suspension kit, intercooler, electronic boost, full exhaust, pod filter, short shifter, clutch... Good mods for everyday driving.

Don't have any photos of the engine bay yet - but it looks the same as any Skyline engine bay with intercooler pipes and a pod filter. Want to have a nice box made up for the pod filter though. The engine bay has been painted though - not the engine itself, just the engine bay.

The RB25 looks exactly the same as the RB20 once it is fitted.

Rolled guards

front bar

grille

bonnet

Headlights?

wheels

side skirts

rear pods

not to mention the respray

It looks awesome!

I asked the painter to roll the guards as the rims on the back are 9.5 inches wide, and this is how it came back to me. I am so happy with the way that he did it - heaps of effort put it for a really nice result. Looks great even when you look really close. Needless to say this was done before painting - so they are done perfectly.. The paint is based on the Subaru MY01 STi - but I think it is a little different.

I originally was looking for a nice R32 for around the 17-18 mark but never found something which really flicked my switches so I went about making my R32 the way I liked it. It really didn't cost all that much to build - have been collecting parts for the past 6 months, and then as soon as I found the engine and gearbox, I said "Here you go" to Fred at RevRite Performance.

Painter is an individual who specialising in panel beating. He organised the painting, towing, and fitted the bodykit and stripped the car himself.

The car was very tidy before it resprayed so he had a pretty good surface to start with.

Won't give out his details on here as it is a mobile number - but if you are interested in having your car resprayed, PM me and I will get you in contact with him..

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
