Just Jap Racing Gives An R35 Gtr The Chop - Literally


Recommended Posts

can I ask why not keep the chassis intact incase someone puts the pink car into the trees?

because you cannot import complete cars for use as spare parts. why do you think people sell half cuts or front cuts? if you could just bring in a whole car and sell it for parts that's what people would do. of course.

I wanna strip one to see how they're built! They got some pretty wicked sh1t goin on, plastic front strut towers/firewall etc..... I'll be super-keen to know if the chassis is repairable if crashed or if it needs a re-shell.

if you all look closely, the front window has been damaged and the a pillar is bent.

so seems like a write off.

but if it was a complete vehicle and they decided to cut it up for parts.. omg.. such a waste.

The car is being bought in for spare parts for the Donut King Race Team, in case you missed it in the first post

really? to quote the person (pete) who BOUGHT it. (his my best mate, since forevers dad) on our way to sydney last saturday (to just jap) "oi did i tell u i bought another R35, its a right off though, so will be good for spares for MY car"

my info is from the OWNER of the right off. so gus was correct, in case u didnt no

picture off mine phone, good looking driveway aye :P the right off is for spares for the white one (which is now pink) comfy ride home with its interior all over me from sydney other day haha

Apparently Mizuno san wants to keep things restricted so engines and transmissions have to be ordered through nissan delearships to help thwart the grey imports....

I'm VERY VERY curious on how much it was purchased for... as a damaged vechile.

I'm sure it was a good deal.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
