I plan for it to be an all round car, street, drift, drags, track, and shows.

I've had the car only 12 months, mite take a couple of years but thats the intension to build an all rounder.

I have coil overs and wheels comming next month.

The car is currently sitting in the workshop , im completing the next series of modifications.

Bit of a decent update,

Im going to include alot more pics this time just to give you guys an idea on how much work goes into getting things perfect. So much work goes into aftermarket products to make them fit like oem products.

Heres a few pics of my cf boot, the carbon has been laid perfect but the underside moulding was terribly out of shape cause the boot to fit okay but nowhere near the standard I want to achieve for this car. So i had to cut and remove the shape out of the boot and remould it to fit perfect, this took hours and hours of work to get right. What I ended up with is a perfect fitting cf boot which is really hard to get.

Reshaping of the boot, this was only the first stage I didnt get pics of the next stage.

Just a tip i found with taking pics of my car in sunlight; as your car also seems to have a pearl.

With my camera i have to press the button half way to focus, then continue pressing it to take the photo. If yours is the same, try to focus on something lighter (whiter) that is roughly the same distance from your car, then turn the lens to your car to take the photo. I found that the pearl "fools" the camera and the pic ends up over exposed.

Just to show you an example, i've added two pics of photos of my car.

This first i focused on my car, you can see the shot is totally over exposed. Have a look at the white 33 in the left corner, and the sandy gravel.

This second pic i focused on the white car, and i prefer to see my paint colour in this type of shade.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
