Ok... not a hell of a lot has changed since the last post apart from the fact that i finally got the drivers seat in and have fit the gtr indicators and repaired the left guard.

its lookin good but still a long way off... ive decided that i just dont have the time anymore to prep it for paint so im going to either get con to finish it off (fit the bar properly, weld the boot holes up and paint strip the right guard etc) and paint the damn thing.

the cost to paint and finish it off from con from palm is 1800 which is a little expensive but it will be at least done to a HIGH standard... ive seen the work that goes on down there and these guys are good as im sure whistla and arsn will be able to tell u (altho i still see arsns down there so he wont know how good a job they do til its done i spose :))

anyway heres a few pics...

things to be done still to the exterior...

-mesh up the front bar.

-fit and paint the GTR skirts

-get the carbon bonnet

-get the nismo rear lip

-powdercoat and fit the wheels

once thats all done i will start on the engine and finish off the interior (including registering it as a 2 seater and fitting a half rollcage.) ... looks like this project is going to take longer than i thought :) should look the goods once its done.

eric - nah i decided not to go for the 89 GTR and instead keep this and do it up til its just right and keep it. I had most the parts sitting around for nearly a year so i havent spent any cash on it recently apart from the seats.

dave - ;) there will be a "little" rice but nothing too out there... was nice to drive it today... its the first time in about a month ive been able to drive her... oh how i miss snapping into second and third and feeling the arse end step out to the side when it breaks traction....

hehe was speakin to troy about them UAS ones... apparently theyre not really much better than a real GTR bonnet. The one's UAS sells are fibreglass with a carbonfibre layer glued on top.

At about $4 per sq meter for fibreglass, and $80 per sq mtr for a layer of carbon fibre, it should theoretically cost aroun $500 for one, not $1000.

hehe that's what I thought as well... to make a full carbon bonnet you need about 8 layers of carbon fibre to make it about thick enough or something. At about $80 per sq mtr, you'd need about 4 sqmeter to make one full layer (not including extra on the edges) thats $80*4*8 = $2560 + labour (making pure carbon fibre bonnets ain't easy) = around $3000 for a proper one.

yer, tell me something i don't know. Decent or "real" carbon fibrebonets are at least $2k. Most of them are just for show and fibreglass/carbon fibre hybrids..

Hmmm, that $1800 is scaring me nark! maybe i should try the place Horus recommended..

hahaha :bahaha:

looking very 733t there narkus. so with the new bonnet is it gonna lip over all the way like the standard one, or u gonna fit the split grille thingy??

sounds like it's coming together nicely, i'd be interested to see whether losing a couple of seats makes it noticably faster/responsive/handle better, or also the increased rigidness with the rollcage, or still wouldn't make a diff?

cheers.

some pics with the wheels on...

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
