Hey Guys, I'm pretty new to the forums. My Names Josh and Heres the start of my build and I hope to continue writing this later on.

I Found my 1993 R32 GTST on Boost Cruising about 5 Months ago for a pretty cheap price. The only Problem was that the guy that owned it had hit a guard rail at 60km/hour and crumpled the LHR guard in. He tried to smash it all back out by him self but did a pretty shocking job of it, The boot didn't line up and was just sucking in all the exhaust gasses. I ended up taking the car to CDR Paint and Panel in Archerfeild, Who fixed it up perfectly! I couldn't recommend them any more they are great to work with! post-83149-0-53993000-1368244882_thumb.jpg

I got it home Changed all the oils and filters and check over every thing. I noticed that when you turn the head lights on high beam it just blows fuses. Had a better look and it looked like the guy had cut all the wires and its just shorting out on every thing! Dad and I ended up spending a few hours re-wiring it all up. It would slightly over heat when I would go up the mountains so i ended up buy A ASI 52mm Radiator for it and that fixed all the problems! The car also has a bigger Front Mount, 3" exhaustra straight through with a cat and cannon at the back. I put the radiator in but couldnt get the fan shroud to fit so i just made a little guard out of galvanised steal to cover the fan and a air box to stop me from getting intouble by the Police.

And When i was at school I got bored and made a Gear Knob haha.

Okay so by then the car was Running great except that I was only getting 250ks per tank with Bp98. It still does this to this day and its making me angry, Im not sure if it just need a tune or what?

Other than that I was happy until I was coming down the mountain at around 40ks and under steered into a Guard rail!

I had the car looking like it had never been in a crash 2 days after I did crash it.

This accident made me hate every thing about my car haha, until my mate was selling some fake Work Cr Kais, So I bought them, put some new tyres on and fitted them to my Skyline. They ended up poking out way to much being 18s by 9.5 in the rear. So i had to put it back on the hoist, rip them off and put my old wheels on. I hoped straight onto eBay and bought a guard roller. The roller showed up in a couple of days after work. Straight to the shed I went to Destroy my Brand new Painted Guard and my other shitty side. I must not of heated up the guard enough on my good side because it started cracking the paint at the bottom. I also noticed I rolled the good guard out a bit to much haha. Oh Well..

After this I bought Type M side Skirts That Suit the car Perfectly!

The gear Knob was made by just glueing bits of Acrylic together and using the Lathe to Shape it. Future Mods will come Slowly, With First Year Wages of $7.40 Per Hour. Ill be saving for Bigger Injectors, Nistune, New Intercooler, High Flow the RB25 Turbo, Bigger Fuel Pump, New Coilovers, and a few other little things..

Currently in need of some new coilovers as my suspension is knocking very badly! I bought a d max boot lip but I'm not sure if I want to put it on the car.. A couple of my mates have transferred to E85 and have been trying to make me go for it. Maybe in the future when they sell E85 on the north side of Brisbane.

So I just got scammed with those coilovers. Apparently the guy on eBay has been banned from eBay. :( In other news I bought a catch can the other day and should be here soon.

PayPal?

Havnt been on here in a while! Hey guys, So latley I have been struggling with money because of Horrible Apprentice Wages. I torn my tyre driving home and had to buy new tyres for the rear. Then last night my Clutch pedal snapped! So i ended up taking it out after i drove home with no clutch at all. Got my Mate to weld the pedal back up nice and strong and put it back in! Works great now haha. I put in a catch can because the old owner just cut the hoses from the rocker covers and just left them sitting there. IM in the process of saving some money soi can go to a morning sesh or Friday night Practice but that might be awhile with every thing braking :(
