this is my dream 32 4 door. except it would have to have a stock GTR kit all over it. even the stock rims finish it off nicely.

if i got around to it id make the rear wide body spec like the GTR thoe. not easy when you have a door to include.

Stock kit going on next month :P and the rear is rolled as far as you can take a 4 door. If you saw how much addon rear guards were for 4 doors, you'd probably choke ;). Although you can get them :(.

Meisters weren't mine and long gone :).

Vivagarge has the rear wide quarters for a 4 door

$480 for both sides

its 4 pieces one on quarter and one on door on each side

they arre 25mm wider

i had seen a set once on yahoo actions but that was it. but 25mm is hardly enough to notice.

i think the best would be to buy the gts to GTR rear guards off car mate. they only go on the lower half of the body work just like the GTR and mate that suit a 4 door.

anyway good luck with it.

While I wait for the GTR bar to go on with Grill (woot finally) I thought I might post an update about the car. Recently got the car tuned down at Status in Victoria and it went from 200rwkw to 245rwkw. Apparently one of the, if not the, highest power out of a 'stock' 26 at 14psi Status has seen :P.

I have cam gears sitting on the passenger seat but was recommended that they are largely a waste of time. And it's getting a lot more road time now :). Also forgot to mention I have since put a Nismo super coppermix twin plate in, awesome clutch.

No pics of the interior atm because it's sort of unfinished. And the engine bay isn't particularly exciting because i've gone out of my way to make it stock looking (well except that the covers are all painted blue :blink:). Will try and get something though.

Last weekend at the top of buller sub 3 degree weather fresh after a detail.

Thought I might give an update.

Car has been good, just fixed up a few annoyances like the power steering setup and mounted the gauges. I've put some brembos on and 33R rims to clear them.

Also transferred a few goodies over to the daily as things get updated :).

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
