Wow those wheels look awesome! I was looking for some Cheviot Hurricanes but they're hard to find in four stud. I'll look for some of those now!

Looks like its time for a HUGE update... Car is still not ready but has come a long way since sept 08. Currently getting my front adjustable struts sorted and wheel bearings for the rear and she'll be rolling shell again yay! Once shes a roller motor will go back in get intercooler mounted and piping sorted etc then out it comes again to get engine bay painted gloss black So not too far... Well heres some pics be warned there will be alot haha enjoy.


Nolathane complete rear end bush kit


Adjustable platforms


VH41 Air Flow Meter


Etch primed engine bay


Zinc plated R31 disc brake mounts


Assembled rear end with R180 Viscous LSD 4.11 Ratio


Assorted Zinc plated parts i did at work. (Im an electroplater)


Bolted in steering and crossmember to get adjustables sorted out, but i may as well leave them in while i get intercooler sorted etc


Rear end all bolted up


Some machining my friend did for me on my shock inserts



Thats all for now but will try and update more often on here to show you all how we do it in NZ . I also scored some 280mm vented front discs for the front and a R33 GTST skyline rear end for free!!!!!! But will prob sell off the rear end as i need money and want to see how well my R180 goes before i go the R200 route. Cheers

Updates Updates Updates!!!
Got my new bearings today, from South Island Bearings got a damn good deal from them too

Installed new bearings into rear arms, then proceeded to bolt arms to rear crossmember.
Now i have no springs in at the moment (dont worry ill get some when im richer) so out of curiosity i wanted to see how she would sit just with the shocks. To my amazement incredibly low!!!!! Got some pics enjoy... Oh also if theres anyone out there who would like to use there photoshopping skills on my car go for it! would love to see how she'd look with some JDM rims on

.

More updates!! My mate turned down my hubs so i could fit my 280mm discs on, did a bloody good job was stoked with his work. Also picked up some S15 single pots off trade me, did a test fit on the disc and it doesnt look like a bracket will need much work to make. May enlist the Bartman's help for that. Might have to put things on hold for a bit spending wise but ill try and chip away at a few things.

Well i busy at it today mounting my front mount. Had to grind a bit off the back of the grill for it to fit nice but you can only notice it if your close up. Anway heres some pics!!

Now you see it

Now you dont


Im in the process of sorting my rear axles out shouldnt be too far away so i can get them shortned and resplined! Also my caliper brackets shouldnt be too far away. So its all go then! Will try and stay more on top of my updates than what i have

Right here are some more pics!













Iv decided to go the R200 longnose VLSD route now, as my orignal plan ws going to be too costly. Lets face it an R160 VLSD would probably not last as long behind a 300hp CA18DET!!!!!
