So thats it at the minute plan now is get the car up to gem sinnot today or tomoro and try figure out why the car is over fueling so much so i can get it through the test then hopefully order the wheels and get the new bumper and skirts for it and go from there
Small update finally got a gew body work bits vertex front bumper wit small crack,vertex sideskirts badly repaired and some gtst side skirts and spats in fairly good nick
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5cbf1708.jpg
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps38ba820a.jpg
Cant decide which side skirts to use all opinions welcome 👍
gonna look forward to the new paint now, whats the plan with her anyway, will she stay on the road or be on the track?
suspension looks way better so far as well, like the garage ha
Plans are for it to be on the road and maybe do the odd drift day and ye cant wait to paint it still lookin through paint codes and waitin for the weather to get better sound ye garage is abit on the big sideQuote:

http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psfad75dd6.jpg

http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psa9402fc0.jpg
So got some rust remady and sealed up the arches then cleaned and shulzed under the arches
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psee2a17bb.jpg
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps68f87ed8.jpg
So then i went about making my own arch extensions to realise later on that it didnt work

Wow fair play to ya for doing all the work! Skyline looks sweet !!! <3 by the way is this BN kit?
Looks very well,even in the primer fair play,some work, respect.I love R32's nd great to see1 being looked after right. But since she is goin for paint would ya not think of blending the bonnet vent a bit.No disrespect intended unless tis the look ya wanted
Theres another peace to add yet it will all make sense soon enuff thanks for the commentsQuote:

http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psvkntwrwt.jpg
So tried on the new wheels still waitin on the other 2 wheels
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psllmhekwa.jpg
Picked up a cheapo nardi to tie me over for a few weeks
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psmx0ijzg8.jpg
Got tires ended up goin 235/45/17 but i reckon you will get 225/40/17 on not a bother
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psoz2cq3bb.jpg
Offered up the fenders goin to need some space
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psb0ao6jwz.jpg
So made some space
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4zms3sag.jpg
And seaked confidence in one of the lads that is a fabricator im not the best of a welder so
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pstg9y3vvv.jpg
So just waiting on front wheels the will begin the strip down to get ready for paint
Ok so havent updated this in ages things have not been going so well
Got it painted
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pstwui5x0e.jpg
Wasnt happy with the finish so started again
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psoyrcpiob.jpg
So already to go again
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psvuff0khw.jpg
So this time came out abit better not perfect but sure it was painted in a shed wit no door
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0wt3x1gg.jpg
So put it all back together and i questioned weather i went the right route with bolt on arches but later started to like them
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4vttq59t.jpg
Quick pic of it all together without all the wheels
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4fqi2uzy.jpg
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pst5feocwh.jpg
So wheels arrived thanks to the lads in jdm distro and automatically started masking them up for dave to do abit of airbrushing http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pswmtrgzzb.jpg
So finished result have to say dave is some man with that airbrush the spokes are done so well it looks like factory paint
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psjri3itnt.jpg
So of course things were going to well
I then went about fitting the wheels and well they dont fit having some clearence issues with the skirts and wings and also the coilovers
So this left me with a big problem so me being me 2 steps forward 1 step back i made an order from driftworks for front japspeed offset tension rods to try pull the wheels forward in the arch spacers all round driftworks rear toe rods and a solid steering colume bush nothing wrong with old rubber one but iv heard these make a nice difference to the steering so thats it for now just wainting on parts now will update soon
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pszamqalgw.jpg
Having alot of clearence issues with the front wheels first i put the 17s on and the wheels were rubbing the side skirt / wing when turning so i bought tension rods to pull the wheels forward and now there is a small bit of room at the back and is very tight to the bumper and the wheels havent been spaced yet if anyone has any ideas it would be great thanks
Wasnt goin to bother updating this mostly because no one seams to care but i enjoy reading a good build thread and there is a big shortage of updates lately even had to look over into driftworks for a read anyway ill let the pictures talk

http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psaldntd2p.jpg
Fitted a hydro had terrible trouble trying to get one that i wanted but in the end settled for driftworks one with the knuckle duster handle which i must say is a nice piece of kit
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...pszfocwtur.jpg
Tryed making it as neat as possible
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psdciiffwf.jpg
And thats it for now well the styling side of things anyway still trying to get the roof spoiler but am still gettin the "ye i have one ill ring ya back in 5 mins just goin to check " and well ye no phone call that was about a month ago now these lads must not like making money or maybe i smell or something anyway with the car the way i want it now its time to make it go the way i wanted
http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/...psnaskeu5c.jpg
Its nothing special just an rb20det but im building this one myself sent the whole lot down to loftus farrell to be machined and am just waiting on parts from america now

Car looks well, not gone on the wheels to be honest but to each their own!
Sound man its a long time cominQuote:

Ahh stop man having to resort in buying in england and the dreaded pound because everyone in ireland just keeps letting me down 3 seprate so called motorsport shops and part importers let me down with everything id be a definite buy local kind of person but i cant deal with incompitance the only irish shop any good and kept in touch about delivery and everything was jdm distro its very frustrating tbh ye im kinda thinkin of changin the wheels or at least the colourQuote:

Ye would love to slam it but the coilovers are recked in it new coilovers are on the list belive me as for tyres i take wat i can get im goin through them like there goin out of fashion just goin for part worns and theres not to many 235 35 17s goin so had to settle for 235 45 17s if anyone knows of any good places to get tires please let me know thanks for the coments nice to know peoples opinionsQuote:
