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

[Ants]

Robbie. You are doing a sensational job. It's almost there and soon you will be able to enjoy it mate

[Shoota_77]

On day one of this build I was a little bit meh, same old same old but mate you've made all those blokes on the first few pages eat their words (and mine that thankfully I didn't put on paper!!). I hope they've since apologised!

This is truly and extremly thorough build and in 10 years will hopefully see this car worth twice any other 32 GTR out there.

Hats off to you on an inspiring build that is all about being brilliant at the basics.

Well done!

Drool... Keep it up bro!

Thanks man. It's understatement to say this build has consumed me. Nearly there hey, just so many little things to get sorted once she is all back together.

Hanging out for all the first's....

Thanks heaps Ewan. You're right, some wack comments were made considering the thread had only just been posted!?

Really appreciate your input mate. It's words like yours that give me the will to keep pushing on to get this done. As you could probably understand, at times it's hard to justify the time and effort...the hours that I have put into this build are pretty worrying but realistically that's what it takes to get a result that hopefully is worth it all in the end and will provide years and years of enjoyment/appreciation of achieving a dream.

I agree, I don't think it's unrealistic either that the bnr32 will appreciate in value over the next decade or 2 or 3...time will tell

Thanks again mate

Why do you want new OEM rear tops etc? Just get some ISC tops similar to whaterver you have at the front. The stock tops dont work well with the 65mm spring.

Are the springs all 200mm long because a 5kg/mm 8" front sprng is a little short on travel.

I probably missed it but what brand of top did you buy? Rubber or bearing type?

Thanks Kevin, haha just get work to pay for the parts?! You do the labour....

[colourclassic]

I might've asked a while back, can't remember, but what paint are you using for the suspension components? What sort of durability are you expecting?

[Hanaldo]

This is just fantastic... Who did the ducting for the oil cooler?

[babyskyline]

Wow!!! Just read through the whole thread and I'm amazed as to how much effort you are going to to make sure every detail is perfect.

Will be following the rest of your restoration now!!

[Miguelone]

Looks like the ducting that comes with the HKS kit.
