bizz Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Awesome project dude keep up the good work! What suspension arms did you get and where from? I got all of arms from SPL and GT Factory. They should give me full adjustability of the front and rear so I can set it just right for drifting They should start to arrive soon so keep an eye out and I'll label them up as they arrive Bizz Nice meeting you today, Sorry i ran out of time to come find you and get you to come out with me, but maybe next time Yo dude yeah was nice to meet you, was a good day just couldn't believe the heat. Think your car was the only one that didn't over heat It looked very civilised with all the interior :-P look forward to see you ripping Norfolk up again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizz Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hey guys well it is sooo hot at the moment it is difficult to get much done in the evenings without swimming in my own sweat (grim!!) so I pulled out the ABS unit, brake servo, clutch master cylinder, windscreen wiper mechanism and the remainder of the loom Then I got the car up in the air so I can remove the rear subframe and fuel tank. Just incase there were any nasty sparks that come from the seam welding also to give me good access to the rest of the chassis. The good thing about the heat is that it doesn't stop me from receiving a few extra bits for the car ;-) This is the Custom Cage Weld-in multipoint rollcage. It's a good start for what I want to put in the car there will be a few modifications made to it before I will be completely happy. Once the seam welding is done inside this will be going straight in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddcboyle Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 What if you need the window wipers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizz Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Only took the wipers off to get them out of the way and for when the whole shell is sprayed. They'll go back on eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizz Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 latest update.... it was a long day for not much gain lol In the morning I set to taking the rear subframe out myself. I left the diff and all of the suspension on it because most of it would be going back in so the car would be left rolling Then began the balancing act... ...and it was out... Diff out to make the subframe lighter and to work out what kind of a task it will be to get the GTR diff and driveshafts into it (will worry about that another day) Next and the reason the subframe came out in the first place... the fuel tank. My mate Adam ended up getting pinned underneath it, in the tunnel recess luckily he's a skinny chap so didn't cause him too much of a problem lol Now there's tonnes of space, which will make it nice and easy to work on Bit of surface rust will need some attention but seeing as the car will be on the a trestle in about a month and the whole car is going to be painted I'm not too bothered Don't suppose any of you guys from the North East know someone that can whip out a windscreen?

Lexx Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'm sure something could be worked out. I know Ian is desperate to see your progress! For me, I just want to pick your brains over a conversion I'm just starting on my Z32. Mainly to do with who to ask for custom fabrication near us (my welding sucks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do the fab work for your car for you man when are you thinking it will need to be done? Once I've done the mounts, sump and drive shaft for mine I'll be making a kit so guys on here can purchase it. It'll be a lot cheaper than the Sikky equivalent!!

Lexx Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 That's a great offer mate. It's gonna be months before I make any real progress and get to that stage (possibly even next year). I've sourced engine mounts and a sump (though they come flat packed so need welding up). But will need help with PAS bracket and a few other bits. Gonna get AAS to do the headers, but will need to make a custom intake manifold so that the bonnet will close. The VH45 mates to the OEM manual 5 speed with a plate which I've already sourced. So the shaft and diff remain the same. Standalone ECU's on both VG30 and VH45 so easy to splice. I'll get Ian to let me know when he fancies popping over and will arrange with you.

bizz Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 O yea this sounds interesting, Ls fitting kits? Yeah man, I should be able to get the majority of it pulled together so all you'd really need would be the engine. The headers are the killer on price. I've still got to overcome that bit myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
