[Chris Rogers]

S2 GTR Seatbelts, GTR interior panels , rear shelf and Airbox sorted. pick up on the weekend.

[Chris Rogers]

new side glass- both sides - bought from a SAU member that brought both in a few years ago.

part numbers

these things are $600 a pop new.

[ls128]

How much was that new lip??

[Miguelone]

They're about $300

[Chris Rogers]

lip was NOS from a local dealer still over $400 though.

glass out of japan my be that but I cannot get glass out of japan. they will not ship it. if they did the $1200 sunroof glass would have been $600 landed.

local quote was $590 a side.

Series 2 R32 belts:

Considering I had kiippan items (green inport plate) installed and those were in my opinion terribly installed getting these will sort that out and give me the swing arm belt on the drivers side.

I also have GTR door panels, rear side panels,rear seat. I also grabbed aa series 2 rear body harness ( these are DIFFERENT from the 1989-1992 versions) to match the S2 front harness I have and all of the computer gear to match it.

still have to get more trim related stuff and from there I will get the GTST seats retrimmed to look like GTR items and maybe a bit more padding as the lower pads are shot from things sitting on them.

lately my daughter has realized every part I am bringing home is for her car.. She asks this every time she sees me with something car related in my hand.

[whizzn]

I have spare set of GTR seats if you want them mate

[Chris Rogers]

ta but I am keeping the GTST seats. they are easier to retrim and a bit easier on the back.

[Chris Rogers]

had this for a couple of years now. never took a shot of it. last in existence. the part is actually a supersession of the original.

for those that don't know its a NEW sunroof glass. all $1200 worth...

my Japanese supplier was afraid to ship it to me out of Okinawa for fear of damage. So it sat there for 6 months before I got nissan Oz involved and brought it over. checked Japan after I bought it home and it was NLA. so that one piece that was sitting in Okinawa was mine..

[boiracer]

Nice, I saw this on bookface and couldn't figure out what it was either.

hows the Shoppe going Chris?

[Chris Rogers]

Yep that had a few people stumped.

Shop going ok. Concentrating more on import and supply than retail.

Plenty more bits on the way for this car. My daughter wants it finished so she can sit in it.

We are both Going to spend Sunday mucking around with it.

Next up are side trim work and the rear window trim.

[boiracer]

good to hear she likes cars already.

On the import and supply side of things, hows that DIN pocket for my dash coming along?

[TTT]

Since Chris said no already, could I ask how much you are after?

[Chris Rogers]

good to hear she likes cars already.

On the import and supply side of things, hows that DIN pocket for my dash coming along?

yep shes asking weekly when its going to be ready. figure by end of year I should have enough stuff put aside and money aside to start the body part of it.

pocket is here. I am not though.
