My grey gtir

Gonna put a thread up. This will be about a month behind work on my r i currently have no enthusiasm for it what so ever atm. So need a bit of a jeer. Some of have seen the project elsewhere maybe a social network app. Sny way just 2 pics to how it sits atm





Poor r first things first gonna crack on with engine bay

More soon

Now that's a project lol
It's hard to stay positive when you have such projects mate!
It will come back!
What's the plan apart from a full paint job?

Im not boasting or dreaming. Ill let the project run there is alot more than meets the eye with this r.

Im very intrested in whats happening here ....any clues or specs on where this project is going ?

Stick with it mate just try to keep focused on end result

Fair selection of different colours there  
Good luck with the project fella, will be worth it in the end

The colours are either what i have made or what i have bought lol. Engine wont be getting touched till winter first job is to get a new cross member made up. Fabbed up a quick one then its going to get it bent next week then will fit cooler get some pipes made up n start mocking the front end up

It will be made in cds to meet all specs



Next im on look out for some suspension

IT'S A TRANSFORMER ! How cool!

good on ya another car being saved from the scrap pile  

hope it all goes well fella and will be interesting to see what your gonna do with her

Ive spoke to tommi about his car, all I can say is watch this space. Its going to be an animal Cant wait to see it finished

Fabricating up new front end ....im thinking a different lump or a tubby so huge it needs the space lol .

One of tje above could be a right option. All ill say is the main aim is to be the lightest r. Power/engine can com later

Also regarding soace if i can get hold of kierons old rad thats for sale on here that would fit perfect in my plans right behind the gtr cooler if not its getting slung in the boot

An excellent project

Cheers for the kind words people. This weeks jobs are

1 finish seam welding the engine bay up
2 fit my new steering rack
3 get my new crossmember taked inplace
4 get rollcage tacked in place
5 tack a bit of sheet metal in sunroof hole

Will see what actully gets done though

Did you make your own roll cage ? ..... good luck with the welding in the plate for the sunroof  .....its hard work  getting a descent  weld without distorting the panel ....seems like you know your way around a welder though 

No its custom cages jobbie. Ahh dont worry bout the roof its only temp. All will make sense in a month or so

Oh right ....ive seen some of there cages  look quite good quality work ....i saw one in a bmw as i was welding up the diff for drifting .

If your planning on a really light R could you not fill the sunroof hole with carbon fibre or plexi glass?

Maybe or i could do a proper job

Well this weeks list of jobs has gone to shit. Altho just finised my wrc stands and a jig





Just somthing i have done in my breaks and dinner tome at work. Will be finishing them off and take them to get load tested so i know they are safe

What did you use to weld them arc ?  And being abit thick what are they for lol .

looking good mate. always liked the idea of having some proper sill stands. make working on the car easier.

Wrc Sill stands so the car is easy to work on espes underneath.

looking forward to seeing the tubes welded to the sills. will you still run sideskirts?
