Still removing paint.

Just needs the window frame edges cleaned up. I can sand very close, but theres still a line of paint. Waiting for mini soda blaster for that and plastics.

So it will be totally bare and clean before etch primer.

Go see John at Trojan Motorsports. He has 3 stags out there at the moment.

2 he just got and the 3rd is his daily.

He may be able to help :thumbsup:

Thanks mate, will do. :)

Just spoke to John, taking it in next wednesday to get everything looked at/sorted.

Cheers for the tip. :)

All traces of paint gone (where im gong to spray) original nissan primer is tough stuff, edges done, panel beating done.

A quick wash and wipe with prepsol then its ready for body filler and etch primer.

Never used good body filler before, always was cheap sht. I used to dread the bog sanding.

I love pro body filler! :banana:

Its so easy to work with and edges feather nice.

Now i feel free to shape it as i please.

The rear guard is fully covered again, when i started to bash it out i realized its been work hardened, and about to tear and split. Its had all the bashing it can handle.

So it has to be re bogged, i dont feel confident cutting it out and welding in a new bit. If i could find a new bit.

Added a little touch to the door cards....

Credit goes to RBn1 and his build as this was his idea:

i see no proof of this. =D

Ive just ordered a whole heap of stuff for the GTR including full LEDs for all the lights. Can't wait till they get here.

please don't use paint anywhere on the door panels

(my inserts used to be silver, so was the cluster surround, and gearstick A/C surround)

good for it's day but got dated quickly

Nah no paint or anymore CF and very little lights. Need more moneys first though.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
