Another option is going to Pickles and finding a clapped out smashed up R33 NA auto for cheap. Strip all the interior parts, whatever else you need.

Then drop in a Barra motor, ZF8HP, 500kW dis dat stock internals.

The parts alone, from a very quick guestimation will be a huge bill, the car is a shell, and unless you are building a stripped out race car without a RB enfine, dash, interior, AC, window glass and p

That's not a bonnet, this is a bonnet..... And this is a hood....   On topic: I hope you have big pockets, old Datsun parts go for drug money, and you need lots of parts

Lol. What you listed will use up your 30g, and you still won't have a functional car.

That is a great option. I would have to get a donor car anyway. I was already deciding between rb and barra. Barra are really cheap so might go that option.

I can agree with you on that. I dont even know what the point of that was (I guess he was testing out his angle grinder haha).

Man, the time to build up a skyline from a shell was 5-8 years ago when the parts where plentiful and cheap. Anyone selling anything these days thinks it's made from gold.

5 years ago I bought a complete good condition R33 interior and boot trims minus front door cards for $50. Good luck even trying to find that stuff now.

 

Anyway, please post updates and can we get an ETA of when we will see a skid vid. Thanks.

 

Yeah as I said I will probably buy a donor car. Skid vid will happen as soon as an engine gets in car. Give it a couple months haha

No. It's been posted in this thread before. That sort of cut is what is done to prevent anyone from attempting to put a written off car back on the road. The fact of this thing coming up "clean" without an entry on a WOVR is a mystery.

Haha, that is funny. So wildly unrealistic budget expectations and time frame.

 

Dude, abort.

write down the bits you need and put a price next to it. You spent 400 on a subframe that still needs heaps  of stuff. 

 

this "build" will burn cash beyond belief.

 

 

 

anyway, weld that roof up first and show results. And rustproof it so it doesnt rust apart in a few years.

I was joking of course it will take way longer. And yeah I will weld up the roof ASAP. And yeah I will rethink the plan. 

Parts I have now are (Have only spent 600 so far + 300 for shell, and got parts off some of my friends that they just had laying around.)

-Rear Subframe

-Hood/Bonnet

-Doors

-Boot

-Tein Coilovers

-Rear Bumper

-Boot

Yeah well I can repair that. And have checked VIN + Engine number with the Department of Transport and they said it is clean (Probably should be written off but for some reason it has not been).

Not to be an ass. But if you think A) you can repair that or B) its a good idea. You are truely an idiot. 

As stated many times the cost and effort involved would be astronomical, and in the end you'll still end up with a heap of shit.

Alright I'll abandon the project. People are saying it is too much work

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
