you gonna get any footage of the hill climb?

steering wheel looks good.

Thanks mate.

Yes, did some research and i've downloaded Harry's Lap Timer so will use that on an iPhone 5 on manual mode with a suction cup on the windscreen (hopefully passes scrutineering). Might get a external GPS sensor for it later on to get more accurate& faster speed readings. There will be people there doing video including the Mrs so should get some good footage.

don't be silly boys..........just get your original OEM steering wheel restitched

like this Robson leather - cost approx $300

you can get it with red stitching too ;)

From personal experience, Robson Design (Singapore) charge a bit more than $300 to retrim a steering wheel, their gear boots are about that price. Don't be scared though their quality is amazing and worth every cent.

Love this car. Keep up the great work!

Thanks mate. Will do!

Had a great day @Haunted Hills Hillclimb on the weekend. A very tight, technical track.

Was interesting punting a GTR around a small,tight track. Had one big "oh shit!" moment, going down hill. Learnt a lot about how the car handles, especially under hard braking on various gradients and speeds. Will post up some in-car video I took with Harry's Lap Timer later on.

Few changes to Victorian club permits around the corner and a few other things happening as well atm. Instead of doing lots of events over the next two years in full roll-cage trim, have decided to slowly change it to a full registered road car in the next few months.

What are the changes to the club permit scheme?

Just read this from start to finish, amazing attention to detail, cars looking good mate

thanks mate :)

How'd it go with the new transfer case?

In a word - awesome. Less lag with power transfer to the front wheels, corner exit the back doesn't always want to come out all the time, and launches are of course way better. Gives a lot more confidence in general when driving the car hard. Only problem is I'm really noticing the open front diff now! Gotta see if I can get the Nismo front diff done next time it goes in to maximise the benefits of the new transfer case. Although I've been told the front drive shafts need attention as well so I'll see how I go next service.

Thanks, thats what i was after.

That really sucks, i sold my R33 and specifically looked for a 89 R32 because i was sick of paying $700+ for rego on a car that only does 2000 km a year. I was waiting until November for club rego as i wasn't aware that for 89 cars the month didn't matter........if there is any positive out of this it is that I at least i already have my full rego now, i was abit bummed that i was going to have to give up my slimline B&W plates for some fatso maroon ones though.

anyway back to your build thread, have really enjoyed it, keep it up.

You can still put it on club reg if you do it before 30th June. After that you'll need a RWC which is never that hard as long as the car is in good condition and not "heavily, heavily" modified. (PM me if you want to go this route) Either way an '89 R32 GTR costs a bomb to run and in the grand scheme of things the $600 odd saved is only a fraction of running costs per year (especially if they're driven hard).
Yeah big maroon plates do suck :)
Thanks mate, lots to come for this car yet!

Video of orientation run, second half of day from Haunted Hills. Did a faster lap than this but forgot to record. Recorded it in SD in my excitement to start the video. Running iPhone 5 build-in GPS so speed is a bit laggy.

Also - was playing it conservative after a bit of a spin earlier on in the day :unsure:

Got a GKTech air splitter to replace the older one which was looking a bit rough. These are a run-out item so they're going cheap atm. Also replaced the Nismo radiator cap which was leaking a little bit for some reason. Have to get the engine bay detailed amongst a gazilion other things on my list.

Standard steering wheel is back on. The outer leather part is an e-Bay sew-on item. There is a bit of wear on the right spoke of the wheel but on the whole it turned out pretty good and will do for the time being.

Gotta get the car ready for full road-reg. These have been sitting around for far too many years.

can you slip the GKtech air diversion plate under the top lip of the GTR grill.

if need be use the pads as you have putting it on the top. Will look a bit cleaner and the wind wont buffer it up.

slip it under before doing the 2 bolts up

looking good :thumbsup:

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
