Oh my, your killing me mate ahahahahah. Very nice. Have you been driving it much? Any dramas or is it running as smooth as it looks?

Amir

Thanks again Amir. Haven't driven her much really...but saying that I did get out on some of the local hills around here on the morning of my 30th with a mate.

It was absolute pure bliss. Having the roads to ourself on cool clear morning and being able to flex ALL of the R's muscles was poetry in motion.

The car surpassed all my expectations and more, I tried my best to build this car as the 'complete package' in terms of looks, handling, braking, drive ability and smooth reliable power and I couldn't be happier.

It really is such a pleasure to drive and the way it performs on the tight, steep, twisting roads has to be experienced to be believed.

The only issues have been the front driver side tyre scrubbing on the inner guard where it screws up to the front guard. Also, she blows a little white smoke on letting off the throttle, which I think is the ageing valve stem seals.

Oh it's also blowing a bit of oil out of the rear diff breather...? Anyone else had this happen? (it's not over full)

Nice work on the restoration mate. epic result !!!

Thanks Darren

Just went through all 31 pages, I am speechless! Congratulations on making your dream a reality mate!

Thanks heaps Tommy, cheers for taking the time to view.

Was this at WTAC? i went through the entire show and shine on Saturday and didn't see it?

Absolutely gutted mate, we couldn't end up making it at the last minute which really really hurt.

Next year mate. Maybe ill get my ass into gear and enter mine as well

Ok so 31 pages of pure awesome in 3 days :thumbsup:

I wish I had have seen this sooner but I don't spend much time in the build threads, as there have been quite a few things I could have helped you with

When I removed the 4WS from mine I found a place that sales a Allen key plug for like $12 that fits directly into the pump to block that feed, will post pic of it soon, I hind sight though I should have just removed the splinter block and run the rear pump section through a oil cooler and back to the reservoir

The helper spring on the back coilover should be put on first with the seat between the two spring sliding over the shock body so to stop side way movement under no/low wieght conditions while pushing the car hard

The hose that goes from the oil cap to the catch can effectively allows the oil mist to bypass the Hi-Octane cam cover breathers, IMO all gases should leave motor via the cam cover breathers

Please don't get me wrong I have really i joyed reading this epic build and am just trying to give constructive advise for you to consider :thumbsup:

Thanks mate. Will look into the rear coilover set up this weekend...

She's getting first oil and filter change this weekend :wub:

Also a tasty little Ti number to add...

First oil n filter change done after 2,500km, all looked good.

Given the sump extension/drain bolt style we had to chock up the passenger size wheels so she would drain properly

Cheers Angelo, yeah I'd like to think so!

The problem is keeping it in this kind of condition....not easy at all.

This is the only video so far...first time at the track, QR, last week. Turn the volume LOUD!!

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
