Small update.......

A friend / club member of mine had diagnosed an issue with the clutch cooling fan..........the clutch fan was moving within the cooling fan not from side to side but forwards and backwards.............needless to say it had to get fixed.

So I took that step today.

After much debate and swearing in three different languages I managed to remove the cooling / clutch fan without removing the radiator cooling shroud (yes it's all possible)

Been busy paint stripping the rear bumper

post-5053-13943460057865_thumb.jpg anyone know how to remove the paint from the bottom bit? It's rough like the front bumper lip so very difficult to remove cleanly.

All smoothed out with my trusty powerfile

Next will be a little sanding and then I will paint the rear panel in crystal white to make it nice and clean ;)

Are you going to do anything with the spot welds you grinder back? Wouldn't be much straight left in the welds, if there's any weld left. I can't tell exactly where it is on the car. Thought about some stainless rivets, or rewelding it completely?

nah mate, the way theses spot welds have been applied is pretty full on and there is enough of it left on the car to keep everything nice and strong.

Should I feel the need for more bracing I would spot weld the entire car but it's not necessary...........for now

thank you very much mate. It's comments like this ^ that keep me going.

There are lots of good bits indeed.

But just a little correction it's not a V-spec it's just a late 94 model GTR :)

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
