certainly did - NEW ones. 4 figure sum for both but yes I can certainly buy them.

need to pin you down at some point to discuss this car of yours and the parts needed for it.

chris, i love you and this thread <3

plenty of stuff available for the car. it just takes time (and lately a lot of money :( ) keep watching. once I get a bit of money ahead I am going to do the interior.

had a bit of spare time today so I started on the Nismo 32 dash (v2)

V1 that I paid money for

that is a 3mm piece of acrylic cut into the stock hole. keep watching.

quick hit with a dremel to get the basic shape. the hole was marked with the steel overlay that was on the LCD panel I am using. there is a small amount of error there so its not visible in the final version.

now with qbond holding it in place. it doesn't move. I actually broke it in the top corner (speedo side) so there is qbond on that at well.

just add bog. this is actually a finishing bog so its fine and quite easy to sand off.

first sand - this is hit with 400 wet/dry. light is horrible but it doesnt look that bad.

Once this is highfilled , 45 deg chamfer on the gauge holes ( they are stepped at the moment.)and painted black it will look like it belongs there. I called it a day at that point. will do some more on it when I get more time.

nah. all of it is external to the cluster. I am considering mimicing the odo reset button as a mode switch for the navi input. currently its on one of the radio buttons on top of the dash. there is a custom module for that.

hope to have this on a skewer in a few weeks so I can do a few more things to it and get it ready for panel work. lack of a proper shed for the last few months has hindered progress.

still working on it though. nismo 32 cluster is done.

yep it should. will be spending a bit more time in gympie now working on it. july should see more images of it being torn down and packed into boxes again.

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 4 weeks later...

harnesses - one sorted. still need to do the engine harness and put it back it std spec.

car is also fully stripped and on skewers - I am giving it a VERY good thinners bath.

  • 3 weeks later...

ordered a few small parts for it yesterday. mainly inside trim stuff.

door panels (GTR) are approx $450 each. once the small trim stuff arrived I am going to order one panel.

I dunno if you get good prices at your local Nissan but have you tried getting parts from Nissan Japan?

With all the parts your buying you might be able to save a heap over time.

Well done tho.

only things I buy local are glass and BIG panels. the rest is done out of japan. (okinawa actually) . I buy a fair bit off them and get decent prices because of it.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
