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 GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • 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
