I tried to order my TE37's in 9" + 0, but they are NLA :(

They will look the goods.

Can't custom order from Rays?

They came in Mag Blue when I got the car. Was thinking I should have kept it the same colour or gone red. Seeing as they will be used on track only.

Congratulations on the little one! :)

Build looks to be going well! How good is the AC in these older cars? The reason i ask is my R32's AC isn't working and I'm tossing up weather to try and fix it but I'm not sure the cost will really be worth it as it hasn't worked for me and the past owner said it didn't work for the 2 years he had it.. I guess i'm used to driving without it and it never really and if it's not fantastic i might skip out on it that's all

Cheers!

Thanks mate :)

The AC design is fine in 32's. Mostly the age/lack of maintenance that catches ppl out.

If your compressor is fine then it should be easy to get it fixed up.

Racepace did ask if I wanted to remove it all during my rebuild. It's not a dedicated track car that gets trailered everywhere so no way was I going to take it out. For a street car - keep it in, I dunno what country some ppl live in, taking Aircon out of their street machines :)

There's nothing overly complicated about the Aircon Sys mate. It's just a Nissan at the end of the day and that's good news for us :)

Congrats man, i got pit crew #1 due in June.

Our GTR funds are dropping.

That makes me a sad panda.

That's awesome news, mate. Tell me about it, I've had to delay buying the Nismo diffs etc. Life is real hard for us, oh the struggles ;)

Thanks :) - yeah it's probably a good idea, I've forgotten about the luxury lol. I will probably finish off my engine swap and get a quote for it, all these stinking hot days are making me have second thoughts!

It's all in the details.

New Door handles put in. Before and after.

The new supervisor for Health & Safety kept a watchful eye on me.

Finally after she took her unionised break it was time to mask up some minor trim parts and gave them a quick lick of paint.

Gloss black for lower door window trim & satin black for the wipers (masked off & blades removed so only the arms were painted)

Now, back to the Bathurst 12 hour!

Well this is embarrassing.......

No sooner had I put on those Nismo replica rear pods that I've bought a set of genuine ones. They cost mega $ but hard to pass up as they're rare as all hell - couldn't say no!

Would love more pics of the trim you painted, Was considering doing mine so would love to see how it turns out if you wouldn't mind?

Will do later tonight. You have to give them a light sand and primer first to make sure you get a nice even finish as they're a bit rubbery.

I hear you. but actually I painted them out of laziness. To replace them you will need to remove the side mirrors, and I wasn't in the mood to go about doing that just yet :)

Shivam man. Y u know unbolt them wipers off????

Paint those parts outside away from the car otherwise the risk of paint spatter from the spray paint is almost inevitable.

    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
    • Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
