Finally........ Sourced a correct new JDM style battery 390 CCA's vs 430 CCA's for ADM's with factory battery box/cover and correct positive terminal cover.

Next........ On to some body work...........

Bob.

what kind of body work Bob?

Here is the brief so far........

  • Bit of rust at the bottom of the driver's side rear qtr panel. Size of a 1c piece if any on you can remember what they look like! :wacko:;)
  • Replace driver's side rear qtr window and inspect for rust.
  • Re-do poorly repaired paintless dent also on driver's side rear qtr panel,
  • Remove, paint and re-fit driver's side skirts.
  • Remove both front and rear windscreens, fit new fasteners and moulds. (Already sourced).
  • Replace passenger side taillight. (Hairline crack, also already sourced).

this is more like restoration / repair

You should of created a restoration buil thread Bob

Not really......... It's mainly the driver's side rear QTR that needs work.

Quite common on 32's for some reason.

I'll book it in for August 18, just after the 25th Anniversary weekend.

quite common??? Most R32s are riddled with rust.

It is not until you start looking deeper that you find it.

Considering the age of the cars it is only natural that rust eventually sinks in.

Glad you are doing something about it though

ADM's don't rust, mine is clean as a whistle :)

come and see me I will find rust. Trust me I have an eye for this

Especially rear wing stay brackets and rear bumper brackets corrode like mad, even in Australia.

We are one gigantic island, with most of us living along the coastline so rust will happen just a matter of time - just need treat it before it gets to you

Tell me about it, 3 kids under 4 though means very little bandwidth

I have two 1 four yo and one who just turned 8 months - I still find time to restore and use my GTR

I had 3 under 2 and a half........ :wacko::wacko::wacko::wacko::wacko::wacko::wacko::wacko:

Boy first then twin girls......

Boy is nearly 25 and girls are 22.

I didn't have time to scratch myself.

Bob.

I know the feeling Bob.

I recently bought a ralliart magna which also pulled me away from my GTR, fun daily driver but it's a magna

lol could of been an Evo at least :P

But it gets better as they get older - it's the first 4-5 years that can be demanding

My 4 yo daughter is not only beautiful but amazing

Recently I have been taking her to club events with me and she loved it and lives being in the GTR

She also likes to help me when I work on the GTR.

The passion I have for the car is so obvious that it's becoming a passion for her and that just puts a huge smile on face

I only have girls but if they get involved with Motorsport at some stage then that will be amazing - if they don't well U don't care because they will always be my amazing little girls

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
