Got a chance to get the rest of the dash out over the last few days and started to suss out the items below

1. OEM clutch line

2. OEM slave cylinder

3. OEM clutch pedal bracket

Looking to do a decent amount of track work and had heard this bracket was prone to breaking. Having a closer look you can see it has previously been welded up due to exactly this

All the above items are being upgraded to Nismo items below:

Nismo item looks to be a lot stronger, so will hopefully love the track conditions

OEM clutch cylinder is also out ready for new OEM Nissan item to go in

It's not the biggest build, fastest , blingy ...etc....

But it looks like it's going to be thourough and complete.

Kudos to you mate.

Love to see this level of TLC being showerd on a R32 GTR

:thumbsup:

Nice build buddy. Keep up the good work.

Cheers mate. Been flat out with it but not much to show for it!

Yeah cheers Richard. Hopefully end up with a reliable, fun and clean 32R

Got started on the front end, front sub-frame is now ready to drop out and to start the strip down

Also, got started on completing removing the HICAS system (was initially just going to throw the lock bar in but decided I want the additional room in the engine bay room and why not save a bit of weight!)

Don't worry. All good things take time. I am pedantic with everything I do to my car which results in a lot of time being spent but is all worth it at the end.

Very nice! I wish i had a hoist in my garage so i could do this kind of work. So much easier with a hoist.

Nice buy with the gram lights. I was sooo close to buying them, but they wouldnt fit over my brakes and i didnt wana run spacers.

Now subscribed. Keep it up :thumbsup:

Cheers Damien. Hoist = super fun happy time ha. Yeah wheels should hopefully work with the look I am after, time will tell

Yeh spacers = junk. Not much progress of late...but will keep on keeping on!

Started getting the rear apart ready for paint prep and new rear tail/reverse lights to go in:

1. Getting rear exhaust shields out and ready to cleaned and painted

IMG_5903.JPG

My little friend, works great to loosen up the sealant around rear tail lights

IMG_5909.JPG

This is where we got up to, scraper works to get most the black gummy sealant off, then just thinners on a rag worked sweetly

Nice job man.

Ditto on rear exhaust shield.

Mine looked liked yours but I then sanded (by hand) to look like this (which took aaaaages)

If you can get it sandblasted though do it.

Keen to see more updates :thumbsup:

Nice build mate!!! I am keen to see the ruzic controller install. Can you post pics of the wiring hook ups?

Are u gonna cage it? I just completed stage one of my 32 build. I have got a few ideas for stage 2 off this thread. I will be watching how u go. Good luck.

Nice work, Robbie. Your build gives me a lot of ideas for my 32-R. You're right about changing the clutch cylinders. Mine gave out about a month ago. I had to replace them with OEM. Ironically, I'm probably going to replace them with NISMO items like you did, lol.

Just read up to date. Was sad when I realized I now have to wait for the next update :( Lol. Keen to see where this goes :)

Haha cheers Matt. Will do my best to keep them coming!

Thanks Evan. Will do mate, I may have enlist Paul to help me with install as he is the expert!

I have seen your cage and it's unreal mate. I am thinking I won't cage this one as I understand can't legally have weld in cage in QLD and this car will be street registered.

I may think about a bolt in for safety aspect but even then would need to remove rear seats etc and change rego to a 2 seater...

Just doesn't seem like the hassle as want to keep this one as clean as possible

Cheers Ruben. Good to hear mate, have spent considerable time on researching parts, mods etc so good to help it's helping you out.

Yeah hopefully everything will be fresh and ready for the track!

Great build! Eager to see whats next...

Cheers Jason. Doing my best to get photos etc up on here but really trying to car ready for paint

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
