MMMMMMMM, so much fun, pics tomorrow. Having issues with my USBs at the moment. Didn't take Glenn long to spot me! Had only just driven back from the Gold Coast at that time. I have to say at the moment I am VERY happy, it is soooo clean.

Cheers, I fitted the BBS wheels last night, plus all the other little bits and peices. Also fitted the slotted rotors today, they look the business behind the wheels, thanks goes to "Dominic" for the rotors and the "vspecv" for the rims, they look great. SAU is full of bargains! I went to fit all the suspension bits today aswell but hit a snag. Went to pull the rear upper arm off the put the adj. cusco one on and it was so tight I broke the socket, so promptly gave up! Might have to get someone to fit it all.

I KNEW IT!!!

told you that you would be doing that after you got home from my place :P you JUST couldn't wait....

sigh... too bad about my dinner appt else i would taken up yr invitation too.

I find it amazing that your GTR went into the same complience place as mine (but 3 weeks later) and you are driving your already......my black GTS-t has been down there for almost 6 weeks now and i am less than impressed with the workshop.

I look forward to finally taking my baby away from those "people" and getting it on the road.

but hey, congrats on the GTR they sure are a bit of fun!

Not sure I qualify as someone who "knows" how to drive a GTR yet, confidence is definately not there yet. Its a totally different car to drive than the GTST, it feels bigger, heavier, initial turn in is not as good, the seating position is a little different. It not heaps quicker than the GTST but feels torquier and can definately stretch its legs better on the highway! Even though it has a stock exhaust, the engine noise is completely different than the RB25. Basically totally different, can't wait to test it out properly at the track!

Sorry to hear that Haro, its sooo frustrating waiting for the car to turn up, took about 5 weeks for mine to go through. It all worth it though. Can't wait to get a look at that carbon wing blade!!

Still can't get any pics up, really hate computers sometimes, looks like I may have had a USB failure so my pics a trapped on my camera at the moment.

Finally I have some pics! This is how I picked the car up, have yet to wash it. I have just fitted the different rims and tyres, clear lenses, slotted rotors, seat covers, and a few nismo "rice" things.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
