Oh yeah.

Def nice car but this isn't really a build

Not yet, I just got the thing!

Anybody heard of Racing Gear? From Tokico?


Got some bodywork to do on the front lip and bumper, they damn near ripped it off the car loading it onto the boat :-( - another winter project.



Did the timing belt, tensioners and water pump, found a new oil pump, looks OEM. Gonna go slow for the first year, maybe try to get some Z32 MAF's and A'Pexi intake to replace the mushrooms o' death. Minor fixup stuff over the winter, probably start more serious stuff next year, I just want to enjoy it for now!

Time to start cleaning up that nasty engine bay....

Whattya know! It's white under there!

Spray Nine and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser ftw!
Also did my brakes today...AMS brake goodness from Vuk!


Sweet 2-piece fronts...also from Vuk @ AMS

And time to fix up that nasty drivers side pull/window switch panel, scratched and wrinkly and soft like solvent had been put on it, kept putting black marks on my pants...


So I pullled it out and cleaned it off and painted it satin black, Krylon plastic paint, much better!

Gonna do the shift surround and center stack as well, winter project.

Well, my GTR finally arrived a couple of weeks ago after a long and agonizing wait. It was absolutley filthy when it first arrived

But with a wash, a few clay bars and elbow grease, followed by wax, she was looking pretty good....



Time to do a bit of work on the interior, the hand brake boot and shifter were well worn...

So I installed new ones from TopGaiters in the UK - $30 shipped! Big improvement.
