Well just found this site, so just like 028, I better do another great old school classic ride from NZ

Well since she has been off the road for along time, Ill do a progressive time line of when i first got her..

First lot, Parked up to my mates old r32 detonation king!






After being lowered about 2 years later, With other goodies.







This was after being painted. About a year ago. Maybe a lot more.










Moding the factory intake manifold. Shaved and smoothed out. Ported with a 60mm throttle body.
270cc vg30et injectors. Does make it look a lot cleaner




PowerAid bottle .. Dont diss it. thats 40hp there alone!


After a bit of playing around



Now here is the depressing bit. Since getting it painted and driving her for around a year she
did fail her wof on brakes and a ball joint, That pushed me to finally take her off the road. These pics are what's seen on SDU. as some of you seen, But ill shorten it a lot



The engine bay is being painted with bed liner. Its a strong fuel and fire resistant ( and rust preventer).
The great thing is, it doesn't chip So i don't need to be scared with it. It has a great knuckle tearing texture!!.

A close up of what it looks like



The rest is pretty boring, But she is now the Main project. I'm just waiting for the rust to be removed,
. Just waiting for mofo to finalize the shipping for my Body kit and other goodies .
Lets say, Flares. Kit. Wider than normal. And low. Should look a treat
Pannel work is happening yet again since i was ripped big time with the last paint job. Its not bubbling down the sides and on the roof. Pretty depressing a bit of money down the drain. But none the less. The project continues!!

After working with the engine bay, Found large amounts of rust in the lower strut towers. R30's were really common for this. Thanks to Nissan no sealing and treating the skins. (using double skinning also) Front windscreen is due to be removed to get to a lot of surface rust which will progress to more if i leave it.

Attempted to remove the rear windscreen. Pity. That FAILED big time. 95% removed and it shattered. (thanks Brent. ahah brother in law)

With that, and a huge shower of glass. Well i had to take back a fair big of rust in the lower corners.... Up around the roof line.. and down the sides. Lucky its only small pin holes, which i can access from the inner skins.

Wish i had all the rust done, its really holding me back!!!!!
got some progress. Rust is all fixed. and lookie lookie!

Finialy got to laying down the engine bay paint. + all the insides and boot.

3 coats before clear... Love the flat look.









How about some clear... Definitly make it pop!

After letting the paint set for two weeks... (had to be safe) I hit the town and started installing all the new/rebuilt gear











Got the intercooler, oil cool and radiator mounted





I cleaned up. HOLY MOTHER I HAVE ROOM!



L28 Motor fully rebuilt. Sure is purrdy



fully rebuilt head, with a mild port job. and custom rocker cover











My custom Pallnet fuel rail from the states





Been working on the outside... Fitting the flares and side skirts. Bit of work involved in the middle of joining the sideskirts where i had to lenthen them











Just put 90% of the inerior back in.. Id have more pics my my partner.. well she droped the camera in water

Where's the bowing-down emoticon when you need it!

Good effort mate, I love the R30s!

_________________

ALot more work now on the outside.. Consists of all the sideskirts been fitted and lenthend. Flares molded on. There is a bit more work involved there.

Custom front bumper is in the works also. Consists of a doluck copy r32 unit, Bottom cut off... Side skirt profiles copyed onto it also. Ive got alot of work ahead of me on that one. Due to me being lazy ill just post 100's of random pics up

holy %&$*
looking good!!!
love the bodykit!and the new paint!

Good god! This is going to be one totally bad a$$ R30!! Can't wait to see the body finished and painted. (btw, I likes how the L28ET looks in there)

Damn you've been busy.

What car were the side skirts originally for?

hehe, thanks guys. Been long progress as it is.

The side skirts are from www.slipstreamperformance.co.nz. They are C-west s15 copys..

Anyone got ideas on what i can do for the rear end ? Looks a bit empty right now.

oh hey dude


as I mentioned last night, that VL bumper looks like it might suit; rear definitely needs something nice and chunky to match the front and sides.

_________________

yeah that vl rear might, But its still holden , I think the problem we will have is trying to bring the side skirt profile right along the side...

Fantastic effort, man. Really admire your dedication. Welcome to JNC

Thank you..

A lot of time, effort,love gone into this oh and probably a drop or two of blood

+ few scars from angle grinder disk's, lenthen nail on pinky finger lol. Yeah a few drops alright

All in a days work eh

got some progress. Not much but something, All flares are now also fiberglassed onto the body, the epoxy had a little bit to much flex at the end.









Also received these a few days ago

i gotta ask..where did you get the radiator??..custom???

A couple of updates. Havnt done much anyway. Its been told cold, and long days at work. Ill get some pictures up soon.
