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 :)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
