Looks amazing. Keep a good layer of your preferred sealant on it, boy do reds love to fade lol 

definitely going to protect is as much as I can lol.  Gettin the main dash painted to match and then bolting up all the carbon fiber pieces.

You're painting the dash? Which parts? 

basically the whole main dash itself.  i have a carbon fiber glove box, carbon fiber radio bezel down through the entire center console, the steering surround, and the gauge cluster surround.  I also have a sheet metal rear seat delete and sheet metal door cards that I am going to have hydro dipped carbon fiber to match as close as I can.

so what colour are you poainting the dash itself? 

red to match the car.  I just got a truck from someone that has a paint matched dash and I love it so I am going to do the same to the skyline.  only way to really "modernize" the dash so the interior doesnt look so dated.

Well, it's not my style, but it's your car and you've got to love it.

If re-sale matters to you, I would strongly suggest not doing that particular mod, but if that's not a concern, go wild and enjoy it :D

I will be buried in this thing at this point.  There is way too much money wrapped up in it to ever bother selling it.  When I say ground up, I mean ground up.  There's not many parts or pieces that havent been upgraded or replaced with new oem parts.  It will basically be a brand new car that I plan on driving every damn day! haha

Bold move! Need to see how it ends up

follow the build.  now that it will be back at my house tomorrow, I get to really start digging into it and putting it all back together!

Will do! I'm two steps behind you but probably close to 45k AUD deep into my rebuild... Always a comfort to see someone else go all out too ?

Im almost 75k USD into mine so far but Im about all in. Not much left to buy at this point.  Its all piled up in my basement ready to go.

Best type of insanity! My worst fear at the moment is that my car will get too good, that the driving will feel dull since I can't use its potential. 

Oh well, back to topic, this is your thread after all! You went with a trigger kit, s13 subframe and newer color. Got any other modification to share with the rest of us? Found the thing that will make it truly your car? (maybe the dash?)

Better than drugs right?!  I also went drive by wire with a 350z pedal and a ctsv throttle body.  Going full air suspension and all gktech adjustable arms.  Shaved door handles and trunk lock.  Trying to go neo power steering pump to get rid of the dual stage pump, hopefully I can get that to work.  Engine was rebuilt.  New gaskets, rings, and seals.  Poncams and adjustable pulleys.  Cant think of anything else thats too crazy lol.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
