How's the hunt on a shell going ?

came to Dead halt

Considering just fixing mine ftm

For the price that R32 GTR shells go for I could by an entire road worthy R33 GTR.

Insane prices

Plus car is currently with tuna

Getting a few little things done

Hopefully can reveal that this week

You can pick up a 33R for 6k!?

probably referring to getting a 32R shell then paying the $ to get it up to scratch etc, would cost the same as getting a 33R?

I'm going to weigh in my 2c here. Regardless of subjective aspects like looks, the 33 is a better car. Wouldn't be a bad move if someone was so inclined.

Fix the chassis, Ants! :)

no. but can pick one up for $15k

Good condition R32 shells I've seen are commanding $9k+ - ridiculous plus thats an 89 model :blink:

yeah mate, I do like the 33 but they are big bulky SOB's

I've worked out that my car is a perfect test bed for body repairs that I will undertake myself.

If I f**k it put well at least I will have learned something plus I can just transfer into something else like an R33 roller for example (although not my first choice)

I really do need to drive to yours and show you why 33's are better than 32.

:P

well then.....I shall await to be graced with your presence and that whale thing you call a GTR :P

Nice thread, read it in its entirety over the past week :w00t:

Definitely fix your shell. Fix shell, acquire dem mad bodywork skillz, acquire bishes :ph34r:
Seriously, given the amount of effort you've put into all the little things, surely it's worth the big effort to stick with what you've got :miner:
Looking forward to updates :yes:

thanks dude. am in two minds right now. Sell it and start new project or keep it and fix it

Strip it down and put it on a rotisserie and fix her up properly

yeah, thats an idea too. but will take an epic long time

Ants liked my post, this must mean he is keeping it. :)

Well, he have to keep it to stop vultures like me circling it for sweet fruit this thing have!

Buying your gtr isn't off the cards for le Ants.

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
