Bnr32 - Once In A Lifetime Build All Gt-R Owners Must See

[R32DaveGTR]

awesome work. Loving the Tein strut braces!

Nice job Robbie.

Getting that rear subframe all cleaned up takes some time and patience.

Good job.

Always love OEM parts.

Cheers Anthony. Sure does. Need some more time to get stuck in and get it and the front one apart and then start on paint prep

awesome work. Loving the Tein strut braces!

Thanks mate, yeah they should do the job!

Quick update:

Got the bay painted today!! What a mission...not looking forward to trying to keep it looking like this when putting motor and everything else back in

Plan is to have motor, gearbox and complete front subframe finished and assembled and lower the body down onto them

Bit worried about getting the motor up through the middle of the chassis without scratching it

Anyone with experience, please let me know your thoughts

lovin this build!

Hey just a quick question where abouts are you getting all your parts from, mainly the OEM parts?

[gtr jet]

I put my subframe and engine in from underneath. The only thing I dould think of would be to stick some carpet or something similar on the rails when sliding the engine up.

If you're going to do it with the intake manifold and turbo's bolted on then it'll be a bloody tight squeeze. I had probably less than a 10mm gap each side.

Just take your time and make sure it's lined up right. Shouldn't be too difficult when you think about it as this is how they do it when the cars are built.

Cheers Nick, doing my best with photos...wish I had the patience to do more and had a decent camera!

Nice. Cheers for the input Michael. How did it work out for you? You get it done with no paint damage...would it help leaving the intake mani off and just bolt that on once in?

My thoughts exactly Michael

[gtr jet]

I got a tiny bit of paint scrapage but nothing serious. My bay was pretty rough anyway so I wasn't too cautious.

The Inlet is a bit of a pain to work with and is easier to bolt on when the motor is out but I think the front diff hangs out almost as much as the manifold does anyway.

If it was me I'd just bolt it all on before hand again.

Mate great build so far.

not sure I'd say "1 OF A" kind..

perhaps you haven't seen this?

Thanks mate. I am confident mine will not be the same as that 32R...

Plates suit any unique car not just mine so might be worth something to someone down the track...

Got the rear cleared out of and have a few problems/questions...

Ok so questions:

1. Rear seatbelts - factory Nissan ones were still in car and mounted but had been cut....Aus seat belts had been installed (I assume as part of compliance) but they were mounted through the parcel shelf....these were mounted so poorly my jaw dropped upon inspection!

How are your rear seat belts mounted?

I have another 32R here and it has the OEM Nissan rear belts in it and looked safe and sound.

2. Rear interior trim removal - quarter panel glass is coming out and need to sort these seat belts, how do you remove this without breaking it to pieces???

Or is it just get it out and bin it then order new stuff?

3. Rear wiper removal - best just to source and install the the N1 grommet or whatever it is?

Thanks in advance, appreciate your input! Cheers

[Miguelone]

Get a glass guy to come and remove your rear quarter windows, if they do break them they might even pay to replace the glass.

[$$slowmedown]

Also, not sure what to do with rear parcel shelf...

Was just going to strip the fugly carpet junk off and get black suede or similiar to suit rest of interior....anyone got any suggestions...perhaps something cool I don't even know about?

Suppose just see what upholsterers say...

Cheers. Onto it Michael, got an unreal glass guy, he is organising new front windscreen etc as well

Robbie with the rear wiper removal all you need is this

Costs $25 - fills in 36mm hole gap which is what you need and part number is OWC36

I am going to buy one so if you want one let me know as postage will be even cheaper.

I also got the matching N1 windscreen washer bottle, but is not mandatory.

For the rear seat belts I recall them being attached on the rear quarter panel pillars but I will have to check that again.

New seat belts can be obtained by Klippan Australia - I have the part numbers somewhere in my garage. I got it from Cheapa Autospares a few years back as Super Cheap did not stock them anymore.

Not sure about the rear quarter glass panel - I just know that they do not come in tinted versions anymore from Nissan so don't break it.

So want to do all these sorts of things to my car, but so little room and not enough money lol.

VERY envious.

Correction - part number for wiper hole delete cap is OWC30 - fills in 30mm hole which is accurate for the R32 Skyline.
