Yeah I know people will either love it or hate it, but at the end of the day I need to promote the business, and I want to do it with something that is a bit different that will stand out from the cro

How much are they asking? Just out of interest.

Also finally got the brake sorted today/ All bled up although we found an issue - the pedal box is flexing so some more fab work will be required. Just awaiting a steer coupling to arrive - the car will be rolling next week with all brand new steering, suspension and brakes. Finally it feels like we're now on the down hill run. Such a relief! Will post photos of it all once it's all done.

Been a while since a post. Engine is away getting built. Brakes, suspension, steering all plumbed up and ready to go. Although have stripped it all again to prep the engine bay for the engine. Not going over the top with it, just want to keep it neat, so a quick clean, sand, primer then paint. Got a few welds to clean up/grind down on the firewall where a guy had a go at welding some plates in... sheesh I can't tell you how bad the job was. So that will happen next week then I can get the rest painted. Will slowly then clean and paint the wheel wells and make my way back under the chassis over time and get it all clean and the same colour. Good old Machinery Grey Rust Guard. The reason for this colour is that when it gets scratched if a tool is dropped or I have to make any other repairs I can just pick up a can from the local bunnings and away I go. Looks neat, that's the main thing.

Finally got some new brakes on the Prince, Discs aren't racing legal but we're just testing them as they're some cheap AP knock offs. We had to turn them down from their original soze. At least we got some tiny little alloy hats in there. These were the very first calipers I designed. They take WRX pads so plenty of pad options available for the car for a long time now and about 20% more pad area than before (not to mentioned the extra cooling from a ventilated disc)

And the finished engine bay of the DR. Good old rust guard in a spray pack comes out alright!

So finally got the car out of the storage place and back into the olds' yard. Welded in some a-pillar gussets today, which is the first time I've welded in 4+ years, and using a cheap Ebay tig. Results weren't bad. Interior should be painted next weekend and then we're ready to put the engine back in and start on wiring. There is some light finally.

Thank you for bringing the Prince GT to the Heritage GTR Display.

Thanks to your Dad Dick. I introduced him to Terry Ashwood and they had quite a long chat whilst I talked with Rod Markland.

Kevin San with the Hako... next to you has been asked to write an article about the Heritage Display Cars. I think I have enough information about the Prince GT but if Dick would like to add a few short words we'll appreciate any other comments if they fit in.

No problems Terry, thanks for the invite. We'll be back next year and bring both cars to compete in the Gymkhana if we can get mine finished! Am sure Dad would be happy to add a few works. Please get Kevin to get in touch with dad directly. I can send his phone number via PM.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
