Hey all.

Once upon a time I used to drift a red R32 with a black bonnet (PIC 1)

After a hard life of drifting and a couple too many learning taps, I took it off the road and decided to re shell it (PIC 3). I alway had the intention to rebirth the old colour scheme and build it better than ever. Due to a many reasons this has been a slow process.

We are now only a few weeks away. Thought id show you some pics of how its progressed.

***Further Update***

The car is finally running but not quite perfect. The work race pace has done in the engine bay and getting the car running is unbelievable. Now for some suspension work and interior stuff at Meridian Motorsport and shes all done.

Here are some pics and vids.

Good work Adam :(

Thats been a very long time coming. Its looking shit hot mate. Slow projects are almost more rewarding in a way.

You taking it to QLD or leaving it here?

Oh... and someone told me yours looked like it had more ricer style than mine...

And silly i am for not believing him haha :)

Defanitly not taking it to QLD. Staying in Melbs!

A little bit of rice is ok, as long as its practical rice. I bet the person who told you that probley has a bit of rice as well. In fact their car is probley white making it look more like rice than mine.

Very nice. Interesting to see how the turbo setup goes on teh Rb26..very, very interested :blush:

LOL..what suspension and brakes? I know its your drift car, but please, please, please track it as well and get one up for the the brotherhood :domokun:

You know its a 25 yeah. Its making 8psi at 2000 and full boost at 3500. Said to be one of the most responsive cars race pace has tuned. Everything seems to be working really well together.

Bris it will DEFINATLY be tracked more than its drifted. Brakes at this stage are GTR DBA sloted rotors and caliper adapters with SBS carbon ceramic pads. I wanted to go bigger but been told that its not nessary at this point. Suspension at this point is Fulcrum bushes all round with cusco arms and Tien HE shocks. Thinking of getting billstein to make me up some shocks at a later point.

Next DECA is the plan as long as there is no probs with driving in Chris's car as well.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
