what alterations did you have to make to the wiring harness to get the motor running and the cluster reading correctly?

wiring harness was done by a workshop

to get the cluster/speedo working you need to use a navara sender. if you search there should be a few write ups on how it's done.

Couple of shots of the car from the Downshift meet last weekend. Car is currently just waiting on new set of wheels and a wheel alignment and then it's ready to finally roll. R33 front lca's are in, as well as new rear wheel bearings, rear traction arms and some pineapples to stiffen the rear end up.

with regards to your leaking sunroof, have you considered removing the glass/winding mechanism etc and replacing it with (slightly curved)perpex, any capable windscreen place should be able to do it

Recaros are sold and got a r32 gtr passenger seat in the car and an old school Bride recliner drivers seat.

The Bride seat is absolutely fantastic. Massive improvement over the Recaros

Will give the car a wash and then take some hard parked shots later in the week.

Forgot to say, had the car serviced and re-tuned down from 16psi to 360rwhp at 14psi.

Clutch is going to need replacing soon and with my crappy tyres I still have no traction till 4th, so 14psi may buy me a few more weeks on the clutch.

Good stuff mate Im doing the 25 in my 32 too.. might try the gtr reo bar as well if you think it made much of a difference

You can see the difference in how it sat if you look at earlier photos.

With the gtr reo it sits perfectly

Cheers. Always thought the car was a bit untidy and half finished, but I take that as a compliment.

Had a work appointment close to home last week so decided to take it out for a spin instead of the work car so took a few hard parked shots while I was a bit idle

Then that same evening on my way home from basketball the clutch pedal dropped down to the floor and I could not get it into gear. Had a look and most likely the master or slave have failed as there was no fluid

So while I waited for my friendly RACQ towtruck to arrive, took the front bumper off so it's easier to get the car on the truck

It's not a big issue or expensive, just have no time at the present to fix it, which is a shame as I was hoping to make it out to the downshift meet on Saturday

There should be a lot more progress in the second half of the year as the car will finally have a secure garage to park in at the end of this month, or the start of next, so I will finally have some secure room to do some work

Step one will be to finish stripping the interior completely and sort out the sunroof

Hey mate, that car looks awesome. I was looking at doing this build myself (basically reshelling my current R33 into a 32) and I have been doing heaps of research on it. It seems that the biggest problem is the drivetrain as Im going to keep the R33 gearbox. I have a few questions about your set up, How much did the custom tailshaft cost, and how reliable has it been? I've just heard a lot of bad stories about the single piece tail shaft

Wow I think I now have a direction to head in with my R32 gtst. Will definitely keep reading this build thread! Thanks for the inspiration, you're car is sweet!

Thanks mate.

Haven't personally heard of any issues around single piece tail shafts. Mine has been faultless since the conversion, and I have been running nearly 400rwhp for the last two years, without issue.

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
