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:

did not want to say anything in his thread but

had mine done for over 10yrs. Time to redo it :P

but yes it looks the shiz

(wait till you put a mini coloured fluro in it that comes on when you open the door :whistling: )

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.

    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
    • 12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.
    • Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.
    • Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
