Right bit of an update
Loom is almost out, dashboard out all heater boxes and a/c boxes out ,steel dasboard bar,clutch,brake and acceleraters pedals out .
gonna strip the rest of the bits out of the engine bay ,drop rear subframe and strip off more of the sound proufing.
my mig welder should be here early next week so i can crack on with so fabricating work.

Question: im thinking of taking out the windscreen is it handy enough to remove and replace without breaking it or do people get windscreen companys to put it back in for ye?

Also ive a brand new set of nissan engine mounts would it be better to get stiffer nismo ones or hockey pucks or would the standard ones be good enough as there new?

ill stick pics up later

I got my windscreen removed and re fitted by professionals cost 120 in total but knowing my luck it would have cracked if I did it

Taken shape now john!

As Ste said well worth the money as I found out getting a replacement windscreen was a pain in the hole!

Removing windows is handy enough, get strip of wire and run it along the edge. I'd get someone professional to put them back in thou.. coz I don't know how to

UPDATE TIME

Ok got nearly all of the sound deadining removed and cleaned just need to get the wire wheel on the drill and clean the seams on the inside of the car ready for welding.

Bought 2 axel stands the other day and have to get 2 more

Also today got some off the suspention arms removed and hubs ,brakes and discs

And gave the car a wash before it got dark it doesnt look as bad anymore




i know these front brake calipers are off a skyline, i think when i bought the car in japan it said they were skyline gtr brakes but im not sure?


Plan for tomorrow is strip more of the front suspention ,get steering rack off ,hopefully my mig welder will arrive so i can start some welding.
i wish prodrift would give out the regulations for 2012 so i know were i stand with the cage and stuff.

those brakes look awfully like s14 ones. there no different from z32 turbo brakes except there heavier. z32 are cast aluminium and s14 ones are cast iron

Cheers for the info the spec sheet on the car wasnt correct so

Both wheel archs ready to clean up and seam weld, i wont be touching them yet until i tub them and see what the story is then

Gearbox dropped out
