R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

[Unzipped Composites]

Feel like I had those titanium exhaust studs come up in a sponsored Facebook ad. They seem alright?

I got them from a company called deetuned and yeah they appear to be good quality, the nuts do up smoothly and etc

Nice mate, How long until yours goes away to be painted?

[Old man 32 GTR]

It’s at the painters now not sure when it’s going to be painted, I’m waiting for a dolly so I can get the subframe out so I can get it blasted and coated as well

I decided not to worry about the crossmember just because you don’t see it

Hows your $20k dry sump going mate?

[r32-25t]

My 10k dry sump is a long way down the list of things to do

had to get some attention on the pulling jig due one of the workshops it went to using the tow point as a jacking point and bending it. It’s perfectly straight now though 

the they started taking the paint off the engine bay, the whole thing will be going back to bare metal

No just doing the bay, i should have said the whole bay is going back to bare metal. The paint on the rest of the car is good

Hope they're faster than our guys, our white 32 has been at the body shop Alice Crash for 14 weeks now.

 

[r32-25t]

I’ve been told 2 weeks and I’ll be very surprised if it only take that long. I’m guessing minimum a month 

do you know if they’ve even started on it?

[BK]

No painter for a month apparently. Ours was having additional chassis work done though like the outer sill unstitch and replacement which is pretty major around the rear guard area. Still, Not 3 months + major though. Expecting it back Friday as we just come out of our first lockdown.

Love it.

Funny how 5 to 7 years ago these cars cost less than a Camry, fast forward to 2021 and it's Porsche money

Needs twins to be a GT-R, or be like Advan and put twins in a GTS-4, and put GT-R guards on it. GT-R with sunroof lol.
