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.

mate, you are going to be be able to relive what all the drivers who bought new GTR's felt and then some with your improvements. I hope you plan to keep this car for life because selling it would be a crime.

Can I ask what the difference is between Nismo suspension arms and the factory stuff?

Nismo stuff has Nismo stiffer than stock rubber bushes, silver paint & stickers.

Absolutely Hugo, plan to have her for a lifetime mate!

Out of curiosity, where did you source the suspension (or is that a bit hush hush)? And what spring rates are they?

Sourced from Gary Cook aka Sydneykid here on SAU Damien. His email is garycook@bigpond.net.au

Can I ask what the difference is between Nismo suspension arms and the factory stuff?

What Michael (Miguelone) said. Picked these up cheap and near new so easy way to get fresher and firmer bushes that aren't 20 years old. They do look to have a few extra gussets as well and neater welds. And come in silver which will look purty... :yes:

How do the Eibach springs compare with the Whiteline springs that Gary used to bundle with his recommended setup for GTR's and GTSt's?

No idea sorry mate, best to shoot Gary an email

djr81 - appreciate the input re suspension tops mate, will shoot you a PM, definitely looks like the go

Have had some big weekends of late and making some decent progress...

Pulled out all the plastic bumpers and body kit to start the strip down, cleaning and paint prep process...not fun

Noticed the factory plastic skirts were warped and decided to remove the metal inserts and leave them out for good

Moving along quite well. What are you doing for interior ? New old stock?

Will prob get new aftermarket carpet in black or custom...yet to get over to my upholsterer and talk it all over

There is also this to attend to

Robbie,

You can get 98% of everything from Nissan. The real question is can you purchase it from them without getting ass raped from them....

Door seals and certain molds can be sourced locally at far cheaper prices than Nissan.

Just need to look them up ;)

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
