Old man 32 GTR Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share Posted June 14, 2023 Well, sub frames are going in, everything is looking mint. 4wd pump was cleaned, every bracket/bolt/nut was either replaced or coated.

Shoota_77 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Looks absolutely amazing! Love seeing GT-R's go from old to new again! They'll take 25 years longer to look old the second time around as we're all too scared to drive them much if at all! Look forward to seeing the completely finished car!

Old man 32 GTR Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 Slowly coming along, car is home so working on the interior. Most of it is out, Bought a set of seats and dropped off all the dash parts and door cards to the trimmer. and some new electronics. OCD is sending me broke, getting things coated that really don’t need to be, if someone ever pulls this car apart again they won’t won’t what the hell happened to it! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471263-gtr-i-just-got-one/page/15/#findComment-7982005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way they look new again! Cerakote is the coating, plastics are vapour blasted, dried then the coating applied, I think it’s basically sprayed on, (I’m not 100% sure on this) the coating thickness is 30 microns. There are two types of coating, one must be backed and the other is air cure, which is what they use on plastics and anything else that can’t go in the oven. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471263-gtr-i-just-got-one/page/15/#findComment-7982023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw sweet, I didn't realise there was an air dry option Cerakote for plastics. I'm keen to have a crack at doing some Cerakote at home. From what I understand it's pretty much the same as powdercoating process except it's a liquid, not a powder.

Old man 32 GTR Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Spent the day at n the car, dismantling the interior, removed the steering rack and replaced the rubber boot, at first I thought I got the wrong part as the one on the car was solid, but then crumbled when I removed it. Was a mission to change, got my dash pad out as well as the heater core, I got a new core and boost doc fittings to replace the factory plastic ones. the dash bar looks clean but as I have an illness I’ll be taking it to be blasted and clear coated before refitting it. Will take the opportunity to try to clean up the wiring and make sure everything is hidden. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471263-gtr-i-just-got-one/page/15/#findComment-7982694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
