Interesting idea and if you hadn't jumped down everyone's throats who disagreed or didn't think it was a good idea you would get a lot more out of the forum. Instead you've started a thread with a pretty outlandish idea and then proceeded to belittle everyone's opinions which isn't your own. Then you continue on and stereotype every member of a forum into 2 categories, posers as you seem to be implying and people who have been around in the car scene for awhile. I'm getting the vibe that you would fit into the latter by your own standards. How arrogant are you?

The point of the forum is to generate discussion and you won't get anything meaningful unless you start taking other peoples opinions on board. If this topic isn't for advice about how or why or where to do something and more of a hey guys look what I'm doing why don't you start a thread in the Projects and Builds thread when you have started it? You coming in here and telling everyone how awesome you are and how out of the box your ideas are serves nobody but your own massive ego. Take a step back, a deep breath and loosen the grip around your cock and start contributing to the forum.

Took the bait, I think this is the worlds worst troll for the record but f**k it.

not sure why im quoting this. from the OP probably needs to read this more than once

Stop asking for opinions and just do it, you big pussy!

You obviously don't give a shit about suggestions/opinions on here so why'd you bother posting in the first place?

Reading some of your silly remarks made me think of good ol' Fry.

How are you planning to connect the aesthetics to the original body - are you going to blend it and sign it down or wield? Which is safer?

The ends of the side skirts will need to be reshaped to match up with the new arches, same goes with the rear pods and/or bumper, otherwise it'll bolt on as per factory.

We have moulded side skirts onto the actual body before, but for it to make any sense, you would need to modify the side skirts by cutting the front section off and have it attached to the front fender so that the whole fender can be removed if need be.

am i the only one that feels as though you're baiting for people to disagree with you so that you can try and beat them down due to their "inexperience" ?

I wouldn't be beating them down if their comments were constructive. I'd take in a comment from a lesser-experienced person with the greatest interest and respect if it was constructive, but somehow I dont consider people that have NEVER attempted anything before raving on how hard something is as being constructive.

Mate, I think you are seem to know what you are doing so go for it mate.

Why don't you post up progress-by-progress updates with pictures? I am really interested in how this shapes up.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

so there are people who can adjust points and people who dont know anything... what about people who know about ignitions systems designed after the 1980s.......also which one of these two groups works on diesels cos last time i checked they dont have point or coils, or spark plugs... if you just weld these massive guards over your standard ones and actually want to fill them out with aggresive offset wheels you will either have to have the car at a ghey height (Ie too high) or have like 500kg spring rate so you dont smash your origional guards.. but whatever go for it it seems like you have alot of support....

Well that asks alot of questions. How the hell would u know what anyone on has done before?? Did you even think that maybe they tried something like this and advise against it because the level of difficulty to do it PROPERLY is beyond the skills of some sheetmetal workers and all amatuers?? A job like this would take at least 100-200 man hrs just to get it to primer and done properly. Just because youve welded guards on a paddock basher galant doesnt mean you know what your doing. Wheres the pics of your good work?? But if your such a gun with sheetmetal why did you start this thread?? Its evident by your attitude thats its your way or no way, so nothing we say will change your mind. Why arent we reading a build up thread of you having already done it?? Are you looking for approval?? Its pretty clear that everyone thinks it will look stupid. My skills with sheetmetal are poor at best but ive been involved with enough custom work to know what your proposing is a huge undertaking. You bang on about being "constructive" so tell us a clear and cogent argument of how to blend the commodore gaurds onto the car so they dont just look stuck on there?? IMHO it will look stuck on regardless as the corner and side profiles are just too different. My apologies to all for crazy long rant.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
