Like all projects, think of what you want to spend then double it.

But this car is sooooo gonna be worth it, watching it carefully, 4 door 34 love.

Last Saturday up in the local Adelaide hills my clutch decided to shit itself, basically i couldnt move, could start the car in gear and nothing.

After waiting 4hrs for a tow truck i got the car back to my brothers workshop and decided to pull the gearbox out the following day. This is what i found....

After getting the gearbox out i decided i might start on the engine

And this is how it looks now

Cheers Luke

Those fork lifts are very versitile! We used ours as a table on Xmas Eve... Nice work so far mate.

[Luke_ENR34]

Cheers mate.

Next step is to strip the engine bay out, and get the bay ready for painting. After that drop the front subframe, paint it Nismo silver with nismo bushes throughout. And while all that is getting done assemble the 26 and get that ready.

Might try and roadtrip it over to NSW to watch the superlap

I remember those days. It was the same way with me, I was just going to but the Manual transmission in and ran into a problem with the pilot bushing. Said screw it and decided to pull the engine instead.

Cheers mate.

might as well seam weld it too

[Luke_ENR34]

Seam welding has actually crossed my mind and will be taken into account when i find out how much it will cost

[Luke_ENR34]

On the weekend i took my guards off ready for the engine bay to be painted. Getting all the little clips and lines out of the engine bay was a pain but almost finally there woo.

Reo bar off

If u look where the battery usually goes, that rust will be getting cut out and a new piece welded in

Just got the brake booster and clutch cylinder to remove now and that it..... Then onto sanding

[Luke_ENR34]

Had my Exhaust manifolds, dumps and heat shields hpc coated this week and this is how they look

Also have removed everything from the engine bay and sanded it and now its ready for painting

[winstonusmc]

Maybe you have already thought of this, but shouldnt you cut your intercooler piping holes before the engine bay gets painted?

[TriniGT]

Yep and stitch it same time. Was thinking maybe he already had the piping route done up if he ran the pipe over the rad fan.

[Luke_ENR34]

Haven't got any holes cut yet but will try and work them out before painting. Gotta get a mate to come down with his gtr to have a look.

Cheers.

sneak peak hehe

[BIT SUS]

sneak peak hehe

looking good luke! makes me want to seam weld the S13!

[msports180]

Tubbing the front end?

[Luke_ENR34]

Yep tubs, seam welding, fuel cell all to come

[TriniGT]

Thougth you would have stitched it, I have read that doing welds without spacing them 'stiching' does not allow the chassis to flex at all and can cause the weld to tear with time. I could be wrong though.

Read my mind.Yes this is true...

[Luke_ENR34]

Cheers for that guys. I'll make sure I tell my welder that now. Have only done the strut towers and other little bits and pieces.
