Because of the heat, fibreglass flexes in the heat and warps, its cracked along the the edge where the headlights are.

metal guards as well as a coupe tail light conversion is being considered.

this happens due to incorrect fitment of the fibreglass guards...Take it to someone that knows what they are doing

Nice update!! This thing needed a 26!!

When you had popped out your rear window, did you have to buy new rear window seals?

yep, needed new seals. opted for the generic ones for now, ill be redoing all genuine seals when its redone again with metal guards, hows your wide body going?

Got all mine from the von bibra nissan in QLD, still available and surprisingly cheap

He's done a few mr2/ferrari kits and they've all come out perfect, he's gonna redo it soon, but yeah, ill be getting steel guards made up and cutting the old metal guards. That way, its stronger, I can run 10.5s without being worried ill smash the guards and no ripples!

male stripper.

I've just painted my engine bay, about to get 26 in and rest of driveline all up and running. Then I will tackle the widebody and paint it myself. April is the deadline.

I'm going to try moulded like yours first, if it fails then I'll cut some out of a GTR coupe and do it like the guy did with that BMW wagon.

I've just got a low km 26 out of an unmodified 93 model 32 half cut. I will build it when it goes pop, which I'm hoping wont be for a little while at least. I'll start a build thread when the motor is in so I dont thread steal from you anymore! lol

What specs are you building your motor to, turbo etc?

Sweet!

I'm going forged rods and pistons, balanced crank, block work as usual, light headjob.

ill be running rebuilt lemans turbos with stock piping, airbox and cooler, expecting 320kw.

raised the car today, fixed my headlight and exhaust leak so ready for rwc on Friday.

also called up some engineering places to get some metal guards made up.

so my beater came past today for a smoko/coffee/talk some shit.

had a look at the car, and he isnt happy with it, pretty much said i really should go metal.

so once its registered, ill start looking for some clean GTR rear guards to chop up

Looks good. It took a lot of effort to get mine right

I love your car!

how did you overcome the cracks and ripples?

Congrats dude

Naow skid.

thanks boys, I did take it for a thrash Jesse.

rego is on Monday then back to the panel beaters to finish off the paint, fix the cracks etc

so i was on my way to vicroads, literally turned out of work car park, turned the corner and stutututututerrrrrr... the car just konked out...

i pushed it to the mechanic next door to my shop(who thankfully knows RBs inside and out) and turns out the stale fuel + very few starts over a year and the hot weather have cooked the plugs. drained the tank, new plugs, fresh 98 and its purring again. but it was missing on boost so i taped up the coil packs for now and its fine!

having missed my appointment i was furious.

but.

with every low theres a bigger high.

her names sarah, and she wants to play :)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
