So, about time i posted a build thread on this afterall i have had it a fortnight,

so basically i swapped my 1991 skyline r32 gts for this very lovely FC3S Vert, i know its winter (and britain) but the soft top means ill be pimpin in time for JAE with the top down. Engine is untouched bar an exhaust (which after a visit to RRR me and chris figured its fooked). few bits and peices need tlc but overall on par, if not better condition than the r32 and about the same mileage, but with a tasty 200-220bhpish (its got the most poke ive owned thats all i care about, and can spin up the rears )
Unfortunately its been overshadowed by GT5 atm but after a few problems in the last week and getting it up and running perfectly today, dropping the mrs off at work and hit the deepest pot-hole in the world. First thoughts i thought ive fooked my coilover but after 5 hours of messing i think ive sortedd it, just gotta put all the lining in tomorrow.

Plans are to drop it as low as possibe (need the arch roller first though as im already taking paint off the arches), front mount intercooler, some special wheels im eyeing up, and usual bits. Would love the re-amemiya headlight conversion but im not paying £1300 so im currently researching something

watch this space



pics




and after me and chris added some poke:

get rid of that terrible belt driven fan

well, not updated this for a while so ill do some short sharp bulletins with pics

a few weeks ago, i came to a meet and myt headlights did not want to work, after many an hour investigating it i bit the bullet and took it to and auto electrician, turned out (after 3 hours and £146) that a ground wire from the switch to the relay was damaged, so had to run a new one.

Then, sunday nioght i went for a spin (literally) with ezz and alex, i wont disclose too many details on a public site but it involved sideways and lamppost, you do the math.
Unfortunately none of us got pics, so ytesterday morning i got up bright and early and spent 7 hours sorting as much out as possible



then today on my break i got the major dent out the door and now looks like this



you may also notice its slightly lower, couldnt resist while it was in the air
damage left to sort-
exhaust
manifold

ok so wheels back on with fresh stretched rubber, however once again whilst jacking the car up slight mishap with the car rolling (me ezz and gaz didnt see it coming :S) and the rear bumpers cracked. So...........out come the cable tie stitches tomorrow. I know theres alot of hate for them, but as far as im concerned i cant afford to get it re-fibreglassed and instead of letting it look wank and flapping around why the hell not.

ill upoad pics tomorrow when its washed and sorted

................oh and found out who makes 'wise sports' (the wheels on my car)

made by desmond, same company as regamaster evo's and such. will have to start looking for new lips for the fronts

noice!

clean

Nice, do summat with front plate will freshen up front end

Yeah might order jap plates, need to get jdm rear recess first though

Any suggestions as to where to order them cheapest or which web site? Also what's the measurements?

Plates ordered, should have the front on for Monday, gotta find a jdm rear panel to fit the rear or fathom a way to fit it
