Rears are almost done. I gotta hand it to my panel beater he has done an awesome job!! Exactly what I wanted actually it's even better than I expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone needed body work. Offtap customs in dandy. Can't wait till its fully painted and then the will be off to topstage composites where I will be getting the V3 rear wing and V3 front lip. Front and rear diffusers will be coming soon.

Update on what will be happening in the coming weeks. Car is booked in at topstage composites next week to get V3 rear wing and front lip. Still searching for a r33 front bar to fit the lip to atm. Then car will be off to havoc fabrication again to get some door cards made up and a few other little jobs done as well. My aim atm is to have the car ready for January 30th sandown event.

Awesome.

Very tidy result, a credit to you and the guys doing the work.

Time to get this thing prepped for track

Thanks dale. I'm defiantly happy with how all the body has turned out. I can't wait to see what it looks like after topstage Compisites finishes with it.

Car looks excellent mate.

Geez I hope you have that front bar mounted solidly, that's one big bitch front splitter thats going to make mince meat of factory mounts.

Is the bar factory or fibreglass?.

Love ya work

Cheers

Neil.

Thanks Neil. It is a factory GTR bar mounted with the GTR reo bar as well. As for mounts Freddy is going to make me up some mounts to hold the splitter when I take it back there to get the front diffuser installed.

Wow. Awesome stuff, consistent with the quality of workmanship to date. Well done.

Just don't run off - that thing is just made for plowing.

Cheers mate. The whole car has to be raised around 45mm to allow for all this extra downforce. Otherwise I will end up dragging my nice new front splitter along the ground.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
