Very nice! Freshening up the L24, or just going to see how it goes?

Im just going to clean the motor with new welsh plugs, water pump, thermosat, exhaust studs and a few gaskets. i just want to get the car on road with the L24 then see

how things go from there.

Still looking for a pedal box and gearbox. So if we can get some fine weather, i can fit all these parts to the motor and fit it as soon as i have a gearbox :cheers:

Couple of things learnt today, first and most important is always ask before buying lol. And here are the rest.

240k and 240z do not have the same door handles.

Ebay photos looked close

But different shape and size

C110 and C210 do not have the same door locks.

Look the same from the front

But from behind the they are different, i tried changing the backs over but they are different too.

Installing this required more skin then i liked lol

Also 240z pedal boxs are not the same as as 240k, but the 260c looked about right but was not able to strip this car of it.

This has made me want to finish the car even more so updates should come a little quick for 2 weeks or so.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through your build thread. Can I ask, apart from Ottomoto, where else have you sourced all your parts/stickers from? I'm currently building one and any help would be appreciated.

I am in Sydney as well so maybe when mines done we can go on an old school GTR cruise!

Alot of my parts are from Yahoo Japan and other sellers like Rubber-soul and cityauto which are japanese sites.

If looking on Yahoo go throught importmonster so its all translated for you, Here is what you sheach for ケンメリ

There are 3-4 of us(all building GTR clones) that share info,sites and good buys we find. Also try help out with spares and what not we have picked up.

Hmmm many months not a great deal to up date. Still waiting to get my SS trim back over 6 weeks late.

I got these parts today so need to have the flywheel machined then i mite get this motor back in. Be good to get back into this car again. Also have JDM lights on the way too.

    • Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.
    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
