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 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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Piggaz · Posted

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      By f00stx · Posted

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
