacy Smash Repairs FB page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vacy-Smash-Repairs/303873696482857

These pics show the interior painted. head over to their page and give it a like for more updates.

Nice updates, looking forward to testing and your impressions :)

Me too mate! I am sure testing will have some hiccups as so much is new, but it is all part of the fun!

agreed... awesome vision and build. Great to see such good quality

well done keep pushing hard and just take a photo of the smile on your face once you've had the first drive and everything goes to plan !

Just the original white...

Call me Mr Original... lol

I plan on keeping the whole car looking plain as a GTT/R should look.

I will be keeping stickers/logos to a minimum, however the companies that have supported me so far will also have a say in this.

Yes I have a say in it [emoji322]

These last few pages..... Wow!

The changes have taken me quite a while, i was just a bit busy and didnt get around to doing updates for a long time :) I underestimated the amount of work it would take by quite a bit lol

Thanks mate! That day is coming very soon...

Lol no you dont, Shh :P

Need to sort your right foot out first hahaha

Its the left foot i have issues with, sprained ankle to be precise lol

Throttle control is not an issue, sticky tyres masked this problem!

Looks spiffy in white. You'll need to wear sunglasses :)

Any half decent build takes time and I don't reckon many average-Joes can set realistic time frames and hit the initial completion target. This thing should be worth the wait though.

Yeah even in the booth it was very bright! I am assuming once the dash and seat etc are back in it should cover some of the brightness but it sure looks better then it did a few weeks ago!

The team at Vacy Smash Repairs are doing an amazing job, cant thank them enough for everything so far!

Always ssh over here

    • 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
