Thanks everyone, looking back at what I had planned I am really really happy with how it turned out, credit to Planned Signs at Minto who took this project as seriously as I did and make sure it was perfect. Looking at photos of the original car and models I think it's about as close I could get it to the original and I'm stoked

You coming trackday next month??

Doesn't look like it. Need some work done on the diff and gearbox. This is only the beginning :yes:

Was a nice car....now a very COOL car. Love the final touches...copies of period race cars often run the risk of being try hard BS shitboxes. Your's looks tough!

I know exactly what you mean. Most of the other replicas of his car I've seen looked like shit. A little attention to detail and a lot of assistance from some helpful people (especially from SAU) goes a long way!

Thanks again everyone who commented and pitched in with photos and logos and stuff. You guys are alright ;)

Hey guys, after a set of rear bumper lights like these:

post-21158-1283689789.jpg

anyone got some spares laying about?

I'm currently contacting places trying to find a brand new set. will let you know if i have any luck.

Just got the car back from Award. Had the gearbox reco'd and replaced all the synchros, modded the transfer case and shimmed the rear diff with Nismo plates.

Diff feels super aggressive and awesome just putting it on the trailer, should make a big difference. Here she is hanging out the front of Award. These guys have done a really great job at an awesome price. Terry knows about GTR diffs and gearboxes, I wouldn't take it anywhere else.

Was at Trackday Club on the weekend and had a shocker. Missed the first two sessions f**king around with the catch can, went out and bent the HICAS lock bar, said f**k it and went out again lost boost pressure so we packed up and went home. Also couldn't get the motherf**king shift-i to work. Not a good day.

At least the car looks good

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
