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

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
