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.

On day one of this build I was a little bit meh, same old same old but mate you've made all those blokes on the first few pages eat their words (and mine that thankfully I didn't put on paper!!). I hope they've since apologised!

This is truly and extremly thorough build and in 10 years will hopefully see this car worth twice any other 32 GTR out there.

Hats off to you on an inspiring build that is all about being brilliant at the basics.

Well done!

Drool... Keep it up bro!

Ha coming together quick now!! Last weekend of painting coming up...masking tape = FML

Robbie. You are doing a sensational job. It's almost there and soon you will be able to enjoy it mate ;)

Thanks man. It's understatement to say this build has consumed me. Nearly there hey, just so many little things to get sorted once she is all back together.

Hanging out for all the first's....

:cheers:

Thanks heaps Ewan. You're right, some wack comments were made considering the thread had only just been posted!?

Really appreciate your input mate. It's words like yours that give me the will to keep pushing on to get this done. As you could probably understand, at times it's hard to justify the time and effort...the hours that I have put into this build are pretty worrying but realistically that's what it takes to get a result that hopefully is worth it all in the end and will provide years and years of enjoyment/appreciation of achieving a dream.

I agree, I don't think it's unrealistic either that the bnr32 will appreciate in value over the next decade or 2 or 3...time will tell

Thanks again mate

Why do you want new OEM rear tops etc? Just get some ISC tops similar to whaterver you have at the front. The stock tops dont work well with the 65mm spring.

Are the springs all 200mm long because a 5kg/mm 8" front sprng is a little short on travel.

I probably missed it but what brand of top did you buy? Rubber or bearing type?

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By pogman · Posted

      hey mate so i was in a similar position needing something better than oem for track but also wanting it to look the part, i went for APG APG Performance Brakes they are a solid price and i have had no issues with any of the components from them. the rotors and pads can be swapped out for all the usual brands just ensure you are getting the right sizes. i have just a front kit on my car. i would recommend upgrading to a bigger master cylinder as they are a bigger calliper so you can actually notice some increased braking performance

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys, I've just bit the bullet on a forged rebuild for my 25det looking at making 600rwhp with the built engine. Having always been a butthurt for big brakes, I'd like to upgrade the fronts. I have looked at a few different websites, not have really stood out to me. What are some good quality front brakes, are the Attkd ones any good?    Thanks.

      Went out for drive with Jackie for a while in the Mazda and whilst it was raining cats and dogs, the interior and boot are still nice and dry so the top and drains are working well to keep the elements out, winning

      Max horse power stock internals?

      And yes would be going to tomei Japan for sure as it’s closer to me …

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.
