So there I was, going through some old messages when I find something interesting... Someone offering to the sell this R32 with no engine in it, for $13k... 

And that was deemed expensive back then!!!

Bet there’s a lot of people who wish they could have taken that offer now 

I said it to my missus, I should have taken the offer when you gave. Even entirely untouched it would be worth so much money now!

It came up on my memories that on the 24 of April 2015 it hit 130,000kms and I went out and looked at what it has now which is exactly 134,500kms so in 8yrs it’s done 4,500kms

tank is in the boot and plumbed and the oil filter has been moved and plumbed back up. Also now has oil in the tank ready to prime the pump

That's looking good Brett!

 

You must be super close to finished (in terms of the list, not necessarily time :P )

 

Once it's all back on all fours, and running, is this going to end up like a once a month car that you take for a cruise, or you're planning to still drive it as hard as it's been built to be driven and truly enjoy it?

 

I ask as I know some of us still love these cars for what they are/were. Whereas others are now trying to turn them into old collectible cars that should be in "private museums" and barely touched for fear of the loss of the vehicle.

It's like have a hot missus you don't oots oots once in a while.

What's the point?

I'm sure Brett will give it a oots oots lol.

It’ll be a bit of both, it’ll get driven on the street occasionally to just enjoy driving it and then taken to roll racing and a few events like that to really stretch its legs

It’s not a museum piece, while being a fairly clean car it was my daily when I couldn’t afford 2 cars and it has a few stone chips and etc on it, also has 134k on the clock! No one would use a car with that many kms as a collection car lol

The Commodore crew don't share your opinion, they'll put 400k km examples on blocks :P

Just put your spare Nissan badges onto the XR6 Turbo

It’s already starting to become unreliable it doesn’t need Nissan added to it to make it worse

Ok so the reason I decided to cancel all Japan day is I was finishing off the last of the wiring and started to look at having to do the relays and fuses for the fuel pumps, thermo fans, trigger for the power steering pump and etc. after looking at the number of wires that were going into the car, I took a step back and thought nah f**k this there’s a better and much neater way to do this!! 

insert pd16 (pdm) here and the problem is solved only issue is I now need to strip the wiring harness, remove the i/o 12 box from it and fit the pd16 instead

I got very lucky and it just happened they came into stock the day after I ordered it, now while this is a set back and will mean having to redo some work, it’ll end up being better for it

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
