Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

Got a chance to get the rest of the dash out over the last few days and started to suss out the items below

IMG_5921.JPG

1. OEM clutch line

IMG_5926.JPG

2. OEM slave cylinder

IMG_5934.JPG

3. OEM clutch pedal bracket

IMG_5944.JPG

Looking to do a decent amount of track work and had heard this bracket was prone to breaking. Having a closer look you can see it has previously been welded up due to exactly this

IMG_5939.JPG

IMG_5942.JPG

All the above items are being upgraded to Nismo items below:

IMG_5947.JPG

Nismo item looks to be a lot stronger, so will hopefully love the track conditions

OEM clutch cylinder is also out ready for new OEM Nissan item to go in

Nice build buddy. Keep up the good work.

Cheers mate. Been flat out with it but not much to show for it!

still haven't got a chance to get motor progress photos....fuuuaarrrkkkk!!

It's not the biggest build, fastest , blingy ...etc....

But it looks like it's going to be thourough and complete.

Kudos to you mate.

Love to see this level of TLC being showerd on a R32 GTR

:thumbsup:

Yeah cheers Richard. Hopefully end up with a reliable, fun and clean 32R

Got started on the front end, front sub-frame is now ready to drop out and to start the strip down

Also, got started on completing removing the HICAS system (was initially just going to throw the lock bar in but decided I want the additional room in the engine bay room and why not save a bit of weight!)

Don't worry. All good things take time. I am pedantic with everything I do to my car which results in a lot of time being spent but is all worth it at the end.

Cheers Damien. Hoist = super fun happy time ha. Yeah wheels should hopefully work with the look I am after, time will tell

Yeh spacers = junk. Not much progress of late...but will keep on keeping on!

Started getting the rear apart ready for paint prep and new rear tail/reverse lights to go in:

1. Getting rear exhaust shields out and ready to cleaned and painted

IMG_5903.JPG

IMG_5908.JPG

My little friend, works great to loosen up the sealant around rear tail lights

IMG_5909.JPG

This is where we got up to, scraper works to get most the black gummy sealant off, then just thinners on a rag worked sweetly

Nice job man.

Ditto on rear exhaust shield.

Mine looked liked yours but I then sanded (by hand) to look like this (which took aaaaages)

If you can get it sandblasted though do it.

Keen to see more updates :thumbsup:

Nice work, Robbie. Your build gives me a lot of ideas for my 32-R. You're right about changing the clutch cylinders. Mine gave out about a month ago. I had to replace them with OEM. Ironically, I'm probably going to replace them with NISMO items like you did, lol.

Thanks Evan. Will do mate, I may have enlist Paul to help me with install as he is the expert!

I have seen your cage and it's unreal mate. I am thinking I won't cage this one as I understand can't legally have weld in cage in QLD and this car will be street registered.

I may think about a bolt in for safety aspect but even then would need to remove rear seats etc and change rego to a 2 seater...

Just doesn't seem like the hassle as want to keep this one as clean as possible

Cheers Ruben. Good to hear mate, have spent considerable time on researching parts, mods etc so good to help it's helping you out.

Yeah hopefully everything will be fresh and ready for the track!

Great build! Eager to see whats next...

      R32 non hicas power steering solenoid issues!

      By D.phantom · Posted

      So I’m having issues with my power steering. the obvious heavy and light and comes on and off randomly now it’s constantly heavy. I’ve read through forums regarding this issue and what I’ve gather is that it’s referring to hicas deletion. That’s the problem mine didn’t come with hicas.    I’ve rebuilt the steering rack, pump, changed the bent hardline on the rack and taken out the solenoid to clean and loosen up the actuator, applied 12v to get it moving. Roughly checked the loom to see if there’s any damage to the loom and nothing. Now I’m checking the wiring. I’ve tested the wiring to the solenoid and it’s fluctuating between 0.07v to 0.03v. Does anyone know what it’s supposed to be reading? 5v? Anyone one know how this all works? Is there a fuse in between? What else is it connected to? How does it connect to the speed sensor? A resistor fried in the ecu? Please help. It’s been years Thanks in advance

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench
