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.

It's almost time... panels looks good. :D

Cheers. I am so happy with how the paint came out. Will get some pics someday that do it justice!

Im still waiting to see what the carbon intercooler surround looks like fitted up!!!

Only cause i want one haha.

Looking great mate!!

Thanks again, didn't end up using shroud man

Nuts! Looks so good! Where did you get the carbon exhaust guard mate?

Cheers mate. I got it off a member on here ages ago

Im at my desk furiously beating off to this.

Amazing

Hahaha :blush:

It's incredible to look at the underside of a car & think; "Crikey; those tyres sure are dirty!"

Amazing work, absolutely in awe of your patience & dedication. :worship:

Thank you Dale. She is definitely a labour of love and has given me plenty of grey hairs over the last 18 months! I just kept telling myself 'NEVER GIVE UP'. After all I have been dreaming of doing this since my first ride in a BNR32 over 10 years ago now!

The best ive ever seen,fantastic effort!

Cheers Matt. Wait until you see it in the flesh....

Still plenty of little things to finish off but she is getting very close. Finishing it off has been tough as I now spent most of my time doing this when I am in the shed

ENJOY :thumbsup:

Hi Robbie, Gareth here....finally caught up with this thread.....have been rationing it for soooo long now not wanting to catch up and be able to view on demand........like i told you on the phone, sensational build, I have enjoyed it immensely, I know what people mean when they talk about not wanting to subject it to the aussie roads though, i just went for a 1500km mini-holiday in my 32 up in the victorian alps, some of the roads are in appalling condition, impossible to enjoy the drive when your too busy dodging pot holes and lumps in the road! If my car was in the mint condition yours is now in i would probably have cried on several occasions, as it's not i was only moderately cringing/pissed off when i couldn't dodge something...

can't wait to see it completed, not long to go...keep up the good work!

Amazing work mate - looks sensational.

Quality of finish is better than factory!

Couple of queries....?

No dust boots on the dampers?

Did you consider powder coating instead of paint? Especially the larger items like sub frames and the like that a a major pita to take out to repaint when the inevitable stone chips occur. Powder coat - when prepared properly, would give a much more resilient finish.

Look forward to a similar level of OCD on the interior!

Thanks again Damien. Yep, it's a Garage Defend item ex Japan. I wasn't happy with the finish on the shroud so didn't end up using it

Thanks Clive, I was going for that, she is my interpretation of the ultimate GT-R.

Good points, Bilstein didn't supply any boots...has anyone fitted some??

Powder coat never looked into but yeah good thinking. No idea what it would to do subframes....will wait and see how paint holds up

That looks so awesome mate! I hope i can see videos from the car in action? :-)

Best regards from germany!

Thanks again Kevin, will be a while before videos of her in action, you can't rush perfection haha

Bloody brilliant build mate, it's been a pleasure to read. Keep up the excellent work! :wub:

Great to hear thanks Abz, appreciate the feedback mate. Not long to go now, will do. Cheers

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.

      Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine

      Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.

      I used to love going to Amaroo to watch the HQ series go for broke (eventually stopped due to lack of spare parts) and also the Porsche series.  It was so cool to back your car up to nearly the edge of the viewing barrier and party with your friends, having a bbq and alcoholic/non drinks. It was such a family/mates atmosphere
