Yep. I sent him a pm regarding the same. But he is a busy, busy, busy boy.

Tein type flex were actually what I was looking at getting but they are discontinued. I think Tein coilovers are to harsh for our roads here. I think Bilstien are the way to go (although I have a thing for Tein)

Still juggling with coilovers, but will sort it out soon enough.

You just gonna recond the gearbox or something more exotic?

Yeah don't think the Tein's will be much use for what I am after....hopefully after talking with Gary and we'll both be on the right track!

Gearbox just a clean up man and some fresh Redline oil

Robbie and Anthony [email protected]

I am certain he wont mind receiving an email, even if he is busy.

Robbie - you have PM

:cheers:

You're a legend Richard. Shot him an email today. Thanks again mate

Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

Decided not to run the Nismo clutch line, instead went with the HPI line (thanks to PaulR32gtr build thread!) as removes the below:

y HICAS hard lines out as well, just the speedo cable left now

Why did you decide on the HPI as opposed to the NISMO product?

Hey Ruben, yeah mate Michael is onto it ha....the HPI line is direct from master straight to the slave and deletes all the hard line junk as seen in the photo

Good job!

This is something I could never do cuz when ever I work on some thing it explodes.

Great choice on Rims too!

Cheers Michael, ha classic mate definitely hope explodes on this one! Yeah I think the rims should work pretty nice against the fresh gunmetal grey paint work...

I keep going over it all in my head and hope it turns out to what I have pictured!

Well last night was a good one, late and pissing fkn rain here, but finally took delivery of these:

1. Ganador CF mirrors

They those diff bushes that were on ebay? Where a bargain if so!

I know the ones you mean ha, but got mine from a member on here for even cheaper :w00t:

Made a bit of progress today, good weather for working in the shed and watching the V8's...

Finally got the last of the HICAS system out, thank fk!

Love the Project Mu rotors Robbie. Personally I'm not a fan of the Ganador mirrors, they look great but hard to see out of. IMHO

It's interesting to me to see the condition of the parts as your pulling them off and replacing/fixing. I wonder if others are seeing what condition there GTR would be in.....

^^^^^^^ This. I think it's more the condition of a 20 year old car though. There are allot of bushes etc that people forget about. I think I might have to add a full susspention bush replacement to my list!!!

True dat ^. When you buy one a refresh, if it hasn't been done, is in order. Thats where the big cashish comes in !!

It's almost, at least it was to me, to refresh pretty much everything mechanical or moves. Including engine re-build - lmao

Although I paid for most to be done I never got to see to this detail the condition of old, so I'm lovin this thread.

Good build :)

They are nice, will do some comparison shots once stock fronts are off. Will see how Ganador's go, have always wanted to own a since I first saw them so many years ago...will be keeping standard mirrors as well.

Made a bit of progress on the weekend, the old boy and I knocked this guy up which will come in handy to fit rear subframe back up when the time comes

So much time goes into doing jobs like this! Shed should be a pretty good workshop by the time it's done....

Subframe got a clean down ready to start disassembly

Nice one Robbie.

It's good to get things accomplished.

Your not wrong in saying that jobs like this take a lot of time. Majority of it is about having a plan and being organized just like the rear subframe bench you fabricated.

It all goes a long way but at least you know the work is done correctly and to your liking.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
