  1. LOL thanks wolf. Yah im a mechanic aswell (if you couldnt tell by the shop lol) having to make time for this cause i want to drive it already. If you can weld you may come in handy for exhaust ect. Theres not alot i will need a hand with due to being a straight forward engine/gearbox combo nothing i havent delt with before but if you are bored your more then welcome to come have a look and pitch in. The HICAS will be coming out saturday hopefully and possibly pulling diff center out ready for locking Been trolling the forums and hounding SSS about an engine/gearbox package and am also gonna try Just Jap
  2. Yes Risking definately makes me happier seeing it clean. I can thank you for the nice straight shell also will be definately seeing you for the cage once she is up and going Oh and gerry the standard RB20 box for now as not running big power so no need for anything silly, and an exedy Heavy duty clutch.
  3. Hey guys and girls decided to start a thread about the new project i have taken on. Brought this car a few weeks ago as a rolling shell. Has complete rear end (stock 32 gtst) with tailshaft included. The main things besides cosmetics it needs are an engine (RB20DET), gearbox, complete loom and brakes all around. Most work im doing at my bosses workshop and am hoping to complete the project on a budget of around $3500-$4000 excluding the $400 i paid for the car. So far i have stripped interior carpets and cleaned floor area up. Car had been sitting in the elements for a while and resembled a swamp due to sunroof being wide open and no rear window. Included are some before and after shots of the interior during clean up. Will keep posted on major events. As i said so far, AC has been removed, Interior cleaned and stripped (note sound dedening stuck to floor is staying due to only being a drifter and track pig not a 10 second drag car, weight not a big deal). Next will be HICAS system out and engine bay cleaned ready for motor. Future plans are: - RB20DET (stock for now) - Side piped exhaust for open track days and full system for texi - Plexi quarter windows - Recaro front seats (which i already have ) - Shimmed diff - Coil overs - Alloy radiator - Surge tank in boot - Operational sunroof - Weld in cage (down the track) And thats bout it should be driveable. Enjoy the pics and will post more as I go along. Off the tow truck Drivers floor B4 Drivers Floor After Rear B4 Rear After Looking back at the dash ready for seats

  11. I installed some pedders coil over super x i think they are about 6 months ago. For around $1600 (i installed myself retail $2400 installed) These coil overs offer 30 clicks of damper adjustment and plenty of room to adjust height. At the maximum soft setting the car almost feels like standard suspension but with minimal body roll. I drive mine all day everyday on halfway so 15 clicks. This offers a nice firm ride but not back breaking. I also went all out and fitted the front adjustable camber bushes and new radius rod bushes in the front end. Improvement was amazing. All these items were pedders so the match and balance between components is 100%. They also took care of my wheel alignment and they also offer a free setup of the ride height with purchase of the coil overs. Finally they are fully serviceable like the teins and parts are easily available from any of their stores. A good entry level coil over for a good price. Hope this helps. Heres a vid of the product
  12. Your still running hicas? A lock bar will fix that problem then just get wheel alignment. Then u can just take the bulb out of the hicas light or mount ur boost guahe on the steering column like on my r33. Problem solved an more predictable handling while sliding and cornering fast
  13. Ah we will have myself and my partner, better put a double order for her she loves loves loves chocolate lol
  14. Hang on hang on. Im sure i pointed eric out to security as the guy cooking the BBQ in a cowboy hat LMAO! But yah lunch was delish, hope you had a good feed at the steakhouse to.
