Great choice in cars mate. Same as me. Au wagon daily and 32 GTR weekender.

Can't wait to see more progress.

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing the other day.

Got my Ford AU wagon which is so smooth that I could almost fall asleep driving it :turned:

It is such a practical car, I even think I may be able to use it as a tow car for the GTR.

Yep, I will be taking progress shots of the build as it goes along which is very exciting.

While I was at it thought it would be good to source a new coil pack harness as the other one looked rather brittle and stiff also got some brand new NGK platinum spark plugs BCPR7ES and I gapped t

I'm hoping to do the same thing but the tow bar on the wagon at the moment is only rated to 1600kg so i need to get the bigger one.

I guess I will have to get a stronger toe bar then.

Thanks for the info.

Awesome. Exciting stuff :)

Look forward to the pics of the build.

Can't wait to see this thing come together, any idea of time frames yet...?

Bring on the pics Anthony!!

Not sure on time frame yet, but will swing pass the workshop tomorrow, so hopefully can get some progress pics then.

Cheers,

Ants.

So I went passed the workshop yesterday.

Engine is almost out, and should be able to take pics early next week. So just need to be patient.

I'm kind of beside myself now because for the first time in 3 years I cannot do any work on my car! That's ok though because there is always something to do at my place!

I did however, managed to source some front outer dust / driveshaft boots for $19 each as the front RHS boot is split.

Peace.

FU CK ING AWESOME man! Cant wait to see what this will do.

Thanks man.

I can't wait either, but all good things take time.

It's really good to finally realize something I have been wanting to do for a looooooooooooooong time.

Next couple of weeks are going to be very tantalizing.

Nice!

btw did the oil pump come with the engine? If so wonder why Tomei didn't use their own?

Anyhow. Looking forward to how everything goes!!

Must remember that the advance spec is the little brother of the Genesis RB28. So it does not come with the Tomei Oil Pump and extended sump.

I did enquirer about getting it put on when I purchased it - but decided to deal with that at a later stage.

Nismo oil pump is better than N1 so I am happy with that..... for now.

Just need to be patient now (as hard as that can be :woot: ) and let Gav do his magic.

Is what you like about that green GTR the fact that it's clearly a GTT with a GTR badge? :P Engine looks fantastic man!

Ahhhhh someone has keen eyes!

Yes, it is a GTT.

However, it not only has the GTR badge it has a full font end kit on it i.e. bumper, fenders and hood. Brakes are also from R34 GTR.

Not sure what's under hood yet, but I will ask Gav to find out :P

Thanks for the nice comments.

Can't wait t'il its all done.

Are you sure it has GTR fenders? They look like GTT to me, but then the front bar matches up quite well. So either the front bar has been modified, or they are GTR fenders like you say and my eyes aren't quite as keen as they should be :P Even the bonnet looks like it has been chopped rather than a factory GTR one, but that could just be an issue with the catch that throws the fitment out.

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
