When it was ready to come home for final prep prior to the panel shop we found the trailer no longer suited the car, so took to it with an angle grinder... Keen eyes will notice the front bar and spare wheel on the trailer are now missing to get the thing to fit on... We will re-assess the trailer situation once its all complete!

This brings us up to date with the current progress, things are all happening VERY fast now and the car is taking shape... In the next few weeks you will likely see images of the finished product, after those the car will be re-wired, suspension modified and aligned and then its time to test...

Unloading is not so fun anymore -

Had a look and realised most of the photos from the Brakes, bodywork, underbody etc are not on this PC... But here are a couple of the brake setup from my old phone...

So the kit is the Alcon 365mm Motorsport kit from Brakes Direct, not to be confused with the street spec kits they advertise, the calliper and pads are completely different -

Ditched the old backing plates to make them fit, will run a brake ducting setup later -

And the finished product all fitted and bled -

The newer pics will be put on FB, but ill keep this build thread for the technical aspects and DIY images etc...

Any questions, advice or just general discussion can be kept here too! If it benefits other members then its a bonus!

My god - this beast looks amazing!!

Well done mate.

Thanks mate, really looking forward to the next few weeks as the car evolves!

Mocking up panels was one thing, but seeing them being moulded to the car and taking shape is SO much better!

Man good job in that interior there. Ill have to do that at some point and im not looking forward to it.

The amount of hours grinding away body glue and crap is amazing, i spent ages on it!

Its going to look good once done, i guess nobody will appreciate the man hours involved until they attempt it themselves, i know i didnt lol

HMM call me sherlock.

What colour you painting it?

Just the original white...

Call me Mr Original... lol

I plan on keeping the whole car looking plain as a GTT/R should look.

I will be keeping stickers/logos to a minimum, however the companies that have supported me so far will also have a say in this.

Apart from the roll cage..... And all the body work.... :nyaanyaa:

Since it's full stripped you should put the GTR driveline in it... Just sayin.

I just had my dad remove the sound deadning out of mine as a little project. I think it took about 18hrs spread across 3 days of -5c. Not looking forward to rubbing it back. Yours looks way nicer inside and will look mint with a fresh coat of paint!!

I would have just built a GTR if i wanted that, i wanted RWD and something a little different...

I love driving the rwd GTT but also always preferred the GTR look... So figured why not have both!

It is not a nice job!

I found the glue was the worst part, i guess as they know it will be covered in carpet etc that they just dont car what it looks like but they managed to get it everywhere and it is really stubborn when you try to remove it! I went through quite a few wire wheels...

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
