[Chris Rogers]

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

that is a function of the panel. mine has the same problem. I just ordered the complete set of panels. easier. I have a set of GTR panels here that are in decent nick - $100 and they are yours.

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...

Got the second door stripped and ready for paint prep

New storage space

Gave shaft a rub back/fresh rubber grease and prep for paint

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.

[Soundboyracer]

excellent work

[$$slowmedown]

excellent work

Thanks mate

Got some time on weekend to get back to the front end, dust covers were 2 min job to get off (with the right tools of course)

Pressed out the wheel bearings

Getting ready for more cleaning, not sure what to do with the aluminium hubs...anyone had them sandblasted before?

Will get prices on new wheel bearings as well......when in Rome.....

More cleaning

After, still plenty to do with the rack (acid wash, paint, new boots)

Will throw new tie rod ends as well, not sure on which ones yet....any experience/advice on Jap made aftermarket units or OEM Nissan the go....?

Not what you want

Shafts ready for clean down, repacking and new boots

[Miguelone]

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.

[Chris Rogers]

per our question today :

80834-04U00

80835-04U00

that is the inside weather strip. check those out and come back to me. they SHOULD be what you want.

[32Gts't]

Awesome build man, Keep up the good work.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Cheers mate, yeah it's starting to get to me but very slowly starting to see the light

14 months down....less than 4 to go. Put in 2 x 10 hour days, as always not a whole lot to show for it....

ABS first clean

More cleaning

Underbody fully bare and prep underway for new underbody spray getting done in a couple of weeks

More cleaning

Paint prep

Rear subframe finally coming apart

Anyone know how/why there would be oil inside the r/h side driveshaft/diff join??

Edited June 3, 2013 by $$slowmedown

[Miguelone]

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

[R32GOJIRA]

Coming along very nicely indeed mate.

Any chance you have those radial measurements i pm'd you about a little while ago?

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

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

Cheers Damien. Can not wait to start putting it back together

Diff bushes farked

Getting there

Removal of 20 yr old adhesive junk

Getting it done

Sump after acid wash

Mounts added in for modified Tomei baffle

Clear coated and ready to install

[Adzmax]

The sump comes up nice with a clear coat huh!

[Albus]

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.

I think a lot of us could put ourselves in this very catagory lol.
