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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
