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:

Jess-arse cry-st!!!

Look superb mate!!

Can i ask where you got your full length carbon air deflector?

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

Hey mate, really great to hear you have enjoyed. Yeah roads are junk in Aus, def going to have to watch for craters! And will only be out on dry roads

That's a decent trip in yours, I am hoping to get mine over to Canada one day and get some time in the Rockies!!!

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

    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
