“Rbn1” R32 Gtr - 7 Years In Storage – Time To Restore And Rebuild.

[RBN1]

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.

What was the name and location of your aircon place? Price and service seem reasonable

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!

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

Our GTR funds are dropping.

That makes me a sad panda.

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

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.

Gotta represent.

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!

[Dylan454]

Looks like brain washing to me lol

[RBN1]

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!

[Anfanee]

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

[Anfanee]

hahahah well done

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.
