Thanks Guys

Appreciate the comments especially as this has been a mission....lot harder than I expected.

Not sure on the wheels as they came on the car.

The seats are out of a 2003 WRX crash test car so were virtually perfect unless the dummy crapped himself.

Rears were trimmed to match

Car is fitted with Konis and Nolethane bushes all round and drives like a new car

Underneath has been fully proofcoated after minor rust plating.

The examiner remarked it was immaculate underneath and called a few of the other inspectors over for a look :P

So, That's stage 1 complete so I need to decide what to do next.

I just want a nice streeter to use in classic rallies etc

That is Sweeeeeeet Chris. It's so good to see cars of this era restored to the likes of yours. Hopefully we'll meet up one day at some vehicle convention here in the West. Maybe Motorvation or Powercruise or even better a Datsun/Nissan event. Gee let's start planning that!

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
