I tried to order my TE37's in 9" + 0, but they are NLA :(

They will look the goods.

Can't custom order from Rays?

They came in Mag Blue when I got the car. Was thinking I should have kept it the same colour or gone red. Seeing as they will be used on track only.

Congratulations on the little one! :)

Build looks to be going well! How good is the AC in these older cars? The reason i ask is my R32's AC isn't working and I'm tossing up weather to try and fix it but I'm not sure the cost will really be worth it as it hasn't worked for me and the past owner said it didn't work for the 2 years he had it.. I guess i'm used to driving without it and it never really and if it's not fantastic i might skip out on it that's all

Cheers!

Thanks mate :)

The AC design is fine in 32's. Mostly the age/lack of maintenance that catches ppl out.

If your compressor is fine then it should be easy to get it fixed up.

Racepace did ask if I wanted to remove it all during my rebuild. It's not a dedicated track car that gets trailered everywhere so no way was I going to take it out. For a street car - keep it in, I dunno what country some ppl live in, taking Aircon out of their street machines :)

There's nothing overly complicated about the Aircon Sys mate. It's just a Nissan at the end of the day and that's good news for us :)

Congrats man, i got pit crew #1 due in June.

Our GTR funds are dropping.

That makes me a sad panda.

That's awesome news, mate. Tell me about it, I've had to delay buying the Nismo diffs etc. Life is real hard for us, oh the struggles ;)

Thanks :) - yeah it's probably a good idea, I've forgotten about the luxury lol. I will probably finish off my engine swap and get a quote for it, all these stinking hot days are making me have second thoughts!

It's all in the details.

New Door handles put in. Before and after.

The new supervisor for Health & Safety kept a watchful eye on me.

Finally after she took her unionised break it was time to mask up some minor trim parts and gave them a quick lick of paint.

Gloss black for lower door window trim & satin black for the wipers (masked off & blades removed so only the arms were painted)

Now, back to the Bathurst 12 hour!

Well this is embarrassing.......

No sooner had I put on those Nismo replica rear pods that I've bought a set of genuine ones. They cost mega $ but hard to pass up as they're rare as all hell - couldn't say no!

Would love more pics of the trim you painted, Was considering doing mine so would love to see how it turns out if you wouldn't mind?

Will do later tonight. You have to give them a light sand and primer first to make sure you get a nice even finish as they're a bit rubbery.

I hear you. but actually I painted them out of laziness. To replace them you will need to remove the side mirrors, and I wasn't in the mood to go about doing that just yet :)

Shivam man. Y u know unbolt them wipers off????

Paint those parts outside away from the car otherwise the risk of paint spatter from the spray paint is almost inevitable.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
