Bnr32 - Once In A Lifetime Build All Gt-R Owners Must See

[$$slowmedown]

Yep. I sent him a pm regarding the same. But he is a busy, busy, busy boy.

Tein type flex were actually what I was looking at getting but they are discontinued. I think Tein coilovers are to harsh for our roads here. I think Bilstien are the way to go (although I have a thing for Tein)

Still juggling with coilovers, but will sort it out soon enough.

You just gonna recond the gearbox or something more exotic?

Yeah don't think the Tein's will be much use for what I am after....hopefully after talking with Gary and we'll both be on the right track!

Gearbox just a clean up man and some fresh Redline oil

Robbie and Anthony [email protected]

I am certain he wont mind receiving an email, even if he is busy.

Robbie - you have PM

You're a legend Richard. Shot him an email today. Thanks again mate

Decided not to run the Nismo clutch line, instead went with the HPI line (thanks to PaulR32gtr build thread!) as removes the below:

y HICAS hard lines out as well, just the speedo cable left now

Why did you decide on the HPI as opposed to the NISMO product?

[Miguelone]

Because it removes the stupid hardline setup that's designed to soften the clutch engagement. Obviously.

[CrimsonLey]

Thanks, ahole. Now i know. :-)

Good job!

This is something I could never do cuz when ever I work on some thing it explodes.

Great choice on Rims too!

[$$slowmedown]

Hey Ruben, yeah mate Michael is onto it ha....the HPI line is direct from master straight to the slave and deletes all the hard line junk as seen in the photo

Good job!

This is something I could never do cuz when ever I work on some thing it explodes.

Great choice on Rims too!

Cheers Michael, ha classic mate definitely hope explodes on this one! Yeah I think the rims should work pretty nice against the fresh gunmetal grey paint work...

I keep going over it all in my head and hope it turns out to what I have pictured!

Well last night was a good one, late and pissing fkn rain here, but finally took delivery of these:

1. Ganador CF mirrors

2. Project Mu SCR Pro front rotors

3. Nismo diff mount bushes kit

4. Endless pads F & R (33/34 Brembo calipers)

[thejedilestat]

Better and better

[Miguelone]

They those diff bushes that were on ebay? Where a bargain if so!

I know the ones you mean ha, but got mine from a member on here for even cheaper

Made a bit of progress today, good weather for working in the shed and watching the V8's...

Finally got the last of the HICAS system out, thank fk!

Coilovers next

Subframe out next, left the ATTESSA pump all hooked up for now

Ripe for more cleaning...oh joy...bushes look pretty sad as well

[Sinista32]

Love the Project Mu rotors Robbie. Personally I'm not a fan of the Ganador mirrors, they look great but hard to see out of. IMHO

It's interesting to me to see the condition of the parts as your pulling them off and replacing/fixing. I wonder if others are seeing what condition there GTR would be in.....

^^^^^^^ This. I think it's more the condition of a 20 year old car though. There are allot of bushes etc that people forget about. I think I might have to add a full susspention bush replacement to my list!!!

[Sinista32]

True dat ^. When you buy one a refresh, if it hasn't been done, is in order. Thats where the big cashish comes in !!

It's almost, at least it was to me, to refresh pretty much everything mechanical or moves. Including engine re-build - lmao

Although I paid for most to be done I never got to see to this detail the condition of old, so I'm lovin this thread.

Good build

[thejedilestat]

Killer mirrors!

They are nice, will do some comparison shots once stock fronts are off. Will see how Ganador's go, have always wanted to own a since I first saw them so many years ago...will be keeping standard mirrors as well.

Made a bit of progress on the weekend, the old boy and I knocked this guy up which will come in handy to fit rear subframe back up when the time comes

So much time goes into doing jobs like this! Shed should be a pretty good workshop by the time it's done....

Subframe got a clean down ready to start disassembly

Also, got these items back from coating, exhaust shields and hanger in ceramic

Few bay parts in wrinkle + random gear stick boot surround

More to come tomorrow, need sleep

[Ants]

Nice one Robbie.

It's good to get things accomplished.

Your not wrong in saying that jobs like this take a lot of time. Majority of it is about having a plan and being organized just like the rear subframe bench you fabricated.

It all goes a long way but at least you know the work is done correctly and to your liking.

[timmy_89]

build is coming along nicely man

can't wait to see more.

Sure is mate, no matter how I get done but, it's never enough! Constant struggle...but getting there, just wish it sooner!

build is coming along nicely man

Cheers Tim, yeah next few months ahead will be the real fun!

Bulk of bracing items below, still waiting on Do Luck interior floor brace to come back but

1. Tein strut braces

2. JSpeed front fender braces & Jap made trans tunnel brace

[$$slowmedown]

Small update, been flat out with other stuff and not much spent in shed lately, did manage to finally get front subframe over Easter (after weeks of talking about doing it!!)

Ready for first clean down

Bay post removal

Post first clean

[$$slowmedown]

Few more parts in

Bulbs for N1's

New battery for the boot (thanks Paul)

Whiteline gear courtesy of Gary (we decided not to run the solid aluminium subframe bushes due to their harshness)

Latest shipment of Nissan parts

[Ants]

Nice job Robbie.

Getting that rear subframe all cleaned up takes some time and patience.

Good job.

Always love OEM parts.
