Bank account left the building ages ago, trying to do most things myself so I don't have to rely on migoreng 😆

Here are some newer bits n pieces with some before/after shots...
Don't need to write a paragraph of crap so just enjoy the pics.
The rack got a tickle of all new seals, washers, screws etc etc
Also couldn't leave this alone..
Hubs all refreshed with everything new, except the hubs.
Little niggly bits and plenty more to come.
All new seals, bearings, king pins etc..
Couldn't keep the old shit sticker so it's also new.
Bonnet latch got black zinced..
ABS unit got vapor blasted and turned out so much nicer than what it was!

Good luck with it, nut and bolt restoration is a deep rabbit hole to be jumping into.
you keeping the bay factory matte or matching body colour?Matching body colour on this one, so then the under-bonnet gets done the same too. Nissan should've had it body colour from the beginning.

well this build certainly brings back memories - well done
It will be much nicer now as I have friends that are bad influences, so i've gone and bought basically every nut, bolt, bracket etc all new and get anything and everything else powder coated etc.
Going to be a fun time 😭- 1

Been a good 3 years since updating this, might aswell show something happening but keeping it short and sweet..
I had a slight issue (slowly got worse) where the car was blowing blue smoke on decel.
Looks like either the guide is cracked or head, or both.
Thought the head has to come off at least, so why not pull the whole engine, subframe and everything else to respray the bay and do a full nut and bolt restoration on the front end 🤮
So respray is booked in for end of the month, I have several boxes of new nuts and bolts, clips, clamps etc etc to go in once it's ready to go.
Engine will be shipped off to the builder early next year to get new rings and bearings as it has done about 15,000kms since being built.
New head will go on with V-Cam and DBW, sticking with the same turbo although may upgrade to a billet wheel for more efficiency and aim for 850hp and leave it there.
Gearbox is still stock so that will need to be attended to.
I'll probably do another update in a couple of years.- 1

Interesting that you got rid of VCam, why was that exactly?
Loving the updates! -

Open to reasonable offers.

Several 18 inch Advans also fit, just goto the manufacturer websites and most tell you if they fit or not.

Looks like a weapon - 3rd gear breaks out
It's in rwd in the video and it's tuned so the boost rolls on progressively as opposed to the cliff face type tunes lol
Only on low boost (650hp) in the vid but still fun and plenty of power -
So haven't updated this in over a year and that's because the car has been running great the whole time Over 6,000kms and 4 track days to date with the alloy brace still working wonders.
But in any case the GTR rabbit hole doesn't end and just gets deeper.
Next (hopefully final) phase of this project is looking like this..- Alpha Omega Single piece driveshaft (Acquired)
- Brand new head (Had this in storage for ages) CNC ported with all new gear, shimless etc
- HKS V-CAM Step Pro (Acquired)
- Upgrade to Haltech Elite 2500 for DBW compatibility
- 6 Throttle ITB DBW
- New turbo, maybe Precision 6875 or 7175/7275??? (Don't know which one to pick yet)
- Bigger catch can/battery in boot etc
- Sequential Gearbox (One day, not sure which one)
Here is some really short clips of my last session at EC in RWD just mucking around..

Yeh cheers that's about as helpful as testicular cancer. Alpha omega say they're waiting on everyone to pay up before proceeding.
So you just answered your own question then ?.
