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 :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
