Tim's 1992 N14 SSS Build

[No Crust Racing]

MIG, oh and it needs a gun apparently. 

A mate who welds said its "a pretty good welder". 

I was going to just do the buy a cylinder from bunnings thing.

Mig is pretty good, quiet universal and somewhat easy to use, the hardest thing is setting them up. Most guys just set them up by the sound. 

 

Yeah perfect. They don't offer the 'trade - n - go gas' at my local Bunnings, so Gasweld/Sydney tools are the go-to for me.

I hear this may be making its way to Newcastle in the next couple of weeks, is that correct?

Out of all the builds, all the hectic inshallah GT-R builds, this is still my favourite build 

[No Crust Racing]

Do people still build GT-Rs on here?!

? Hmmm. Not sure! Apparently Pulsar > GTR ??

A bit of an update for you guys. 

 

Exhaust tip has been decided. Went with the 3" straight and happy about it ?

[TimmyMA70]

Since the car has been off the road for so long, the brake rotors had began rust. So gave them some love in the bead blaster and scuffed the brake pads up (figure 8's on a sheet of 80 grit) 

 

Flushed and bled all the brakes, for good measure. 

 

It's getting alot closer to driving it now!

I've had good success scuffing pads before, same pricess pretty much. 

How far away is your tuners dyno?

Yeah it's worked quiet well, spoiler alert... the car is currently driving ?

I've been slack updating this. 

Untuned, however AFR's look excellent. Haven't given it a decent rev, obviously, however I'd be happy to cruise on the highway with it. Drives surprisingly well for a map, which isn't even 'SR20 Specific' 

The dyno is less than 100kms from me.

It's all but booked in ? only need to confirm the date with the tuner. 

[TimmyMA70]

Interior is back together on the N14 ?

[TimmyMA70]

Had to slightly modify the front cross member to allow extra clearance for the 4-1 headers. 

After that, finally drove the thing!!

 

Obviously light load, watching AFR's like a hawk. 

 

Drove it down to a mates shop where I did a wheel alignment.. for the street. For now..

[TimmyMA70]

While it was up on the hoist, I figured I'd take a few snaps of the exhaust.

[TimmyMA70]

Lastly, the engine bay is about as good as I can do. So that's it. I'll call it finished under there.

It's ready for a tune, this coming Monday and I'm pretty excited about it. ?

That is a nice exhaust, along with the rest of the car

Thank you very much! The outside of the car definitely isn't the best. However that's never been my strong suit either. 

 

I'm planning to have a small amount of paint and panel done in the new year, although I'm not going all out, as the car will be used, not a trailer queen / garage ornament. 

[No Crust Racing]

Looking good. 

Slightly more rear camber? Is that a FWD thing? 

Engine bay looks mint.

Basically it helps the rear end hang on through a corner, prevent the back end over taking the front lol. 

 

Thanks man!!! 

 

Update: car is at the tuners now

 

And a Skyline for all you SAU Junkies
