I have never heard of this, thanks mate! Really appreciate it. You posted this just in time as I am looking for something like this to bring front and rears aluminium knuckles up like new and this looks like the go!! Ahhh hindsight...it's a motherf**ker! Got this today and had to share, getting excited now...it's just a sneak peak, more to come soon Ignore the oil/air sep tank, just dummying it up -
More paint prep Upon inspection, uni joints are stuffed on both ends. Anyone replaced these or had a driveshaft shop do it? Or bought a complete new unit from Nissan?! Ready to go Had originally only acid washed these but thought may as well give them a hit in clear as well New recovery vehicle...just in case

Thanks mate. Haha was actually thinking about that the other day....you never know, will wait until this one is done and see how I feel Yeah you really have to want it BAD (and have a VERY patient girl) to put as much time and effort in as I have, did 30 hours flat out in the shed on the long weekend alone. Owing this car is something I have dreamed about for years and being a perfectionist is debilitating at times! 444cc injectors because I want to get to know the car in a form that is similar to standard. I am really not doing all this work to achieve pure power, I want a GT-R that is as reliable as possible with sensible power and is an absolute pleasure to drive and as economical as possible. Everything costs a lot with these cars and you have to draw the line sometimes, saying that I do have a brand new set of Nismo 600cc injectors in the cupboard just incase haha I've got a plan...time will tell Cheers Michael. Yeah it's a real problem sometimes as I just can't do something unless it's 100% perfect, hopefully it does result in a bnr32 that does them justice Have not yet done the repack an new boots yet, everything is getting cleaned down and painted at the moment. Yes, genuine nissan boot kits but and they come with everything inc grease. Not sure what tool you mean sorry...? Per above man, just want to enjoy it for a while, one day I might go down that path but not yet, it's just more money and time I don't have and just want it finished so I can drive it! Thanks man, you know it, the one and only, 32R will always reign supreme!
-
Haha you know I didn't even think of that! Might have to do up a custom mount or something... I'll make it work, have to now!! Also, anyone know if a R33 series 2 air con fan is interchangeable with a bnr32?
-
Sure does mate, hopefully should keep it looking fresh for years to come! Ha yeah man, should last me a lifetime....well a long time anyway! Just learn as you go, have the right people around and the old boy being a mechanic (by trade) helps quite a bit...couldn't have done it without him Couple items arrived today...good day

Thanks mate Got some time on weekend to get back to the front end, dust covers were 2 min job to get off (with the right tools of course) Pressed out the wheel bearings Getting ready for more cleaning, not sure what to do with the aluminium hubs...anyone had them sandblasted before? Will get prices on new wheel bearings as well......when in Rome..... More cleaning After, still plenty to do with the rack (acid wash, paint, new boots) Will throw new tie rod ends as well, not sure on which ones yet....any experience/advice on Jap made aftermarket units or OEM Nissan the go....? Not what you want Shafts ready for clean down, repacking and new boots

Cheers mate, really just after that piece that is all bunched up in photo Thanks Chris. Ah ok, thought that might be the case, PM sent re door cards Great to hear Ruben. Sounds like you're well on your way...when is you're build thread coming?! Or are you just getting suspension components sorted for now? And where in the world are located? Hope so mate, two GT-R's round there will be better than one! I've got just over 4 months until my deadline so things will really ramp up over the next few months... Got the second door stripped and ready for paint prep New storage space Gave shaft a rub back/fresh rubber grease and prep for paint

Fk mate that is horrific, more so the frustration as they aren't all big $$ parts, mainly power fc and Nismo clutch I'll keep an eye and ear out up in here Bris... I'd watch Gumtree for the power fc and clutch as they biggest $ items and start a thread in the Qld section My stomach feels fkd just reading this, let me know if I can be of further help Best of luck Anthony

Pulled out all the plastic bumpers and body kit to start the strip down, cleaning and paint prep process...not fun Noticed the factory plastic skirts were warped and decided to remove the metal inserts and leave them out for good Ready for first wash down Original rear rio bar pictured above had seen better days and will using this spare on instead as it's like brand new Stripping first door
-
Absolutely Hugo, plan to have her for a lifetime mate! Sourced from Gary Cook aka Sydneykid here on SAU Damien. His email is [email protected] What Michael (Miguelone) said. Picked these up cheap and near new so easy way to get fresher and firmer bushes that aren't 20 years old. They do look to have a few extra gussets as well and neater welds. And come in silver which will look purty... No idea sorry mate, best to shoot Gary an email djr81 - appreciate the input re suspension tops mate, will shoot you a PM, definitely looks like the go Have had some big weekends of late and making some decent progress... Front sub frame bare and ready for paint prep
