Ants Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Well run in has been done (so I've been told) As much as I want to go and get it tuned again I'm saving for suspension parts FTM as a car is only as good as it handles I will put some minor updates soon 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/28/#findComment-7314415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ants Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Alright it has been quite some time since I have updated this build thread I guess I have been enjoying it, hence why bugger all updates but this aint true as I have in fact done a bucket load First up........ I decided to take off the windshield water grill and see what has been lurking under there so after taking off the mandatory wiper and bonnet bolts and removing them I got this it wasn't pretty so lets get all this cleaned up 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/28/#findComment-7358061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ants Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Got my trusty garage vacuum cleaner and started sucking up all the dirt and silt lying within the under there grill even took these little suckers out for some restoration lol after a quick wipe with some warm water and soap and it already started to look a better but me not being satisfied I wanted to go one step further I removed the bolts to the wiper motors (except for the middle one so just tapped it up) and taped up everything else with plastic sheeting next step was to apply a coat of clear where the windshield grill usually sits results 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/28/#findComment-7358074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ants Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 managed to clean them plugs rather well and went straight back in their home whilst I was at it I thought I would pay some attention to the actual grill which looked rather in poor shape After a quick wash with some sugar soap and warm water it looked like this I glued the lip back with some Loctite Precision Super Glue Gel (highly recommend it for delicate applications) Then I applied some Meguiars Plastx to get it to look like this Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/28/#findComment-7358095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ants Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 back in the engine bay - I had some broken studs to take off and rethread after much swearing and broken drill bits I got the bastard out lol me and drills - thank Christ I am not a dentist Time for some rethreading this is actually rather delicate to do and you must turn slowly then reverse slowly to get the right threading technique but I managed very well thanks to Youtube lol new stud in place Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/28/#findComment-7358133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ants Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 next up the rear wing thought I would take the rear wing off to detail it........... lets just say that when I saw this I knew that there was going to need more than just wax and polish the rear wing stay brackets were fooked to say the least totally corroded and unusable Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/416016-antz-1994-r32-gtr-project-restoration/page/28/#findComment-7358169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
