Almost there, just have to fit sideskirts on Monday, then fit the wheels to give it the stance.

Colour is a bit trippy depending on daylight and night lights in the workshop...

Will post pics once it rolls out to the street

Have you flared your rear guards yet? You cannot say it's a widebody until the rear and fronts are proportionally flared...also, to give it the fat look, you have to get a GTR spec bonnet and GTR spec front bar...all this adds to the new fat look.

Your colour is unique mate...I call it the Caramel colour! lol Nice!! I wish you chose the GOLD look ....actually looks nicer in my opinion!

quick question for those checking this, mines a GTS-4 so its awd setup...now the front hubs that i got from a gtst dnt suite and wont bolt up for my 5 stud conversion

anyone have any ideas how to fix this, im lookin in ur direction kevin :blink:

Hey mate...I gotta give up here mate...cannot help you there...suggest you post a new thread in the suspension or drivetrain section.

With my GTS4 it came with 5 stud wheel conversion already done - I just turboed it and that was it. Not to demotivate you, be honest mate, after all that hard work...looking back, I think it was cheaper to just go and buy a GTR.

However, if you can build a GTS4-T into a monster then it just adds to the fun! :(

As you know I now have two cars, a GTR and a GTS4-T - I gotta say, I do have a soft spot for my GTS4-T as it was with it that I had spent so much time and money.

Go for it buddy!

Nuh after this build I'll be heading towards and Audi S3...this is just my toy project to get it out of my system as I always wanted to build a car.

As for 5 stud conversion already worked it out I just need a set of HNR32 or BNR32/33/34 knuckles front hubs and Im all good from there.

Dnt worry I realised I could buy either a Nur or N1 engine from Just Jap and have dropped the engine in with the amount I've spent so far...but I did bodywork...so eh its already been done. As I said I'd have always bought a GTR but I wudnt have been able to drive in for 3 years cause I'm on my P's still til next August...

Here's some of the new photos

As for focusing on the flares, what sort of shots do you want?

This is the rear guard from PSI Parts

Hi Daniel - haven't been on here for a while...great to see your car has been finished and is now on the road...looks good buddy...

The colour is (as I had predicted) - changing a bit, getting darker which is tough as it was too yellowy at the start for my liking - looks really good mate.

Love everything about it - except for the front bar - I suggest you get a Do-Luck front bar and it would complete the look nicely.

Looking good mate - so what's next?

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
