+3 for copy of original, do you still need the whole surround Shane or are you sorted

Yes, we need the whole surrounds so that we can understand how they attach and manufacture accordingly. If anyone does have them, please let me know and I will look after you with a free set of lenses. Be aware that we would need the surrounds for the duration of the project, so this must either be a spare set or from a car that is not on the road at the moment.

wow you really smashed it up... I was able to remove two with no damage, so I think your being too rough pretty much

How'd you get yours apart? I gather a bit of heat to loosen everything up?

Hopefully it will work out affordable enough for psi to make the whole unit so it's a direct swap, would be nice and easy that way

yeap a bit of extended low temp oven work, make sure its a low temp though, you dont want to soften the lense itself just enough to make the glue workable...

Im still keen to get some time to try cutting the fog light lense down to fit, but whatever works really....

are you able to shave the side indicators legally though, I thought you need a side indicator but some cars can get away with it because their front indicators are usually where our parkers are and since can be seen from the side???

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
