Because of the heat, fibreglass flexes in the heat and warps, its cracked along the the edge where the headlights are.

metal guards as well as a coupe tail light conversion is being considered.

this happens due to incorrect fitment of the fibreglass guards...Take it to someone that knows what they are doing

Nice update!! This thing needed a 26!!

When you had popped out your rear window, did you have to buy new rear window seals?

yep, needed new seals. opted for the generic ones for now, ill be redoing all genuine seals when its redone again with metal guards, hows your wide body going?

Got all mine from the von bibra nissan in QLD, still available and surprisingly cheap

He's done a few mr2/ferrari kits and they've all come out perfect, he's gonna redo it soon, but yeah, ill be getting steel guards made up and cutting the old metal guards. That way, its stronger, I can run 10.5s without being worried ill smash the guards and no ripples!

male stripper.

I've just painted my engine bay, about to get 26 in and rest of driveline all up and running. Then I will tackle the widebody and paint it myself. April is the deadline.

I'm going to try moulded like yours first, if it fails then I'll cut some out of a GTR coupe and do it like the guy did with that BMW wagon.

I've just got a low km 26 out of an unmodified 93 model 32 half cut. I will build it when it goes pop, which I'm hoping wont be for a little while at least. I'll start a build thread when the motor is in so I dont thread steal from you anymore! lol

What specs are you building your motor to, turbo etc?

Sweet!

I'm going forged rods and pistons, balanced crank, block work as usual, light headjob.

ill be running rebuilt lemans turbos with stock piping, airbox and cooler, expecting 320kw.

raised the car today, fixed my headlight and exhaust leak so ready for rwc on Friday.

also called up some engineering places to get some metal guards made up.

so my beater came past today for a smoko/coffee/talk some shit.

had a look at the car, and he isnt happy with it, pretty much said i really should go metal.

so once its registered, ill start looking for some clean GTR rear guards to chop up

Looks good. It took a lot of effort to get mine right

I love your car!

how did you overcome the cracks and ripples?

Congrats dude

Naow skid.

thanks boys, I did take it for a thrash Jesse.

rego is on Monday then back to the panel beaters to finish off the paint, fix the cracks etc

so i was on my way to vicroads, literally turned out of work car park, turned the corner and stutututututerrrrrr... the car just konked out...

i pushed it to the mechanic next door to my shop(who thankfully knows RBs inside and out) and turns out the stale fuel + very few starts over a year and the hot weather have cooked the plugs. drained the tank, new plugs, fresh 98 and its purring again. but it was missing on boost so i taped up the coil packs for now and its fine!

having missed my appointment i was furious.

but.

with every low theres a bigger high.

her names sarah, and she wants to play :)

    • You'd be better off digging a pit and standing under it to shoot it.
    • The easiest way would to be ignore the oscilloscope, grab a multimeter, and make sure all the main connections are right. An oscilloscope will give 99.9% of even technicians so much grief, as they have no idea what things should even look like on an oscilloscope. Which is also even more likely for someone who's first ever major work on a car is this If the battery volts are dropping down so low, the LDV will reboot the ECU, when it does so, it will drop out the start circuit. If this is occuring, the battery voltage should also come back up. Give it a few tests, even simple ones like when you're attempting to crank it, measure voltage from the engine block, to the negative terminal. You might find you've got really bad connections somewhere. My guess is the "new" motor has something like a shit starter motor, at which point, you can swap the starter motor from the old motor, to the new motor. Before I did any of the above though, I'd 100% confirm the battery in the vehicle. Most jumper packs are absolutely useless, especially if a battery has a bad cell for example. Also the new modern "jump packs" if you don't know what you're doing with them, you won't even get them into high current stage. So go back to basics, check the battery, especially with a known good one as a replacement test. Check ALL the wiring, this includes where they're bolted onto the battery, and bolted onto the starter motor. Check all the earth straps are on. Measure your resistances across your earth straps. A good check here is to measure voltage across the earth straps while you're trying to crank it. If you're seeing voltage, you've got high resistance joints! Oh, and once you've done the above, check the battery over again.
    • For most rotisseries, as Duncan has mentioned, you really don't want a full car on it, you want a stripped shell. And imagine how many more weeks THAT is going to add to working on the car...
