mate, you are going to be be able to relive what all the drivers who bought new GTR's felt and then some with your improvements. I hope you plan to keep this car for life because selling it would be a crime.

Can I ask what the difference is between Nismo suspension arms and the factory stuff?

Nismo stuff has Nismo stiffer than stock rubber bushes, silver paint & stickers.

Absolutely Hugo, plan to have her for a lifetime mate!

Out of curiosity, where did you source the suspension (or is that a bit hush hush)? And what spring rates are they?

Sourced from Gary Cook aka Sydneykid here on SAU Damien. His email is garycook@bigpond.net.au

Can I ask what the difference is between Nismo suspension arms and the factory stuff?

What Michael (Miguelone) said. Picked these up cheap and near new so easy way to get fresher and firmer bushes that aren't 20 years old. They do look to have a few extra gussets as well and neater welds. And come in silver which will look purty... :yes:

How do the Eibach springs compare with the Whiteline springs that Gary used to bundle with his recommended setup for GTR's and GTSt's?

No idea sorry mate, best to shoot Gary an email

djr81 - appreciate the input re suspension tops mate, will shoot you a PM, definitely looks like the go

Have had some big weekends of late and making some decent progress...

Pulled out all the plastic bumpers and body kit to start the strip down, cleaning and paint prep process...not fun

Noticed the factory plastic skirts were warped and decided to remove the metal inserts and leave them out for good

Not to far away then mate! Haha sounds good, might be a couple of years away but.....

Dream Car Garage (TV show) just had a special on the Nordschleife and I watched it yesterday...SO KEEN

I'll shoot you a PM incase that dream does come true!!!

Robbie,

You can get 98% of everything from Nissan. The real question is can you purchase it from them without getting ass raped from them....

Door seals and certain molds can be sourced locally at far cheaper prices than Nissan.

Just need to look them up ;)

that is a function of the panel. mine has the same problem. I just ordered the complete set of panels. easier. I have a set of GTR panels here that are in decent nick - $100 and they are yours.

    • Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.  
    • I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao. 
    • Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.
    • 100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.
    • Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
