New to here and have bean reading allot of you project build ups and thought I would start my own.

I used to be a Commodore fan having owned a few modified ones in my time. When it came to getting a new car my girl-fend played a big part turning me to the dark side lol.

I have owned this car since the start of the year. Bought it with the rb26dett already in it.

The car came with some goodies all ready installed:

Apexi power fc

Z32 afm's

Gready turbos

Forged bottom end

Tein suspension

R32 GTR seats

Vertex body kit

At the time I brought it it was only making 260rwkw because the guy I had brought it from had it de-tuned from 360rwkw. He said that it had too much power for him....... :unsure:

I didn't get to drive it home at that time I had lost my licence for 6 months and was going to get my licence back the following month so it was sort of a present to me. My girlfriend got the pleasure of driving it home with me riding shot gun. What a great ride home that was had a smile from ear to ear.

One week before I was meant to get my licence back I got a summons to go back to lose it again for 12 months. This pissed me off at the start but I know I have to pay the consequences for what I did. So now I had a good car but no licence again what to do. First thing I thought about doing was to sell it then the better got to me and I decided to just keep it because I owed no money on it and just modified it some more.

That brings to me where I am now, so I have started stripping down the car to start work on it .1 is because it was rushed to be put together and 2, just cos I can.

Things that I want to accomplish are:

Detailed engine bay which include polishing most engine parts, Flatten firewall, smooth wheel arches ect

Fix dented roof ( Someone decided that it was a good idea to put the bonnet onto it)

Install some type of wide body onto it (not sure which one yet)

New Interia.

Full body respray

That's enough talking for now Ill let the pic tell the rest. Only got pic of how it sits now will post up how I got it later.

Pics to be uploaded tomorrow when the internet connection plays ball.

Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks Mark

p.s.

I am dyslexic, please excuse any spelling or grammar errors....

Nice work man. This is exactly what I wanted to do 3 years ago but after looking for a decent 32 with a 25 or 26 already fitted I ended up buying a GTR. Still would've loved to do this widebody conversion. Good luck I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. :yes:

trustr32 thanks for the kind words. Bean waching your thred too. Looks like you have spent alot of tyme on yours. Was lucky to get it allready converted saves alot of money. Only problem whith the conversion some reason it has a sr20 gearbox. Going to change that out to a r33 rb25 one soon

Yes I have cut all the rust out on both sides. Pasenger side was so much werse than what was showen. Looks like there was some panals replaced once and thay decided to put dubble sided tape between the two panals. That was one of the rasons why I decided to do the wide body and also just becouse I think the kit looks hot.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
