Alright, I believe that it's finally time for me to post up a build thread. Nothing spectacular to post yet, just plans for the near future. I don't have any "before" photo's because my computer crashed about a month ago and unfortunately the only files I didn't save were the original import photos I took of my car depicting damage. I will gradually update as my part stack grows and when I take the car out of my garage.

Sounds like some good plans! Good job leaving the year off your October target for your build. :-P

Just funnin' ya. This stuff _always_ takes longer than you think it will. But seriously, why not make it a winter project. Unless the car doesn't run, drive it during the summer!

What kind of track work are you contemplating? Good pads (EBC Redstuff) and good racing fluid will make OEM brakes stand up to some pretty serious lapping. Pedal effort is quite high, but you can stand the car on its nose with well maintained OEM rotors and calipers. You'll get better feel and even less fade with big brakes, but I question whether you need them for anything less than pretty serious circuit work.

Cheers,
Dan

Make sure you have some deeeeeeep pockets or have some really great connections for parts. Good to see you have a plan of attack for your build hope it all comes together for you the way you have planned it out.

Hope it all works out

this sounds like a really good outline

hopefully the Canadian dollar bloody goes up to make parts cheaper from the US and Japan

Good luck with build, when you start we expect pictures

OOooops LOL I ment to type that Phase 2 is supposed to start in October. Must of copy and pasted that part like a lazy ass... But yea I would never waste my summer building my car. I just hope the engine can hold up to all the track days until the build.

I'm looking to track as much as I possibly can this summer, really can't wait to try my balls out at Mosport. :-D Last summer sucked as the car was a DD. This year it's pretty much weekend/track sex.

My brakes are very worn and in need of serious replacement. I want something that will last many hard laps for a medium price. Brakes, cooling, and suspension are categories that I really don't want to skimp out on this year.

And yes lets all pray to the Skyline Gods that the CDN goes up!

And one question about braking again: When doing some serious tracking with big and good brakes how much is ABS needed? Does anybody here track their car hard without a pump? I'm sure this takes more feel to not lock up under hard braking. I just hate the feel of ABS. uke: unless it saves my life in snow LOL

you car looks awesome with those rims!

the best rim refinisher is carcone's in aurora. all dealerships goto them. i had a nasty set of rims re-done by them and they came out like new. mind you, you gotta pay for quality work.
