Oh my, your killing me mate ahahahahah. Very nice. Have you been driving it much? Any dramas or is it running as smooth as it looks?

Amir

Thanks again Amir. Haven't driven her much really...but saying that I did get out on some of the local hills around here on the morning of my 30th with a mate.

It was absolute pure bliss. Having the roads to ourself on cool clear morning and being able to flex ALL of the R's muscles was poetry in motion.

The car surpassed all my expectations and more, I tried my best to build this car as the 'complete package' in terms of looks, handling, braking, drive ability and smooth reliable power and I couldn't be happier.

It really is such a pleasure to drive and the way it performs on the tight, steep, twisting roads has to be experienced to be believed.

The only issues have been the front driver side tyre scrubbing on the inner guard where it screws up to the front guard. Also, she blows a little white smoke on letting off the throttle, which I think is the ageing valve stem seals.

Oh it's also blowing a bit of oil out of the rear diff breather...? Anyone else had this happen? (it's not over full)

Nice work on the restoration mate. epic result !!!

Thanks Darren

Just went through all 31 pages, I am speechless! Congratulations on making your dream a reality mate!

Thanks heaps Tommy, cheers for taking the time to view.

Was this at WTAC? i went through the entire show and shine on Saturday and didn't see it?

Absolutely gutted mate, we couldn't end up making it at the last minute which really really hurt.

Next year mate. Maybe ill get my ass into gear and enter mine as well

Ok so 31 pages of pure awesome in 3 days :thumbsup:

I wish I had have seen this sooner but I don't spend much time in the build threads, as there have been quite a few things I could have helped you with

When I removed the 4WS from mine I found a place that sales a Allen key plug for like $12 that fits directly into the pump to block that feed, will post pic of it soon, I hind sight though I should have just removed the splinter block and run the rear pump section through a oil cooler and back to the reservoir

The helper spring on the back coilover should be put on first with the seat between the two spring sliding over the shock body so to stop side way movement under no/low wieght conditions while pushing the car hard

The hose that goes from the oil cap to the catch can effectively allows the oil mist to bypass the Hi-Octane cam cover breathers, IMO all gases should leave motor via the cam cover breathers

Please don't get me wrong I have really i joyed reading this epic build and am just trying to give constructive advise for you to consider :thumbsup:

Thanks mate. Will look into the rear coilover set up this weekend...

She's getting first oil and filter change this weekend :wub:

Also a tasty little Ti number to add...

First oil n filter change done after 2,500km, all looked good.

Given the sump extension/drain bolt style we had to chock up the passenger size wheels so she would drain properly

New Ti bonnet stay that's been sitting around for ages

Just went through all 31 pages and I'm gob smacked. Probably one of the best condition bnr32 in the world! Any chance you could get a video of it revving/driving it but?

How the fk do I post a video????????

host it somewhere, get the video link

in the reply toolbar there is a button which looks like a bluegreen square with a green line. click that and select MEDIA

paste the video link in the 2nd box.

Cheers Angelo, yeah I'd like to think so!

The problem is keeping it in this kind of condition....not easy at all.

This is the only video so far...first time at the track, QR, last week. Turn the volume LOUD!!

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
