How's the hunt on a shell going ?

came to Dead halt

Considering just fixing mine ftm

For the price that R32 GTR shells go for I could by an entire road worthy R33 GTR.

Insane prices

Plus car is currently with tuna

Getting a few little things done

Hopefully can reveal that this week

You can pick up a 33R for 6k!?

probably referring to getting a 32R shell then paying the $ to get it up to scratch etc, would cost the same as getting a 33R?

I'm going to weigh in my 2c here. Regardless of subjective aspects like looks, the 33 is a better car. Wouldn't be a bad move if someone was so inclined.

Fix the chassis, Ants! :)

no. but can pick one up for $15k

Good condition R32 shells I've seen are commanding $9k+ - ridiculous plus thats an 89 model :blink:

yeah mate, I do like the 33 but they are big bulky SOB's

I've worked out that my car is a perfect test bed for body repairs that I will undertake myself.

If I f**k it put well at least I will have learned something plus I can just transfer into something else like an R33 roller for example (although not my first choice)

I really do need to drive to yours and show you why 33's are better than 32.

:P

well then.....I shall await to be graced with your presence and that whale thing you call a GTR :P

Nice thread, read it in its entirety over the past week :w00t:

Definitely fix your shell. Fix shell, acquire dem mad bodywork skillz, acquire bishes :ph34r:
Seriously, given the amount of effort you've put into all the little things, surely it's worth the big effort to stick with what you've got :miner:
Looking forward to updates :yes:

thanks dude. am in two minds right now. Sell it and start new project or keep it and fix it

Strip it down and put it on a rotisserie and fix her up properly

yeah, thats an idea too. but will take an epic long time

Ants liked my post, this must mean he is keeping it. :)

Well, he have to keep it to stop vultures like me circling it for sweet fruit this thing have!

Buying your gtr isn't off the cards for le Ants.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
