Hey guys,

Just bought an 1989 R32 GTR, its my first skyline and first turbo car.

Im young so for the next couple of years it'll be solely a track car.

I bought it with work to do, not much to make it neat but enough to keep me occupied before i start

improving things further.

Enough of that, this thread will be basically keeping those who are interested, up to date with everything I'm doing.

Also plenty of good quality pictures for those who are just interested in pictures!

Here we go, excuse the size, not sure on how to post smaller...

Front bumper is off, front wheels too, that nasty brake fluid spill mark on the bonnet is the only noticeable paint defect.

Heres the back,

Front with the bar on, sorry i couldnt get the whole thing in the picture, limited garage space

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

and the cliche photographic shot

Cant forget the interior

wheels that came with the car, not my style but im not fussed

now for the good bits,

huge trust intercooler

oil cooler

old school GReddy gauges, well atleast i guess they're old school ahah

another 2 here for oil pressure and temp. wishing i had a 4th of the same style to make it look neater.

the first two things ill be focusing on, mounting the autronic computer. loom isnt long enough to go back through the firewall

for an internal mount but ill figure something out, too hot to have it in the engine bay i think.

secondly mounting the oil filter, im not sure if the lines are coming off the engine wrong and are tangled up

or something else that is stopping it from mounting properly with the bracket it has,

after all that i guess ill make up some sheet metal to fill this hole, or maybe put a stereo in there

not fussed at the moment

heres the engine bay, not the prettiest

guess ill finish up on the steering wheel,

if anyone wants to buy it send me an offer, dont exactly enjoy the feel of it

still looks pretty.

that'll do for now, hoping to make up some templates to make up another bracket for the

oil filter in the next few days.

see how we go from there.

hopefully more soon.

well im taking 2 days holidays from work,

so decided to do a little prepping for new parts,

firstly headlights came out, another set next week some time

stored away, zip bags for cleanliness and no loss of parts!

and then after that came the brakes turn!

new pads and rotors still to come

whilst they were off i decided i might as well make an attempt to make them look half decent

white base coat

blue top coat, will let them dry properly and bring back the white on the nissan writing.

bit of a lazy day today so thats all there is to show,

My computer just exploded. Resize the pictures m8.

I think the oil cooler needs a new home, lines must be pretty long.

any suggestions on places? i thought there was pretty much the only place :S

cant change whats been done but all from here on in will be 1000x667 or so

that boost gauge is sweet

yeah i really like it too! unfortunately i only have 3 guages in that same style but 4 holes in my dash need another at all costs!

no more buddy!

yes to the heat proof! ofcourse haha

not sure what it is, its rare that i even like kits on cars but this one seems to hit the spot.

Finished the brakes the other day,

getting the nissan logo was very tedious

one down, took about half an hour :|

two down! did the second one faster but i think overall it was a kinda scrappy job but oh well, they're just calipers

end result! came up not too bad i think

so i was fiddling around with my gauges the other day and i damaged one of the braided lines, just so happened to be the oil pressure gauge,

so there starts the oil leak

seat out to give myself some working space

glove box out and put into storage, will get a new one to replace, as for the braided line, i think new gauges is in order

thats all folks,
