I believe there was talks of billet CVs by Driveshaft Shop too lol.

It’s insurance for the engine and gearbox 🤷‍♂️

That what the haltech gauge and engine protection is for, let’s be real you have have the fanciest dash in the world but it’s not going to help at 8,500 when youre pulling the next gear.

Only thing I’ll be looking for is the shift lights

So what is the gauge on the A pillar going to tell you? Boost?

[Duncan]

meh, I've got the generic/link version in the stagea, and it is good to be able to see what is happening without a laptop all the time. Still a bit limited, but better than nothin

almost as good as a PowerFC controller from the 90s, without the tuning ability.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Let's be honest PowerFC hand controller is useless, no oil pressure, no oil temp, no AFR, no exhaust pressure, etc.

Shows water temp, battery voltage, AFM voltage, etc. Lol.

The main thing I want it to tell me is the oil temperature, I’ve got few pages in it to see other things as well

I decided to replace all the door trims and rubbers here’s a few comparisons of new vs old 

and all of the old bit in a pile 

Sometimes you don’t realize how stuffed parts really are until you replace them

[r32-25t]

interior is now complete and cleaned

first time in 2 and a half years I’ve been able to sit in it 

[MBS206]

Where did you buy all the rubbers for around the doors etc?

[r32-25t]

Vega auto sports and kudos motor sports, each one were cheaper on different rubbers and I went that way

You'll struggle to find them for the R33 shit box.

I bought the last RHS one from them, after only being able to get the LHS off Amayama.

Those pesky Muuurricannnsss have cleaned up the spares.

[Old man 32 GTR]

EFI Solutions also stocks them

[r32-25t]

wiring is finished 

At the same time the bay got painted I got the purple set of covers stripped and then painted in r33 midnight purple, the photo doesn’t really do it justice

I didn’t like all one colour look and took the pant off the letters with some wet and dry. Also you can spy the GTRs new home in the background

Car is looking mint, at this rate you’ll be finished way before me, so you’ll have to take me for a run in it, I can’t remember what a working GTR is like? Lol

I was hoping to have it ready for the Bathurst cruise but I think just that went out the window. I’ll do a bit if an update when I can

Wait, there are people that own GT-R's that work?  Not a concept i was aware of..... 

[r32-25t]

One old and one new cover just to see the difference 

More brand new timing cover bolts 

and all the covers on just to see how it looks complete 

i didn’t get photos but after this I fitted the radiator hoses and cooler pipe and then preceded to fill it with coolant 

guess I have an issue 😡

[robbo_rb180]

Hopefully it's just a loose coolant line fitting that needs tightening or some sealant on an adapter.
