It's almost time... panels looks good. :D

Cheers. I am so happy with how the paint came out. Will get some pics someday that do it justice!

Im still waiting to see what the carbon intercooler surround looks like fitted up!!!

Only cause i want one haha.

Looking great mate!!

Thanks again, didn't end up using shroud man

Nuts! Looks so good! Where did you get the carbon exhaust guard mate?

Cheers mate. I got it off a member on here ages ago

Im at my desk furiously beating off to this.

Amazing

Hahaha :blush:

It's incredible to look at the underside of a car & think; "Crikey; those tyres sure are dirty!"

Amazing work, absolutely in awe of your patience & dedication. :worship:

Thank you Dale. She is definitely a labour of love and has given me plenty of grey hairs over the last 18 months! I just kept telling myself 'NEVER GIVE UP'. After all I have been dreaming of doing this since my first ride in a BNR32 over 10 years ago now!

The best ive ever seen,fantastic effort!

Cheers Matt. Wait until you see it in the flesh....

Still plenty of little things to finish off but she is getting very close. Finishing it off has been tough as I now spent most of my time doing this when I am in the shed

ENJOY :thumbsup:

Also if you didnt use the intercooler shroud, do you know if it fits well? Cause if you dont wana use it, id be interested for sure.

Hi Robbie, Gareth here....finally caught up with this thread.....have been rationing it for soooo long now not wanting to catch up and be able to view on demand........like i told you on the phone, sensational build, I have enjoyed it immensely, I know what people mean when they talk about not wanting to subject it to the aussie roads though, i just went for a 1500km mini-holiday in my 32 up in the victorian alps, some of the roads are in appalling condition, impossible to enjoy the drive when your too busy dodging pot holes and lumps in the road! If my car was in the mint condition yours is now in i would probably have cried on several occasions, as it's not i was only moderately cringing/pissed off when i couldn't dodge something...

can't wait to see it completed, not long to go...keep up the good work!

Hey man.

Can u give us some details on that toe hook u got on the front?

Is it a custom thing? Or kit? What's it bolt up too?

Any pics?

Looks like one of these:

Amazing work mate - looks sensational.

Quality of finish is better than factory!

Couple of queries....?

No dust boots on the dampers?

Did you consider powder coating instead of paint? Especially the larger items like sub frames and the like that a a major pita to take out to repaint when the inevitable stone chips occur. Powder coat - when prepared properly, would give a much more resilient finish.

Look forward to a similar level of OCD on the interior!

Looks superb Robbie..........just absolutely mint superb!

U have to be excited because I know I am :)

Thanks again mate. Yep getting excited to finally see everything come together and get see final result

I just had to change pants....

Classic haha

Me too. That looks amazing. I'm speechless.

Cheers mate, prepare yourself

Thanks again Damien. Yep, it's a Garage Defend item ex Japan. I wasn't happy with the finish on the shroud so didn't end up using it

I do still have it but

i just finish read through all 22 pages... all i can say is wow!!

absolutely amazing job mate, credit to you for sticking with it!

Now when do we get a vid of this baby purrring? :D

Cheers, always great to hear feedback. Def took some commitment but worth it in the end.

Will get some video up soon

Thanks Clive, I was going for that, she is my interpretation of the ultimate GT-R.

Good points, Bilstein didn't supply any boots...has anyone fitted some??

Powder coat never looked into but yeah good thinking. No idea what it would to do subframes....will wait and see how paint holds up

That looks so awesome mate! I hope i can see videos from the car in action? :-)

Best regards from germany!

Thanks again Kevin, will be a while before videos of her in action, you can't rush perfection haha

Bloody brilliant build mate, it's been a pleasure to read. Keep up the excellent work! :wub:

Great to hear thanks Abz, appreciate the feedback mate. Not long to go now, will do. Cheers

    • I can also smell fuel in oil if that helps. 
    • Hello, after engine rebuild(new cylinder liners and piston rings, arp headstuds, metal cometic tripple layer gasket, all new main/rod bearings) and roughly 100km made I did measure compression and it’s (1-6) - 80, 60, 90, 120, 110, 135. It’s rb25det series 1 - hydraulic lifters. Measured on cold engine. Didn’t check on hot due to overall car problems such as broken 3rd gear, idle issues, misfire etc. I did smoke test only on 2nd and 5th cylinder bcs soldering iron used with this method broke itself. So after setting cams to side - side 90 left/right angle I can see smoke coming off from intake manifold and turbo exhaust flange. 5th didn’t notice any smoke. Shop did head, valve etc job but I assemble it by myself. So I thinking about lifters. I don’t remember if they were soft or not it was long time ago. In my opinion I didn’t bleed them and they can be opened more than they should be. Can it be more likely possible? Or timing can be off by 1 teeth and can cause such weird compression? But if timing would be out wouldn’t it be like such big difference across all cylinders? Please help I’m so sad it happened. 
    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated! Stagea Differential - Note two top tabs, one bolt hole for ATTESA pump mounting   300zx Diff - No mounting tabs Also found this mounting kit ?? https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
