ordered a new GTR hood catch support yesterday. $45

negoiated with an old SAU member NEW factory tinted side glass.

(brett, been busy with other things - sorrry. need those lights back as well pls.)

slowly buying more bits for it. lot going on in my personal life and not a lot of time to work on this.

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.

  • 3 weeks later...

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..

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.

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.

    • 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?
