have all the intercooler stuff mocked up. ordered new rubber grommets and the crows foot that holds the return pipe and cooler in place on the bottom. waiting on the invoice for those.

question for those with 'northern' cars - can you pull the mirror control out and get a part number off it please. I have found a set of northern mirrors and need that switch. these are heated units and with out the switch the heaters do not work. I already have the harnesses.

fully stripped 32 GTR subframe - filthy from years of dirt and leaking axles.

thanks to whizzn for this.

lines - all intact and DEFINITELY reusable - if I had to buy them new there are $1200 worth of lines there.

of all that I cannot buy the power steering pump line..

these get cleaned up and reused with new retaining clips (which I already have.)

steering rack. this came with the GTR subframe. going to get a quote to rebuild it back to original. not a lot wrong with it at first glance.

I will find out once i get a chance to run it over to driveline services in brendale how bad it is.

my original needs boots and I dare say rack ends. easier to fix this one.

gurney time. that was taken at the virginia car wash the fellow that managed the place kept watching what I was doing.

when I told him what it was out of he gave me a blank look and walked off..

half clean

heat shields - nice and shiny. my original is missing the smaller one.

All cleaned up. that took 6 abrasive sponges and a 1 lt tin on thinners to get it to that point. I still have to clean the lines and the mounting tags up.

it will be a pity to sit an engine on top of this.

this one has a MINOR bend on the front line support- I can fix that with two big wrenches.

once I get the lines cleaned up I will reassemble the whole lot and set it aside for when the body comes back.

I want to do the same with the rear subframe as well. that will be a fairly big exercise though.

bought a GTR bonnet , bonnet latch/support and a grill off ebay - now this is starting to look like something.

panel shop cost is a doozy though :P

hope the girl that gets this car appreciates it. (this is for my daughter for those that didnt read earlier)

going to drop off the radar after this for obvious reasons - locals can track me down if you want to look at it.

I may do text updates but no images unless I can do them in such a way that is doesn't show where the car is kept.

those in SEQ probably realise why I am doing this now instead of later. this thing will owe me a 5 figure sum and I wish it to remain int he condition I built it and not burnt or stripped.

Dang it, will have to email you to get updates Chris.

I finally managed to get some time off work Mon just gone and send you that fuel bracket support, cut it a lot larger than what you probly need but it should help you out hopefully

thats sort of the reason I am doing this. you guys are watching this as are 3-400 others. I do not know those people and any one of them could take a liking to the car :)

as I said I will put up text updates but thats probably it at this point.

100% Understand where you are coming from, open forum and all.

ordered new door mouldings last night for it. (the ones that sit on top of the door and butt up to the glass.)

Part Numbers:

80821-04U03

80820-04U03

I had to order a set for a customer so I ordered two sets.

found a source for the destroyed oval rubber boots that are in the doors. N14 pulsar has the same boots and given the number of these things in wrecking yards they are fairly easy to get.

the part is no longer available new. (considering that nissan went to body plugs in 95 or so I know why.)

Well that's a bummer, I was enjoying this build up :( You're an anal bastard like myself :P

Completely understand where you're coming from though, my biggest worry with my S14 build up is security. I have an unopened garage, and I'm shit scared of someone finding out where I live and knocking off something.

Keep up the good work, mate. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Found a BETTER source for the body to door harness boots that the door harnesses have on them

the originals are:

24256-41L10. (35mmx50mm oval boot) - fits into the door

24256-41L01 (50mm round boot ) - fits into body cavity

374218_3026602267309_1330376598_33294150_1767116373_n.jpg

these are for a 2 door obviously (no idea on a 4 door)

405680_3026602547316_1330376598_33294151_1204152110_n.jpg

where to find BOTH of them cheaply:

late 90s J30 Nissan Maxima. they are on the door harness and usually in good nick. I have 4 sets as I want two spares. wrecker gave them to me at no charge :)

just bought this:

000.900_LCD4CHL_PI.jpg

that will fit nicely into the GTR cluster that I have ( the tach is coming out.)

this in conjunction with a garmin GVN53 and HKS CAMP2 should bring this car into the 21st century quite nicely

already spoke to a speedo cluster repairer as well about making me an overlay with a clear area for it so it all looks factory.

only oversight I had was the amount that a sheet of the material makes - 5 overlays. so once done I will have 4 of them up for grabs in the factory grey instrument color.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
