OKie dokie.

Well i got this car about 7 months ago.

It's an R32 sedan GTS-T Auto.

Stock as a rock from Nisswreck with some crap white paint with scratches and marks all over it.

OK so first thing was to get an exhaust. I went to Exhaust Technology and got Marky Mark to fit me a 3" cat back system with a 5" Jun BL cannon. To my stupid knowledge i didnt want my cannon coming out on an angle. I wanted it coming straight out but now i realise it looks like a barina. So back to marky I go once my engine is fixed to get either my cannon cut and welded back on with mass angle or get flutes. Not to sure.

I got it painted to fix up the problems with the paint work. Wish I didn't now as that money would of paid for the manual conversion and some other goodies.

This is my car 2 days after getting it back from the paint shop.

I have done the full 100,000km service as my odometer doesnt work properly. SO i have no idea how many kms have been done on my now busted engine.

Now i have to replace the engine with either a 24 or 25det. not sure which one yet.

Im planning on getting a full origion Kit, fmic, Section Coilovers, Work VS - Kf's and the list goes on.

I need more money and a new engine.

Cheers for having a look at my car.

If u hate it say so but nicely please lol :rofl:

The way its coming along it might take a little longer then planned. But due to it being a full front cut i got type M brakes with it. YAY.

If anyone wants parts off it let me know.

Joel already has dibbes on the auto trans.

LOL oh there on allright.

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Frigging dangerous those things. No grip. My right foot would be slipping everywhere.

And Ryan you don't love me anymore anyway. I thought we had something.

I hope to see u boys out at Mallala this sat night.

Update on the WIP.

Engine is out with auto trans and tailshaft.

Found out the inside of the front of my chasis is rusting a bit. not cricket. might need to hit it with an angle grinder and just run it over the area and fish oil it up to prevent the spreading.

The busted engine with all my good bits i bought for ti a month before it died off.

And the new engine.

Its slowly coming together.

I need more of the parts off my old engine to start getting out of my hair. I need it all gone as Dad doesnt want the engine out the back collecting dust and making his backyard a dump.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
