Venom 100 cell Cat with 5' body with 3' flange because..................well because the car will benefit from it and I will reveal more in due course

thats it for now folks but stay tuned for more updates very soon :)

the passion

the thing I like about your resto/build is not settling. There is always something that needs fixing or bettering

if your like me you stand in front of your 32 and think that's not quite right I'll fix it. Or it would be better with .....

Sometimes just the little imperfections like the rear wing replacement rubber and rust proofing. I've done that but I'm sure a lot just let it go

the passion to make it the best you can and improving things over time (money and time permitting)

then going back over and making it even better still. Even with Robbies build (an ultimate one) he's still making it better

it never really ends and that's a good thing.

The things may get smaller and sometimes cheaper but even keeping it maintained is never ending

I don't ever think I'll park mine and think - That's it ! ..........I'm certain most with the passion would agree

To ever sell would be the worst due to the investment on all levels.

Kids leave (and sometimes a wife) but the GTR......NEVER........lulz

spot on mate.

Thats me in nutshell and the passion I have for this car is really more like a love affair (ha! so gonna say this to my beautiful wife now lol)

I'm very much a perfectionist and although I have an eye for detail I never intended to make my car just a show pony.

I always wanted to build the car with track work in mind but to also retain its drive ability but also have some looks to go with it

Building the GTR has always been a dream for me and to finally have the opportunity to realise this has been amazing

What is equally satisfying is sharing it with other enthusiasts like you and so many others

I have learned a lot already and keen to learn even more.

As research and technology improves I think there will always be something improve or to do with such cars.

As long as I have the spark and passion for this I will continue this project for as long a possible

Well said S!n. So true.

Good choice on the suspension Ants :D Cant wait to see whats next.

Oh Ants just a heads up. I have the same POD filters as you and you can get the filter element in blue. Makes it look heaps better. I think i got mine from nengun.

sweet. I've been looking for replacement ones too

Will take a look see

Nice job Ants. This build just keeps getting better :)

I noticed that you've got the Tomei Ti sustem on your car. How do you rate it? Do you think it's too loud? I was thinking of getting one for my car but I didn't want something that is too noisey.

Cheers

thanks mate.

The tomei Ti is sweet and yes its certainly louder than my old mandrel bent 3'in system but I like the noise.

It can be however, very drony after a long drive around the mountains lol

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
