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.

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
