I love it! It's different and I've never seen it done on a car before this thread. Well done for being individual. I love the pic where she's in her hooded eskimo jacket with gloves on and the space heater keepin her warm, must have been a cold night in Misawa.

Can't wait to see th efinished product, keep it up! Oh and definitely do the wheels :laugh:

Just out of curiosity... How is she intending to do the roof? :nyaanyaa:

*In mind all I can think of is like those lan parties where you duct tape her to the ceiling and then slowly drive the car underneath*

Seriously awesome work though =D

like this you mean?

also nice work OP :(

haha that pic is so good how long does it take for the tape to let go

If duct tape is wrapped around something like a pole or support beam then it won't let go, provided there are enough strips of it to support the weight...it's only when you tape someone to a wall that it'll let go after some time.

Wow, omg I love this! It's amazing. Does she go over it once it's done in a clear coat or something, what about prep?

Gonna get the bf to give me one of his spare fenders to give this a try on, looks fun as!

that is pretty cool. don't like the lost birds bit though. the rest of it is good.

i'm assuming it is only done in nikko/permanent marker and not a paint pen?

I asked some Japanese guys if "Rosto Birdseh Racing" sounded like a good race car name and they approved. Haha. Oh well. Rosto Birdseh no GTR wa ichibanda!!!! See that sounds pretty good if you can imagine it coming through the intercom at the racetrack.

we parked the car inside so we could worry about finishing it, and the clear will go on afterwards. there were a few parts that were already cleared, but I might give them another go just for fun.

well here's today's update. Finished from the pillar all the way to the tail light above the first body line, and also removed the door so it could be inside with the heat while it's worked on.

That is one unique GT-R!

You going to do the interior as well or would it be too distracting while you're driving on racetrack?

Also how about doing the rocker covers in either silver or gold on top of black cover?

Cheers

haha, I'll be honest, I was like... what the hell is a rocker cover?? I had to look up the difference in terminology. valve covers.. ahhhh now I get it! I even wrote aluminium for you guys. :-) As far as under the hood, I don't know if I'll really draw the theme in, because it just gets so dirty in there. I'll clean it every so often, but I could only consider detailing the engine bay if I was building a trailer queen or something.

You're American?

Cos your terminology isn't what us Australians say.

Fair enough on not doing the 'rocker covers' / 'valve covers'

Cheers

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
