UPDATE #1

This is the first update of the car. I have spend a few days removing my interior and my front end. Overall a pretty easy job so there are not much to write about it.

I am looking to keep the weight down as much as possible but still keeping the A/C and other electronic features. How can you go fast you are not driving comfortably?????:wink:

Things I am going to do for the interior:
- Stripped sound deadening
- Stripped rear seats
- Fully seam welded
- 16pt weld in cage
- Redo Dash wirings
- Redo Dashboard

Parts That I just received or collected:
- Vented CF hood
- CF trunk
- PS duce Bodykit
- Aragosta coilover
- SPL tension rod
- SPL traction rod
- SPL rear upper control arms
- SPL rear toe arms
- S13 non-hicas subframe
- K-sport Hydraulic handbrakes
- Takata 4pt long harness
- Takata Shoud pads
- Apexi EVC
- Razo Padels (yes you can stop laughing now)
- Work VS-KF 18x9.5 18x11

I am not going to take pic for everything since some of them are in the storage.

Progress Time:

Dash board gone. Most of the interior ares out already. Just havent take pics

Hood is now replace with Vented CF hood for weight.

Look What I found under the car...lol

Front end removed and sold to Joecrack.

Attempt for front bumper install...Failed. Intercooler is in the way.

As much as everyone thinks stock/Nismo GTR looks the best. I don't really give a fuxk. Body kit> stock body.

I swear I've seen a Mustang GT with that front bumper. What make is it?

**archaeic_bloke** · 10-10-2009, 09:10 AM

PS duce From Japan. I don't buy rice out body kit..

**Muss** · 10-10-2009, 03:12 PM

Charles, care to aid me in finding a body kit? That's about the style I've been looking for but I can't find a reasonably priced one anywhere.

Looking good, we share the same style. "Razo Padels" I love mine, way more grippy than stock.

And I agree, stock body is just ****. What do you "hardcore skyline enthusiasts" like more;

You'd be correct, that is just you.

**Rapier46** · 10-10-2009, 06:22 PM

Wrong, alot of people like stockish GTRs. Not riced out pieces of **** covered with plastic to make it look low.

Lol. First off, plastic? ahh okay, you've done alot of bodywork lately (thinking of FRP maybe?). Second, make it look low? They are low. Hence the thousands of dollars in suspension upgrades. Third, Bodykit just replaces what you guys (who pretend are the only "legit" owners) consider essential (N1, Nismo w/e). Third, riced out? That's just an idiotic comment. I don't know what car you are thinking about but none of that adds up.

if anyone has a rebuttal PM me so we can leave his thread be.

Charles, your car is heading for pure win.

Edit: Just to point out the flaw in your argument.

According to your standards, this is rice; http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagam...eattackno4.jpg

Damn that plastic making it look low. Stupid nub ricer kids these days.

**archaeic_bloke** · 10-10-2009, 07:11 PM

muss upon your first posting those links.. i read them and i also believed the grey ones looked better, and i was about to go off about it just like these 2 other guys did...

but i didnt.. i said, nah this is charles thread, we shouldnt flame all over it. ive watched charles projects for a while now and ive always liked what he ends up with and his ideas are usually pretty unique and well thought out, mad respect for charles.

on the other hand... to the people flaming muss... dont forget there is more to these cars than just racing... although most people choose to focus on the racing and handling aspect.. there is a genre who are into this car for a "show" style.. and i agree with muss that if the objective is to have something that looks NON ORIGINAL... then you go with a crazy body kit.

the bottom line bros... to each their own, and we should all try to see the beauty in everything... especially when someone invests so much time, effort and money then they must see something in there, so try to see what they see.

thanks for sharing your project with us charles, i cant wait to see what you do next.

UPDATE # 2

Thanks for the works guys. Everyone is entitle to their opinion but calling my car riced out pieces of **** covered with plastic to make it look low is just too much.

For the suspension component I chose, i wouldn't say its rice out pos. It is almost better than 95% of the suspension set up here.

This is my inspiration if any one is interested.

ATTKD R32 GTR time attack car. Riced out?? maybe....Functional?? HELL ******* YEA!!!!

Anyways, enough BS, more update:

I need help on removing the A/C, climate control componemnt...any advice??

Rear seat is gutted

I Just did a compression test:
155
155
162
165
155
160

Not bad for a 16year old car.

Here we go again!!! LOL

I havent install all the suspension parts yet. High like a 4x4..but it will change soon.

Something I am looking to do over the next little awhile:
- Engine removal
- subframe removal
- crossmember removal.
