MIG, oh and it needs a gun apparently. 

A mate who welds said its "a pretty good welder". 

I was going to just do the buy a cylinder from bunnings thing. 

Mig is pretty good, quiet universal and somewhat easy to use, the hardest thing is setting them up. Most guys just set them up by the sound. 

 

Yeah perfect. They don't offer the 'trade - n - go gas' at my local Bunnings, so Gasweld/Sydney tools are the go-to for me.

Do people still build GT-Rs on here?!

? Hmmm. Not sure! Apparently Pulsar > GTR ??

Since the car has been off the road for so long, the brake rotors had began rust. So gave them some love in the bead blaster and scuffed the brake pads up (figure 8's on a sheet of 80 grit) 

 

Flushed and bled all the brakes, for good measure. 

 

It's getting alot closer to driving it now!

I've had good success scuffing pads before, same pricess pretty much. 

How far away is your tuners dyno?

Yeah it's worked quiet well, spoiler alert... the car is currently driving ?

I've been slack updating this. 

Untuned, however AFR's look excellent. Haven't given it a decent rev, obviously, however I'd be happy to cruise on the highway with it. Drives surprisingly well for a map, which isn't even 'SR20 Specific' 

The dyno is less than 100kms from me.

Had to slightly modify the front cross member to allow extra clearance for the 4-1 headers. 

After that, finally drove the thing!!

 

Obviously light load, watching AFR's like a hawk. 

 

Drove it down to a mates shop where I did a wheel alignment.. for the street. For now..

That is a nice exhaust, along with the rest of the car

Thank you very much! The outside of the car definitely isn't the best. However that's never been my strong suit either. 

 

I'm planning to have a small amount of paint and panel done in the new year, although I'm not going all out, as the car will be used, not a trailer queen / garage ornament.

Looking good. 

Slightly more rear camber? Is that a FWD thing? 

Engine bay looks mint. 

Basically it helps the rear end hang on through a corner, prevent the back end over taking the front lol. 

 

Thanks man!!! 

 

Update: car is at the tuners now

 

And a Skyline for all you SAU Junkies 20191202_153734.thumb.jpg.451e0f2a02b6e6b004e48f68ade342a6.jpg

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
