Yes but this is a full on resto. Very little expensive spared on it over the past few years. Still a lot of small things to buy.

I have 15-20k in parts alone sitting on a shelf in boxes. All new.

Show us yours.

Ordered some more interior trim today. This is another 4 figure sum in NOS parts.

Nissan still make the interior panels on demand. Good for now so I am getting a set before They go NLA.

Which bits?

Door and rear panels. I have a decent secondhand set here as well. $2.3k for all 4 items. Door panels are fully dressed and ready to fit.

Small hardware is SUPPOSED to be with them. Unsure at this point. Going to replace the hinges as well. Yet to check those.

Once these land I am going to do more internal trim. I have most of this already but need a few more bits still.

One thing I still need to check is the boot seal and its availability .

Build looks amazing, can't wait to see this finished.

I haven't read every page so I'm sorry if its already been asked, but what are your plans for the car once finished? Are you doing a basic full resto or are you adding performance bits along the way?

It is for my daughter, car is a resto with some changes. Engine will get a freshen up and a flex fuel conversion . Car will be plenty quick in stock form.

trim stuff arrived a few days back. ordered a new set of front indicators for it locally on friday. should be here in a few days.

spoke to CDR paint and panel (local club sponsor) about reassembling the body. roughly $11k to do it. I 'm not holding them to it as there is a fair bit to do that they did not see from the images. waiting on a few things to fall in place at the shop before I commit to that amount of money.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
