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.

Thanks, Robbie. I'm enjoying every minute of this.

I'm working on a set of Bilsteins with Gary. Y'all are blessed to have that gentlemen in your corner. I read up on the suspension 101 thread here along with reading The Ultimate Guide to Suspension and Handling from MotoIQ. Both resources helped me identify want exactly I need... (not want). I think I'm 90% ready to close the deal with Gary.

I'm looking at Whiteline antiroll bars, endlinks, and I was keen on the NISMO rear suspension components until I found out that its basically same as stock except with harden bushings. I'm probably going to buy polyurethane bushings to throw on the stock components.

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 ;)

Cheers mate, really just after that piece that is all bunched up in photo

Thanks Chris. Ah ok, thought that might be the case, PM sent re door cards

Great to hear Ruben. Sounds like you're well on your way...when is you're build thread coming?! Or are you just getting suspension components sorted for now?

And where in the world are located?

Hope so mate, two GT-R's round there will be better than one!

I've got just over 4 months until my deadline so things will really ramp up over the next few months...

Nice Robbie. Always in need of more storage space.....just so handy.

Yeah that front sub-frame also tends to have some rust as its usually a jacking point

Looking good mate.

I live in jp. My GTR blog is on Sousa (Skyline Owners USA -f*kyea). I only update it every two - three weeks. I know I should've posted it here instead but I didn't want to leave any Australians hungry per my lack of maintenance and updates.

I replaced my Tie rods/ends with Taiwanese made Li-Ning units off ebay, was a bit sceptical at first but they were reasonably priced and are a fair bit beefier than the stock units.

There should be no reason for oil in there, someone may have put a bit in at some point to stop rust occuring?

I know right!? The diff seems fine and no leaks....

Yeah didn't think of that...lets hope

Read all 11 pages, build is crazy. You've added and changed so much you could call this a new car.

Amazing on how you've done so much, how did you learn to do it all?

See, I'm good at taking things apart but putting them back together... Well that's another story.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stop on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, you need to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By Duncan · Posted

      Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.
