Thanks everyone, looking back at what I had planned I am really really happy with how it turned out, credit to Planned Signs at Minto who took this project as seriously as I did and make sure it was perfect. Looking at photos of the original car and models I think it's about as close I could get it to the original and I'm stoked

You coming trackday next month??

Doesn't look like it. Need some work done on the diff and gearbox. This is only the beginning :yes:

Was a nice car....now a very COOL car. Love the final touches...copies of period race cars often run the risk of being try hard BS shitboxes. Your's looks tough!

I know exactly what you mean. Most of the other replicas of his car I've seen looked like shit. A little attention to detail and a lot of assistance from some helpful people (especially from SAU) goes a long way!

Thanks again everyone who commented and pitched in with photos and logos and stuff. You guys are alright ;)

Hey guys, after a set of rear bumper lights like these:

post-21158-1283689789.jpg

anyone got some spares laying about?

I'm currently contacting places trying to find a brand new set. will let you know if i have any luck.

Just got the car back from Award. Had the gearbox reco'd and replaced all the synchros, modded the transfer case and shimmed the rear diff with Nismo plates.

Diff feels super aggressive and awesome just putting it on the trailer, should make a big difference. Here she is hanging out the front of Award. These guys have done a really great job at an awesome price. Terry knows about GTR diffs and gearboxes, I wouldn't take it anywhere else.

Was at Trackday Club on the weekend and had a shocker. Missed the first two sessions f**king around with the catch can, went out and bent the HICAS lock bar, said f**k it and went out again lost boost pressure so we packed up and went home. Also couldn't get the motherf**king shift-i to work. Not a good day.

At least the car looks good

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
