Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

Thanks again for all your help with these. Appreciate it.

Got a chance to get the rest of the dash out over the last few days and started to suss out the items below

IMG_5921.JPG

1. OEM clutch line

IMG_5926.JPG

2. OEM slave cylinder

IMG_5934.JPG

3. OEM clutch pedal bracket

IMG_5944.JPG

Looking to do a decent amount of track work and had heard this bracket was prone to breaking. Having a closer look you can see it has previously been welded up due to exactly this

IMG_5939.JPG

IMG_5942.JPG

All the above items are being upgraded to Nismo items below:

IMG_5947.JPG

Nismo item looks to be a lot stronger, so will hopefully love the track conditions

OEM clutch cylinder is also out ready for new OEM Nissan item to go in

Yeah cheers Richard. Hopefully end up with a reliable, fun and clean 32R

Got started on the front end, front sub-frame is now ready to drop out and to start the strip down

Also, got started on completing removing the HICAS system (was initially just going to throw the lock bar in but decided I want the additional room in the engine bay room and why not save a bit of weight!)

Don't worry. All good things take time. I am pedantic with everything I do to my car which results in a lot of time being spent but is all worth it at the end.

Very nice! I wish i had a hoist in my garage so i could do this kind of work. So much easier with a hoist.

Nice buy with the gram lights. I was sooo close to buying them, but they wouldnt fit over my brakes and i didnt wana run spacers.

Now subscribed. Keep it up :thumbsup:

Cheers Damien. Hoist = super fun happy time ha. Yeah wheels should hopefully work with the look I am after, time will tell

Yeh spacers = junk. Not much progress of late...but will keep on keeping on!

Started getting the rear apart ready for paint prep and new rear tail/reverse lights to go in:

1. Getting rear exhaust shields out and ready to cleaned and painted

IMG_5903.JPG

IMG_5908.JPG

My little friend, works great to loosen up the sealant around rear tail lights

IMG_5909.JPG

This is where we got up to, scraper works to get most the black gummy sealant off, then just thinners on a rag worked sweetly

Nice job man.

Ditto on rear exhaust shield.

Mine looked liked yours but I then sanded (by hand) to look like this (which took aaaaages)

If you can get it sandblasted though do it.

Keen to see more updates :thumbsup:

Nice work, Robbie. Your build gives me a lot of ideas for my 32-R. You're right about changing the clutch cylinders. Mine gave out about a month ago. I had to replace them with OEM. Ironically, I'm probably going to replace them with NISMO items like you did, lol.

Thanks Evan. Will do mate, I may have enlist Paul to help me with install as he is the expert!

I have seen your cage and it's unreal mate. I am thinking I won't cage this one as I understand can't legally have weld in cage in QLD and this car will be street registered.

I may think about a bolt in for safety aspect but even then would need to remove rear seats etc and change rego to a 2 seater...

Just doesn't seem like the hassle as want to keep this one as clean as possible

Cheers Ruben. Good to hear mate, have spent considerable time on researching parts, mods etc so good to help it's helping you out.

Yeah hopefully everything will be fresh and ready for the track!

Great build! Eager to see whats next...

Cheers Jason. Doing my best to get photos etc up on here but really trying to car ready for paint

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
