End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards). Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall -

Its been a while! Finally thought to do something on this car, so here we go. This will be a slow burning, multiple posts as I spend 0.5-1hr a day on this job, over multiple days... Full set of GKTech suspension arms! Step 1: Buy Arms, done! Step 2: Start removing stuff. HICAS was easy. Rear suspension arms are now gone, they were a bitch but breaker bars with long handle extensions, 2 1.5hr slots later, stock arms are off! Next step, remove the hubs and take them to work to press out the bearings and bushings! -

Lots of work to the car... - Major service done by Glende Garage which included timing belt, water pump, all fluids, all filter, some old cracked hoses, wrecked gaskets and random bits and pieces...very happy with the work and service - Repair of 5 broken exhaust studs also by Glynde Garage - New Wheels! Set of Rays Gram Lights 57DR, down to 18" with Pilot Sport 4 tyres....car looks muchhhh better in my opinion...very happy! -

Some small but highly effective work done on the car today, got some small door dings fixed! You can see the before and after. If anyone is looking for a paint-less dent repairer, Dentech Paintless Dent Repairer in South Australia is highly recommended! -

Question for fellow Skyliners - What are good intake setups that people use? I am looking for a good looking, well built setup which looks almost OEM. I have no intrest in having pods hanging around in the engine bay. Is just the HKS performance filter a good enough upgrade? -

2) Installed big brakes ? This was a project of mine which I wanted to do since I bought the car...my R33 now has R34-GTR Brembo Calipers, PMU Pads and Disks and GKTech Stainless Steel Braided lines, running Castrol Response DOT4 fluid. These were fairly more intrusive, but some tips if someone else is trying it out: - Go to a proper fastners shop and gets bolts from there that fit, forget the old stuff that came with the calipers - Get a nice expensive drillbit and some cutting fluid to drill your hubs - Get an angle grinder or a reciprocating saw, this works just as well - Make your own bleeder with some hose and a clear bottle, rather than the 1-man bleeders you can buy at auto-parts stores Apologies for the average pictures, car needs a clean and a photoshoot with the new brakes.... -

Updates to the car: 1) Installed a cheap chinese Android Headunit The system works..ok for the cost. I am still trying to set it up and giving different apps a go, I will check in again once I have it setup well... This was easy to install. I bought a Nissan to ISO adapter from SuperCheap Auto, cut the ISO plugs off and wired in the headunit plug and voila, it works! -

Completed a coolant flush over a couple of days while I waited for parts to come in. There are currently 2 majorish projects going on with the car, more to come very soon...hopefully....
