panel is loose and ready to remove. used a air saw to trim it out panel off. started grinding spot welds down at that point and tidying the rusted area in the middle. removed section of panel.

even the GTT isnt far off. i have a pair here that are destined for my better halfs VW. have been thinking about bolting them into my 33 (34 seats are a tad bigger), but they do require a small amount

question, do any of these parts make it onto the car at the moment or are you acquiring everything before tearing in? Lots of box shots but don't see anything fitted? Surely that'd drive you crazy with anticipation...

Don't be complaining about box shots now!

Hoarding things like Smaug is half the fun of a rebuild.

And it's home for a couple of weeks.

Need to build a few jigs for it so I can leave the front/rear suspension out and still have it mobile.

sussed out a HCR32 rear cradle to make the jigs off. the idea is to totally drop front and rear suspension out of it and still have it mobile. over the last two years I needed to reassemble it t move the thing.

this will sort that problem.

Seems all your pics have disappeared.

Dropped in to see what has happened over the last 3 months. Much progress ?

Still hot all the pics on mine ??

Facebook must have reloaded them. I have all of them off line anyway.

I have it at my shop now and fiddle with it when I get time. Not a lot done over the last 6 months. Been buying bits though.

Ah, the man with answers. Looking at your FB pics i see a GTR tank.

Are the GTST tanks all the same steel tanks or do the awd cassis have their own type of tank? I ask as i want to put the plastic GTR tank into my rwd GTSt and some say they dont bolt in? Can you clarify what needs to be done?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
