    Spoiler!!

    Where did you find the duckbill spoiler? Is it for a z31 or a different car. Looking for one online but have been unsuccessful. Awesome build by the way!

    Another update, feels like ages since the last one, due to christmas and the shite weather!

    The aim yesterday was to have the back end fully built back up and on the car, but a few little niggles (missing nuts, bolts) and also time, we didn't achieve it. But we did manage to get everything ready for next time round.

    First job was burning out the old rubber arm mounts, ready for the new polybushes to be slotted in:

    Can't beat red on black combo!

    Built up with the drive shaft mounts fitted ready:

    Then it was on to cleaning up the drive shafts, re-greasing and also fitting new CV boots...with the help of a coke bottle (engineering at it's finest):

    Before:

    After:

    The next up-date should literally be everything being put back on the car, with the newly welded up diff, along with the coilovers, newly built up brake callipers, dimpled disc etc, and I think that will be the first major mile stone for the car!

    Oh, we also picked up this little beauty, a half roll cage, will need some fettling to fit:

    Hi, nice build! Great to see a Z31 getting so much love!

    If they're going to be redundant, I'd be interested in the stock wheels. Please drop me a PM if they're available. Cheers.

    Looking forward to the next update.

    After a long delay, we have finally managed to get the back end (nearly) rebuilt. Everything was going smoothly until coming to fit the calipers and brakes. We have upgraded them to Z32 calipers which are apparently a straight swap, but for some reason the calipers do not fit flush over the disc without it pushing up against it. Has anyone else has this issue?

    Anyway we have at least now got it back to a proper rolling chassis, which has been a long time coming!!
