You need to differentiate between weight distribution and centre of gravity. The heavy wing helps with weight ditribution but not with the c of g.

Anyway out of interest are N1 rear windows available at all?

Yes, N1 windows are available.

Do you want one? or are you just referring to another method of removing the rear wiper?

Because the costs of the N1 rear window by far exceeds the costs just getting a rubber grommet (although N1 rear windows do look nicer :P )

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.

Nah I was just curious. Obviously a rubber grommet is cheaper than a window, not to mention the drug money Nissan want for the rubber sealing strip that goes around it. Probably why I have seen a few GTR's that have suffered from a broken rear window where the owner has full glass coverage on their insurance. Coincidentally. Allegedly. Apparently. From what I heard. On the internet. From overseas. Hmmm.

What I would like is a new windscreen with an antenna in it, rather than the local ones which I understand dont have them.

Activities from the weekend, got the front subframe stripped down ready to start paint prep

Plan is to get everything cleaned down, painted, replace hub seals (bearings feel good), some new ball joints to replace

Also have to get the rotor dust shields off, can anyone offer any advice on doing this easily/best way?

This is like watching a show of overhaulin, except instead of some random muscle car it's a GTR!!

How the hell did you learn to pull a skyline down into this many components and put it all back together? Did you work at the Nissan factory or something?

I cut my dust shields off yesterday with a 4" grinder and just left little tabs on there.

Cheers mate, appreciate the input

Haha cheers Nick, plenty more to come mate, still going with the shit stuff!

Just learning as I go hey, all about having the right people around you, right tools, a big shed and an old man who is always there to help

Yet to see how it goes putting it back together....that's the hard bit (but the best)

Yep definitely cutting wheel / grinder as Michael said

Thanks for confirming Paul

Took some photos of the bay when the light was a lot better, pretty happy with how it came up

Looked a bit worst for wear that one!

Might be worth cleaning up and putting aside in case you ever change your mind.

What do you have in mind to plug the small squirter hole ?

(an automotive plug from supercheap with silastic might do a good job)

Edit: JJR have the rear C panels for $160?

More junk for the bin

Awesome Robbie.

Looks like that nut was really FUBAR. I wonder if mine is going to be like that, if it is at least I will know what to do then :yes:

Kind of perfect timing as I received this in mail.

Will fit perfectly for the rear wiper hole (being 30mm).

For the nozzle hole I have found this of which I have just purchased from

We are all sorted :thumbsup:

      Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By Tekitsune 路 Posted

      I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo

      This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
