The only thing I hate about this car is that I don't own it. You lived up to the name of the thread and even exceeded it, definitely a once in a life time

Thank you kind Sir!!! Always great to hear the feedback Brett, thanks again mate

Asking price ?? lol

must admit I was sceptical on day1 and baulked at the Thread topic, but big Props to you - 1 of A

built to order/.suit - that's what I really appreciate. It's how YOU wanted it.

Just want to see it in the flesh and even 'out n bout' MORE photo's........

Haha yeah man I knew the thread title would get some attention and take some living up to!!

Thanks heaps Richard. Exactly mate, BUILT NOT BOUGHT, you guys are looking at my DREAM being realised

2014 will be the year our (Dad and I) very own Godzilla is reborn!

Last of the photos...................for now

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.

This car is massively awesome. Well done mate.

Cheers Ravi, appreciate that.

Well there has been pretty much zero progress for the last two months as I have been away travelling. After eating, sleeping and breathing this build for 18 months straight it was good to get away from it all!

Saying that I got back on the weekend and haven't wasted any time getting back into it.Lots of little things to finish off over the next few weeks and have fingers crossed that I will be able to go for that first drive this time next month :D

Awesome build man, Turned out 110% better then expected.

Especially love the engine bay colours etc. Hopefully the roads

up there are gentle on the beauty.

Im so excited knowing your back and updates are coming.

Also how good are decent holidays where you can leave Everything behind.

Ah thanks man! Will get the updates flowing asap. Really can't wait to get behind the wheel and see what we have created haha

They are fkn legit right?! Especially when you're able to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari F430 GT race car :w00t:

Beautiful car.

Just curious about the front towhook, how did you mount it?

Thanks Jimmy. Link is below, it bolts through the OEM tow hook which is welded to the chassis rail. You can also unscrew the red look/hook part from the mounting section! They are a nice bit of gear...

Thanks heaps Kyle, yep definitely exceeded my own expectations. Yeah me too, I but now I refer to the engine bay as my 'work of art' lol

Roads aren't the best but she won't see them all that much and only when the sun is out!!

Well done mate! You should take it to a Nissan dealership and show them that it's cleaner than anything they've had through their showroom!

Only thing I would personally change is the wheels, but that said, they are not bad, and do definitely give it a unique look, so good in that regard!

Ha cheers Jeremy. I am happy with the wheels for now...they are a great fit and I love the stance they give the car.

I have not yet seen any other wheels in the exact same size/offset...always open to suggestions!

Brake booster had to come out as there was a leak somewhere, has now been rebuilt and should go back in this week

Filters off to helicoil the aluminium adaptor plates

Noticed a bit of smoke coming from front manifold after initial runs, coolant line had been sitting on the manifold heat shield :(

Will replace with new hose and heat shielding

Set of OEM front belts cleaned up ready to go in

Testing out harness (for events/track). Has anyone come across any plastic inserts for the oval in the OEM seat (to stop harness rubbing on material)??

Nismo did make them but have been discontinued for a long long time now as far as I know...

As far as wheels go, the BBS LMs can usually be sourced in 18x10 +20. Them in the BBS gold would look hot on your car.

IF you get bored of doing your car you can spend some time on mine :yes: Loving your work. Made it look a shit ton easier than it was. My mind is blown at the attention to detail for the engine bay. Something im only just starting to work on.

Cheers for wheel input Michael and Damien, appreciate it.

And thanks heaps to Tim and James for the heaps up on the extinguisher mount, it should arrive this week :yes:

As if the wheels in the car don't look the bomb. They have the good balance of stance and performance.

:blush: Cheers Bryce, liking them even more now car is finally on the road! THAT STANCE :wub:

Haha thanks Anthony, ah yes the hours upon hours of work and nothing is easy right!? Everything takes 5 times longer than you hoped/thought...

Ah that engine bay...such a labour of love! Massive job and just not possible without the guidance/skills of my boss mechanic. All the best with yours mate.

Was absolutely flat out all weekend getting car ready to test drive for Sunday. We got there in the end and it was a massive success!!!

Finished up about 10 am Sunday and drove her off the hoist for a quick wash. Hit the road around lunch and headed for the local BP to fill up with a tank of Ultimate. Wheel alignment was pretty decent considering done by sight..

First issue was aircon not working, never a good thing in Brissy. Rolled around mechanics place and he diagnosed it was just inside air temp sensor unplugged :worship: . Plugged her in and all good, crisp cold air all day

Second issue, a weird knock noise in the front left only. One of those annoying things that has been impossible to pin point so far :rant:

Other than that she was a dream to drive, all those beautiful sounds and everything working well. Was so flat out making it happen had zero time for photos and video, hopefully this coming weekend.

Excellent build thread, car looks brand new and super clean.

Sorry if you dont mind me asking, what footrest metal plate is that? My car has three vspec 2 pedals but my footrest is still plastic.

Hope the small issues arent too difficult for you to address and enjoy the car.

Thanks mate. Yeh did see them a while ago but had already gone with the full suede. Nice, would be keen to have a look in the flesh one day

Love the build man and has given me many ideas for my mini gtr resto I'm doing at the moment. Even gave my box a coat.

Great to hear Luke! Nice box mate :woot: looks clean. You going to clear it?

And where's your thread....?

Can truly appreciate the effort that has gone into this! Keep it up mate, fantastic

Cheers Joseph, sooooooo much effort mate! Coming up 2 years in 2 weeks time. Fkn hard to believe sometimes, just endless hours in it :/

Thanks heaps Aaron. Yeh she is tight

Na mate, all good. Footrest is legit right, such a good size and matches pedals nicely. It's from RHD Japan but can't seem to find it on their site now?

Brand is Okuyama or Dash (think they are same thing...?). All going good so far thanks again

Been waiting a long time for some of these bits, finally :thumbsup:

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
