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 -

The front end looks F-ing amazing. Can't wait to see this thing.

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...

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
