been on here quiet some time and never put up one of these built a car and never took photos so decided ti give it a go.....a lot of you know the car and it is clean but theres just a few bits after adding up and are starting to annoy me.....the skirts are a different color to the rest of the gold on the car and i clipped the front bumper on day so they came off to be sprayed......the wing was pushed in before and is starting to show rust so off it came too

the downpipe has been in a bad way for quiet some so off it came to get a new piece welded in and heat rapped

the exhaust manifold needed a gasket and theres also a annoying water leak from in behind the turbo so next it all came off

Nice rig dude. Not too many of them knocking around , just curious to know, are they deff GTR breaks?? Look more like normal skyline ones to me. I though all gtr skylines had brembo's.

been thinking and thinking and chatting with a few people and the 7m is coming out tomorrow clean up the engine bay and stuff pricing a full rebuild kit for the 7m and if its more expensive than a 1jz conversion the 7m will be staying out

Why don't you just drive it on and if it dies then go down the rebuild/replace route? Makes no sense in my head!

Cool, all the better I say. Pads won't be as dear as brembo's, to replace.:D

it was close to blowing pipes along the head leaking water needed a new rad and water pump and head gasket.....and was starting to get a bit rough around the edges so just decided to do it all at once......be all done in a few weeks out of the garage and onto something else

Love the look of these Soarers. I may have overlooked it but, Is the overall plan to have it a street machine or for track? (bit clean for that route though me thinks)

there was a guy in galway i knew had a 7mgte in a mk3 supra running about 700bhp! gets most of his stiff from america since there more of an american toyota engine. worth a look to get bits from there although tax is a killer

its being cleaned up with a few changes and to be running perfectly to save having to completely re build the engine in the future, wont be seeing anymore tracks thats what the datsun will be for
