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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
