Front or back?

For the front I used a pair of the Clippan general fit retractables.

Rear is a lot harder, for rego I needed to get brackets made up that would support the retracting bit on the rear shelf, keep it far enough forward that it would fit under the window, far enough back that it wouldnt foul on the seatback and be anchored securely on the underside of the shelf (which isnt flat if memory serves me right. I did this by ripping out the rear seats and carpeting the back instead, and making up a carpeted solid panel to cover the ski portal

Front! Don't suppose you have the part number for those front jobs do you?

Did they bolt in ok or anything need moddin?g? My back ones aren't retractable so it doesn't matter really.

The ones I got for the fron tof my HR30 coupe were:

"Teh dropLink"

I went to a seatbelt business though,not Repco,etc. One thing I was a bit dissapointed about,the drop link wasn't quite as long as the originals,but liveable. Don't reuse the original drop links!!!! You will get kicked right up the arse if anyone discovers the belts have been restitched!

Just went and looked, I think I got the bit that anchors by the seat and threaded that through, then the buckle bit I put the plastic bit in first and wiggled it till it came through.  I'll take a photo later, my battery is dead atm

I'd be interested to know how you did it Adam. I looked at trying to use to originals in my HR,but it wasn't going to work without cutting the belt.Bit late for me now,but just for interest's sake :)

Boof,I think you'll find the reel is behind the quater trim.The blade part bolted to the inner sill in the pic there is the other end of the belt.

Adam.My buckles must've been bigger than the ones you have,as there was no way I could've fed them through th drop link as you've done...

Yeah thats right that part, but how in the hell are you going to feed them through the drop link?? Thats the bit i don't get!! Unless you can buy belts that have been fed through that drop link already???

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      All of those are near new/brand new/done under 10,000km! This means something! It also doesn't necessarily mean anything.... The idea is of course to fit wider tyres and rims, and to go with engine head updates, I'm sure it will be faster the subsequent time out. But TBH the difference will largely be in driver mod between one day and the next I'm sure. To say I am unseasoned after many years away from even driving remotely fast is an understatement. Giving it half throttle and "Whoa, that's a bit excessive.." and realizing I'm doing 80kmh in a 100 zone is evidence enough lol. I have noticed that there is heat haze/steam/air/something absolutely steaming out of the car after parking it. I didn't drive it in the 40C day for testing yesterday, but on Christmas day it was ~32 and you could literally see the air coming out from the bay after parking the car. Whether that's enough though..

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      Standard GTRs are boring and there plenty of them, do what ever you want to it and just remember nothing about them is cheap anymore and if you’re picky about how you want things done it gets even worse.    if it’s an n1 or something very limited then maybe care more about it’s heritage

      Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!

      As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car
