My GOD man what's your oilpan looking like?

You know what this picture looks like? Rape. Running mascara and all.

Gotta give it to you though, you are one mellow dude. That "rock to the windshield and hood" bit made me rage. Keep on truckin'.

PS: Nice of you to make me feel better for riding and liking fattie tires.

[GTRawrr]

hahah thanks, I try and keep the right attitude! Add being side swiped by the amberlance hahaha

[GTRawrr]

The oil pan, tranny and every part except the exhaust is cradled by the sub frame! which is nice, but the subframe is pretty scraped now!

[GODSPEED]

sums up your attitute pretty well lol

not saying anything wrong with that

drive a proper car n this will never happen

[GTRawrr]

Been pretty cold this past week and busy with work due to all the Christmas stuff going on but I got some free time today so I decided to clean my garage and start stripping the interior so I can chisel out all the sound deadening an prepare for paint. Got most of the interior out.





Thank you unobtanium welding for making this turbo elbow. You do an awesome job!

[GTRawrr]

Got my dry ice today and finished the passenger side all done. Hopefully finish the drivers and trunk!

[Micho]

This might be off topic but where did you happen to get your dry ice in Calgary?
Been looking for some to strip out my sound deadening in my RX7...

Thanks!

[GTRawrr]

I got it at praxair on blackfoot. google praxair. $16.00 for 5 pounds. If you work fast then it'll cost you about 10 dollars to do drivers and passenger side.

So what's going on with the two other GTR's? haha

[GTRawrr]

The black one is a daily and Stella 2 has some interesting things happening to her this summer hopefully and it'll surprise everyone haha. Keep updated! Haven't been able to work much on Stella 1 as school and work have been super busy but reading week is coming up and hopefully I can find some time!

UPDATE

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the build but I had some extra time to get the car apart some more. Stripping it basically to the metal because my garage holds water and humidity ):
Fuse box and harness out of the engine bay


Dash fully taken out


Steering rack apart


Front subframe out with all arms and knuckles removed. It's super dirty from the CV boots and oil! And RUST ):

Rear subframe with diff and knuckles. HICAS is not fun!


Subframe is super rusty so im going to clean it very well and grind it to the metal.


Picked up 24mm and 26mm CUSCO SWAYBARS. Needs new paint though /:


Also waiting on some new goodies to come in the mail! Hopefully they come soon! Next ill be stripping the bottom of the car free from rust and undercoat, then using POR15 on it.

[Sri-LanKING]

Dude where do you get the coin for all of this?

but seriously I like how you keep on truckin' regardless of what happens what godspeed said is right

sums up your attitute pretty well lol

Re-FUKING-locate/

[GTRawrr]

Relocating battery, and tucking the fuse box. But there is so much rust on the whole car. It's my very first GTR and I promised myself I would build this so I want to pull through with it haha. Deleting rear hicas for sure. I work 3 jobs to get the coin. I work as a tech for Nissan, a banquet server, and at the Hilton. So sometimes it's hard to find time for my car. Plus the girlfriend as well but she always wants to help take the car apart with me haha.

I had some spare time and always loved the jdm fogs so I hooked some up! Now the whole headlight system lights up!
