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

[$$slowmedown]

Great build mate can't wait to see how it turns out.

Cheers, you and me both man...deadline has been set for end of Sept this year so really putting in the hours now.

Everything still taking 4 times as long as I think it will...slowly getting there but, doing on plenty of cleaning etc still and more to come

Few items I've had for a while and had a chance to inspect and starting cleaning up:

Mint bnr34 OEM bov's

HKS hard intake pipes

Nismo rear arm set (near new)

Spare ECU with NIStune onboard

Bnr34 front Brembo's

[$$slowmedown]

Key components of the car sorted...can not thank Gary enough for his help and advice.

We are very very lucky to have a member here on the forums with his knowledge and contacts.

Enjoy guys

Whiteline front swaybar end links

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.

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

[gtr jet]

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

[Ryno]

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?

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

Sourced from Gary Cook aka Sydneykid here on SAU Damien. His email is [email protected]

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...

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...

Front sub frame bare and ready for paint prep

[$$slowmedown]

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

Ready for first wash down

Original rear rio bar pictured above had seen better days and will using this spare on instead as it's like brand new

Stripping first door

[R32GOJIRA]

Cheers, she has come so far but endless jobs still to do!

Haha yeah everything is so fkn dirty, going to be unreal working on it once everything is clean/new/painted etc

Moving along quite well. What are you doing for interior ? New old stock?

Getting there man, but as you prob know, never quick enough!

Interior - getting all seats and parcel shelf recovered, unsure on fabric yet...thinking black suede or similar

New upper rear trims and thinking of getting door cards and lower rear trims recovered but no idea on that yet...

Will prob get new aftermarket carpet in black or custom...yet to get over to my upholsterer and talk it all over

There is also this to attend to

Anyone know if this piece can be purchased from Nissan...?

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

[Chris Rogers]

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.
