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


Recommended Posts

I might've asked a while back, can't remember, but what paint are you using for the suspension components? What sort of durability are you expecting?

Autothane with flattening base. Durability - no idea, time will tell

This is just fantastic... Who did the ducting for the oil cooler?

Cheers, HKS (comes with the kit)

Wow!!! Just read through the whole thread and I'm amazed as to how much effort you are going to to make sure every detail is perfect.

Will be following the rest of your restoration now!!

Haha yeah has definitely snowballed....as Ron Burgundy says 'When in Rome...'

Looks like the ducting that comes with the HKS kit.

You know it!

Ah I see, looks the goods!

Robbie, sorry if you've mentioned, but what brand of fittings are you using? Proflow?

Aeroflow

Great thread, fantastic build. Amazing stuff mate, well done :)

Thanks heaps, build has def taken its toll, nearly there now but

just noticed but clamps for ic piping?

Just temporary for now man, test fitting everything

To make it easier when it is all said and done, he should list all the parts that he used ^_^

Maybe I will son maybe I will

Will get latest photos up asap, she should be rolling by end of the month :D

So I recently took on a few "fix-ups" on my gtr.
That has since snowballed into purchasing a built engine from Ewan (Shoota_77)

Now after spending the last hour reading through this thread,
I've opened 30 additional tabs pages of parts and realised that my deadline will probably now be pushed back to the end of the year.

Expect a PM from me shortly filled with questions.

But firstly, where did you get the HPI clutch line from? Link?

As so many have said before me, your thread has been an inspiration to push myself further with my own restore.
Thanks so much, and I'll be checking back daily to keep with your progress.

Looks awesome mate. Seems such a shame to hide the suspension with a wheel!

Cheers, fkn ay, has to be done

this car will be a rolling work of art in the next 2 months or so.

My masterpiece :w00t:

so good.

must be so much fun putting it together when there is so much detail in everything.

Sure is! Decent amount of time is lost spacing out admiring and dreaming of that first drive :wub:

Dude!!! Its so close.

I bet you can just taste the exhaust fumes and burnt rubber!!

So close man yet so many little things to do. Where are you at with yours? Those measurements work out ok?

How economical is it to get parts zinc coated? Would it be worth taking a whole bunch in, or can you just do small individual batches?

Those gram lights are gonna look so ill wrapped around those rotors :)

It's reasonable I think, you just have to find someone willing to do it! I have been taking small batches and taking photos of them so you can figure out if any have been lost and where they come from!

A few things have been lost but they have been turning up with the next batch!

Thanks mate, wheels and brake set-up should do the job....for now.

Waiting on a few new OEM ball joints etc but getting closer

Mine is still in the workshop. Has been for over 4 months now. Its just one thing after another. Almost done though.

It maxed the fuel system out at 22psi, only 660cc injectors with standard rail and lines, and pulled 430kw at all 4.

Now going 2000cc injectors, hypertune fuel rail and bigger braided lines, twin feed and return. Should be epic.

As for the measurements, thanks heaps by the way, I finally got everything sorted, the guy drew them up and they seemed to be good, so the design went off to the machinist this week (hopefully) and I should have some brackets and a brake setup to play with in a few weeks.

As soon as they are on, ill send you some pics man.

By the way, yours is looking so tidy, its amazing!!

Well I think we can safely say thread is delivering on title as promised...

How many tooth brushes have you gone through to get it to this state???? :) How on earth did you get the plugs, wiring, hose clamps so clean... man!

Love the dedication well done.

    • I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)
    • A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.
    • They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.
    • Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,  
    • I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
