Hi,
Just started a new R32 GTR Dedicated Rally Car build...
After putting Kermit into a concrete barrier in the rain last July, I am slowly getting the parts together to build another one..
Previous car straight after the "incident" with the wall at around 160 kph plus..

Then sourced the ex Brighty R32 GTR to use as the new donor shell c/w cage from Brad

Gave the shell a clean up-removed old stickers etc and then put on my trailer ready for Marc and Josh at C-Red to make it roll.. ready for Phil at AFM to ensure the chassis is straight-seam welding and panel and painting etc

Also purchased a Jun carbon fibre lip, CF wing and CF font grill as well as another set of original front guards/original bonnet and a new front radiator mount from Northside Nissan.

Once the car comes back from Phil at AFM ( panel and painted in the retro red white and blue Richards/Skaife livery)I will update with the mechanical details.

cheers

Interested to see how those door trims go. I have had my eye on them for quite a while but as you say, worried about them fouling on the side intrusion.

All looking great!

Hey,

Yeah, I have been looking at the Bee R door trims for a while and then one night after a few bourbs...I needed to have them....

I have attached a few shots I took this morning to give you an idea of what you get..( the doors are still off the new race car so I cant try them in situ yet...another week or so and i will find out)

The fit will clearly depend on the measurement between the intrusion bars and the actual body(ie: how wide the the tab is that is welded to the cage) if you follow me..

Drivers side and passenger side trims are around 50mm "thk"

Drivers side then slims down to around 30mm "thk"

Passenger side stays at around 50mm thk

Drivers side is about 30mm thk up in the top left corner, then blends up to 50mm thk as you get close to the door handle.

Note that both trims are 50mm at the top where they hook over the door....

Passenger is 30mm thk at top right corner then steps up another 20mm ( which makes it a pretty contant 50mm thk)

I wondered what happened to that car. Good to see it'll be revived.

You doing much racing these days? In a new car?

Hey,

Its a no go to start with.....pretty expensive to just put them on a streeter etc so I am just about to "try" a couple of things with some mild heat and try to shape them in a couple of places....the drivers side just "touches" the cross bars so a smidge of heat just might do the trick ......but the passenger side( which has different shape-profile) might be a litlle trickier to re shape.....

I will let you know in the necxt couple of weeks.....

cheers

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.

      Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Hey all. Had a bit of a scare today with my R34 GTT when i flicked on the tail/parker lights, and  some wiring started going up in smoke under the dash. The fuse didnt blow, it just melted the casing of the fuse so must have been a crap fuse? Previous owner did alot of wiring, some of which is quite sub par and the fuse that melted was definitely newer than the other ones that were in the fuse box, but didnt seem that he touched the wires that mainly got melted. Anyway may need a small section of a new loom, is there lots of similarities between the turbo and non turbo looms especially for under the dash stuff? The wired that got friend go into a 6 pin relay under the dash. The non turbo ones are less than half the price here from a wrecker and all i would need it the section that got fried and any other wires that are affected.  Thanks in advance
