So had a quiet day at work today and luckily the boss went home early morning. So i ended up finishing spraying the cage in the 'Plumb Purple' looks pretty schmick. I also touched up the floor with some matte black including the harnes eyelets. Then bolted the GTR seats into place. Then ran the harness as required on both sides. Adjusted mine up took a few goes and just need the mrs to sit on her side to adjust hers. They feel good and weird at the same time as ive never had proper racing harnesses in a car ive driven before. Also got the bonnet pins mounted and secured properly in the radiator support. Just need some rubber spaces to remove the free play in the pin itself. So heres a few picks. Now just saving for front rear screens and sunroof insert. Then shes ready for racing

what car or engine does this suit?

Cant wait to see all the complaints once the defects are handed out. You thought that the top gear turn out of 24 cop cars was bad, expect more when they hear off all the high performance imports having a big meet. My baby will be safe at home.

I better start saving then 32 Debut at wakefield me thinks Got the bracket welded btw cheers mate

Might as well chuck me on the ressie list. Cheers.

what type of licence is required for this? As in CAMS or just club racing license? Also are unregistered track cars aloud to enter?

Im getting excited and im only voluteering for this one lol. I just love skids

Yah sweet, just did mine purple lol, only half cage, but rest of interior will be flat black along with parcel tray. Will look good. Black cage white floor for that Panda look

So few things over the last few days. Swapped my RECARO buckets for a set of genuine GTR seats. They fit in alot better, sit me lower in the car and have a bit more room all round. Also brought the undercoat and rubbed back the rust on the cage. And have today sprayed 3 coats of undercoat ready to sand back. Also sanded the boot where the spare went as some small bits of rust were starting. Also undercoated that. Heres some picks am still thinking purple cage just will mean alot of masking. Then just redoo the black on the interior to make it newer. Also got some bonnet latches and a new 02 sensor in. Seats: Boot before: Boot after: Cage undercoat: Latches and 02:

Ah i see you havent painted the cage yet, just undercoated my half cage today. Might be an idea while wiring is out pull dash pad out give her a few coats would be painfull to cover all the wiring before spraying lol.

Yes i have it here i shall put it in my car now i also have the number "14" windscreen number that u guys had at the last texi i did, i forgot to give it back So thats in the car to lol.

Not long now, unfortunately looks like my 32 wont be ready as funds have dried up for a little. But will be comming down once again to help out with timing, sign up and pointing and laughing at crazy driving But definately will be driving in the next one

SOLD!!! Wow that was quick guy came and picked em up this arvo. Sorry fellas

Hey guys chasing a mild steel or stainless dump or cat back system. Preferably 3 inch with a few mufflers to keep the noise down. To suit 32 GtSt Please pm here. Sydney area prefered. cheers.

Luke im going back to a standard GTR seat due to having got the weld in cage and the seats sit a little higher overall then a stock seat. Once i put a helmet on i hit the roof So GTR seat is a tad lower. It was ok in my daily still had headroom. And I believe these are genuine recaros never been re trimmed or anything. but i cant say as i brought them second hand to start with off a mate.

TBH bookie i dont want to know, but with most of the things second hand, ie bonnet, cooler set up, seats, motor. its looking ok, Cage and exhaust plus mounts were half of that $4000 about $1000 on engine build and $1000 on misc so shes pretty close. might be about 5 once windows and front bar is sprayed but im doing it myself just a nice pressure pack matte black

Now Now children hahaha. At least its bumping the thread up

Hi guys I have for sale these RECARO bucket seats out of my skyline. They are near new condition. Small mark on drivers seat (see photo) other then that pretty much new. Only other drama is drivers recliner broke. I have made a bracket to hold seat in a nice seating possition. I drove my daily with no dramas but for proper fix will need new recliner assembly. Comes with home made Brackets to suit 32/33 skyline. May also fit S13 i think. Asking $550 ono, or will swap for 32 gtr seats. Condition doesnt have to be perfect as its for my track car. Please PM or phone 0439588620, please no private numbers. I check forums daily but that would be easier. Pick up Blacktown area, seats are at my workshop. Cheers Luke.

Thanks mate will look better with a coat of paint

So got the car back this arvo. Really happy with the work. Exhaust is still very loud actually dont think she will be acceptable for TEXI. Only for wakefield and the creek. Bonnet looks good needs a little allignment and the pins put in which i ordered from Just jap. The only thing is that they forgot to weld in and put harness eyelets in for the passenger I didnt pay for them but i thought i had and so now i have to go pick up another plate and weld it to the trans tunnel myself. Other then that set back the rest is good. Heres a few picks of bonnet before allignment and pins.

So got some more picks sent to me from brad today, exhaust is done, straight 3 inch 316 stainless dump back. Side exit. No cat or mufflers. He had some off cuts from a v8 supercar he did so did me this instead of mild steel Apparently not to loud which is great. looks boss cant wait to hear it. Car is getting picked up tomorrow around lunch so should have it back in my shop by end of day enjoy the picks. main part of pipe work lovely side pipe exit some sexy welds

nice man, love the detail in the cage and all the extra painted bits, all the extra time pays off. One day my 32 will get the extra love

Just got a nice msg from brad, imagine my excitement

Update: will have the 32 back by friday caged and exhaust + harnesses done getting close

Cheers mate, yah i dont know either, its running the 25 box i think i put the 25 starter motor in it. Its not to hard to replace just annoying now ive split tubed it all lol and the cage will now be in. Will definately look into that better cable. Rang brad today from pro fab, cage is being welded into final possition today and hes expecting exhaust to be completed today or tomorrow. So fingers crossed ill have her back late tomorrow or friday. Still thinking of a dark purple for the cage, will just mean alot of masking and newspaper
