UPDATE:

Dropped the gearbox 2 weeks ago and haven't had a chance to work on the car since. Hoping to put in some hours this weekend to take the box to a shop to get the input shaft bearing replaced.

UPDATE

We've found the issue with the car and we believe it is the ARP fly wheel bolts. Apparently the bolts are too long and the flywheel causes that tapping noise. Ordered OEM flywheel bolts from Nissan and I will be putting the box back on next week when I fly home from work. 

Whilst the gearbox and everything else was out, I thought I would freshen up the underbody. Here's a few pictures from the small restoration project from last week.

Depending on the flywheel you have used you may need to cut the fly wheel bolts down, it’s common on multi plate clutch flywheels 

Yes that is exactly a friend of mine said. I just don't want to cut the bolt and take the risk of cutting it too much or not enough so I've ordered new oem bolts.

You measure stuff then cut. It isn't rocket science.

UPDATE

Flywheel bolt issue is now resolved.

I've attached both videos for reference purposes. It might help someone out. Very happy that the car is mechanically completed now. Next stage, paint! 

Saying that, I think I want to change the colour of my rocker covers, timing cover and the intake. Thinking of going Pearl yellow, any thoughts or recommendations?

Currently just finishing off the final touches off the car (assuming in 2 months it will be completely ready. 

Last weekend I've stripped the interior fully (excluding the dash) literally washed and cleaned everything up and replaced heaps of parts with new oem parts.

New pioneer 6.5' rear speakers. Also took the cluster out as someone decided to wrap the cluster facia in carbon fiber, looked disgusting. Replaced the cluster lights with LED White lights as well.

Whats next?

-Connecting the headlights (really struggling with this as the connectors does not match up);

-Side indicators (need to order new ones);

-Connecting fender indicator lights;

-Fit the front bumper;

-Fit the rear number plate lights;

-Drive the car for a bit and book the power tune.

Update:

Headlights are done, side indicators are done, fender indicator lights are wired in and done. 

I have to trim the N1 vents in order to fit the front bumper and it is hitting the intercooler. Keen to hear if someone else had this issue? 

 

Here's a video of the power tune.

The car made 517hp on 26psi E85 and 430hp on 98 at 18psi.  Roller dyno.

    • 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
