Thought i would start a project thread to show what im up to, car is in a few bits at the moment. Im mainlly focusing on the suspension and breaks at the moment, heres what ive got so far 5 stud and gtst m spec breaks, will be getting rotors machined soon and new pads, you can also see my new sway bar in with new nolathane bushes, sway bar is kei office, sprayed it black as i wasnt a fan of purple, also my BC Gold adjustable struts Heres a bit of a crappy pic of my rear subframe i have painted up with kei office swaybar and nolathane bushes, R200 LSD Shimmed up nice n tight, will be getting some adjustable camber and toe arms soon once i save some more $$$ Heres the car on stands not much to see, have a URAS kit for it not sure if il run it or not, got it cheap so not to worred, it needs a bit of work few cracks ect. I will be painting the body a dark olive green similer to the factory colour some laurels come with. Body is pritty strait had a donor car i got some parts of as you can see the door and boot are different colour. Havnt found any rust yet apart from top corner of front gaurd, the bolt had rusted in and when i went to unbolt the guard it desided to break so have to drill it out and re tap it, not a major though. No engine yet will be stripping al this out and tidying it up, will be running a RB25det Dash out giving all the wiring a tidy up and makes it easier to get the break booster out to swap it over with the m spec one, and put the clutch pedal in, bit of a mess at the moment but its getting there Thats pritty much all for now will try and keep this updated, hoping to have it going by around May all going to plan.
Hopefully it should be going in a couple of months depending on funds Cant wait to hit some drift days BCs cost me about $1400 NZ$
Bit of a boring update, its now sitting back down on the ground for the first time in about 4 months, got some cheap wheels of trade me, will do the job to push it around and will use them as my skid wheels for drift and drag days Also some exciting news bought a RB25det with loom and ecu so cant wait to pick that up and start putting it in
Another small update, went down to ashburton today gave the laurel a bit of a water blast, engine bay come up mint, will have to start stripping everything out and get it ready for paint before the engine goes in. Went from this To this! Also while the car was outside i thought i would see what the kit would look like, heres a pic of it sitting on the car, i have the back aswell just couldnt be bothered taking rear bumper of. What do you think, should i keep the kit or ditch it, needs a lot of fixing up
Havnt updated this for a while, here are some pics finally got the rb25det in, and a couple of pics with out the kit on. Finally got it in my own garage last weekend so should beable to start making some good progress, will get this updated Will be getting some wheel spacers, new tyres, drive shaft loop for cert, and a gaurd roller, this week so should have a bit to do this weekend, get it looking a bit better
Nah the previous owner decided to paint it that colour, here are a couple of updated pics, its all road legal now and have sanded the roof back just need to paint it now
Man, I never thought I would see this car again, what were the chances I would just so happen to come across it randomly on the net a year after it was sold Lock that shit up tight and have it insured mate, the thieves that stole it from my mate didn't leave much of it for us to salvage back in the day. Good to see it's gone to a good home though!
Cheers mate, yea its came along way since i bought it off you lol. Yeah its locked up pritty tight and insured so hopefully be all good, there seems to be a lot of cars getting taken these days though
