GTRawrr 32 Build Log

[GTRawrr]

UPDATE!!

Been working at Stella1 for the underbody! Damn she's rusty!
Her helping burn bushings.

Grinding down the rust of the body /:



I started to POR15 it then realized that the epoxy holding the frame together isn't that strong. Got some help from a fellow friend and we stitch welded the overlaps! Hahah have to regrind them and repaint it all.

UPDATE!!

I had lots of time to make money so I went out to buy these driftworks arms and solid bushings!
Front upper control arms
Front tension rods
Rear traction rods
Rear lower control arms
Rear upper control arms
HICAS lockout bar
Solid diff bushings
Solid subframe bushings.


I really wanted a better colour scheme. Though no one would see these, I got them powder coated!


Also started to tear down the engine and this is where I am now



My friend crashed the service shuttle at work this week. No worries, hes unharmed!

Some random pictures for enjoyment


Couldn't fit a king size bed frame inside the car. Ontop it goes!

[OwenJanssen]

where did you get the paint job done in calgary?

I now realize i need to roof rack my 4door for winter :/

[Supraclean]

Very interesting build.

Cool color scheme. I'm sad that you went with a boring grey with your underside... I powder coated front and rear purple along with an orange diff and crossmembers.


Definately some mixed feelings.
You have uber tire stretch on a daily driver (to all their own on looks I guess)... you need to fix your ugly negative camber lol hows that even functional (especially when you have a roof rack and sky box meaning the car is being used as a functional thing)

[GTRawrr]

I painted the car myself at a local rented booth shop. I did actually fix the camber haha. It's just at -3 now front and rear. This year will be the third year I will be winter driving it haha

[MattiasJacobs]

**** man. I love how your girl helps you build this stuff. Can i pay you to send my next girlfriend down to spend a week in training with yours!?

[NismoS-tune]

a real woman (the type you marry) doesn't play with toys, she raises kids with you and makes a good life.

[Kaiju]

Oh and for a yellow Gtr... I actually saw one for sale currently in Alberta... It looks so good but it made my decision easier as to what to paint as this has already been done in a local area

Here are some pics

Wow.. really weird.. I thought I had the only yellow GTR (maybe even skyline) in Canada.



Awesome build thread man, just read through the entire thing. What are your wheel specs on Stella2? I'd like to have similar fitment and love the 2.2.1's

[GTRawrr]

UPDATE

Just a small update. Working 16 hour days 6 days a week but i got sick for a day so I decided to tear the engine apart and ship for machining for a 2.8L bore!

[Modb]

Looking forward to see what this years going to bring from you build thread haha

I love your cars. From the first time i saw Stella2 all over the internet i was hooked. Your wheel choice is what i'm going for next with mine. Also i don't know if i missed it but all 3 GTR's are yours? If so where's the 3rd one gone? And i spoke to Mr Nguyen on FB a lil while back with the matte army kinda green one (also with the Fujimara flap) and he said yall are friends. He too has two GTRs and the S13 (ya'll quite happy) but i just had to pay my respects to you and him.
