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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
