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.

Probably should have in retrospect. The lower arms themselves however have perfect paint so didn't need to get done anyway.

Made sure there was plenty of margain for error. Managed to get it done without any splatter. It was only a small area that needed re-spray,

I felt like playing it risky. It payed off. Won't be doing any more work like this on the car :)

It's all good man at least you update your build thread.

Ohsnap

Give him some space man, he's considering re-shelling. Man's going through hard drives. Needs love & support.

Pics of the trim below. Hard to take pics of it. Bit of dust has settle but you get the idea.

A bit of precursor to finally giving the engine bay a bit of attention. Nice shiny new Racepace motor is being let down by tired, scratched paint.

So the radiator cap saga. Original Nismo radiator cap was starting to weep a tiny bit. Replaced with GKTech one. GKTech one loses it's sticker and starts to look crap.

Check it out - Billet Radiator Cap "Cover"

Surprised myself. It looks the goods.

Strut brace bar was looking a bit shabby too with some scratches.

Now in satin black.

Prep of engine bay will hopefully start this weekend.

TE37's ("Touring Evolution"). Loved them ever since I laid eyes on them.

Wheels changed over ready for the SAU Vic Motorkhana on the 28th. Happy I didn't sell the 17" 's. Can never have too many sets of these.

What I lack in imagination with my wheel choice I will make up for in quantity. Another set in 10" wide classic bronze maybe?

A great article on Speedhunters on TE37's.

Just finished reading through this mate. Great build.

I love that you're paying attention to the little things and doing a lot of it yourself. Much better than the builds that people just pay for.

Thanks mate :)

Went to Import Monster last weekend.

A dangerous place for the wallet to be.

Picked up some sticky AD08R's for track events. Can't wait to try them out.

Will be needing some downforce this year. Time to put the standard boot lid + spoiler painted.

how did it go on? im looking at getting one as well.

3M double sided tape. I tried yanking it off and the bonnet starts to bend & give way first so it'll definitely stay on with just quality tape.

There are also screws holes in the back but I didn't bother drilling holes into my bonnet.

My motorsport calendar for the year is about to start.

Decal time!

Some subtle.

Some not so subtle. This one called for a mate to come help out.

All ready to go for the SAU Motorkhana to begin with. Just gotta attach the pesky front tow strap.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
