And now that all of the suspension components have been changed to fully adjustable gear, it was time to upgrade the brakes! So final pic with standard Brembos on it. Then we started to

Nice badge. I still haven't put on my new set of KLO GTR badge and Nissan boot badge.

Have you got a pic with the ganadors on?

I'm still buffing/polishing the Ganadors, so I should have them on this weekend if all goes well.

I can't believe the price of those weatherstrips...the 32 is becoming the equivalent of an old school aussie muscle car in terms of parts & price

In Japan they are going for $1k per side.

Awesome! I managed to pick up some as well in CF last week.

What boss kit is that?

And what rims are you thinking? Omori LMGT4's? haha

Cheers bud! Can't go wrong with Ganadors lol

Works Bell boss kit...

Too many people have LMGT4's but I need something that will fit R35 Brembos

Haven't updated in a while so here's a few more additions to the inventory that have occurred in the past month..

I had the front half of my car wrapped with clear stone guard protection from Ozicozi.. No point taking photos as you can't tell it's on the car!! But it's an amazing job and will serve it's purpose on the road/track and save me from repainting panels in the future.

SARD Fuel rail

Also picked up an R33 GTR Powersteering pump for when I get the hicas removed, no photo for this.

SPOON Rigid Collars for the rear, 
I had these fitted in recent days (did not get an alignment, this will be done when all the new arms are fitted) and I can say I'm extremely happy with the result.. A few problems have been fixed by fitting these including backlash from the rear subframe. 
I will be getting the front set in the near future to have everything 110% straight.

Ikeya Formula Front Camber Arms -10mm version which I believe will allow about 3 degrees negative camber..

20170125_170423.jpg


And finally, I have been looking for this for the past couple of years and never found one for sale.. So when this popped up on yahoo japan I had to have it without question..

Nice one, did these fix your issue with the wheels poking out 3-4mm to the left?

They have helped move it back about 2-3mm to the middle now but I just need to get a wheel alignment for it to be 100%

Mate, that freshen up of your front and rear seats looks great.

Do you know what was done to achieve it or who did it in Japan?....looks like they were dyed to bring back factory colour?

Hey Will,


It was done while the car was still in Japan by Garage Yoshida.. 
I'm not sure on the exact process, I think it is a dye of some kind but the seats feel completely normal and there is no sign of the colour fading. All in all, i'm extremely happy that I had it done!

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
