Lovely car and great job on the clean-up.

Thats one cool looking loon

Cheers guys.

Yeah, as Ed said, it was an Australian option for sedans - called a Rear Sun Guard. I haven't seen many around, and I'm surprised I haven't seen them for sale anywhere else.

Thanks mate, nah, I actually bought it brand new through my local Nissan dealer. I'll give you the part number if you're still interested.

Sorry for the delay in replying...

hey that's ok and if you could pm me the part number that would be great, thank you

Looking tidy. Top work there.

Thanks mate. Still like to do a few things, but it's getting there...


I got some more bits and pieces happening soon, so hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll have some updates.

Cheers

So... it's been far too long between drinks. Here is an update...

My car hasn't been getting much attention as I now have a 2013 Ford Ranger for work, but I have managed to do some bits and pieces with her...

Starting with a 30th anniversary CJ-I rear sedan garnish... These things are super rare, and I have only ever seen 2 of them. One of them is on the rear of my car;

Terrible pic I know, but I will get a good one at some point.

I managed to get my hand on a pair of AD22VF SSS/GTi front calipers;

which I managed to take apart and rebuild;

and with this,

some time and elbow grease, I managed to build this;

and this;

I haven't installed them on my car yet, but I've ordered some braided brake lines to complete the upgrade...

Furthermore, this weekend I took my front door off because of this;

yeah, it's baaaaaaad;

and swapped it with this;

The colour is absolutely spot on... it looks a little off, because i polished it before it went on, but it is a perfect match. I have since installed my JDM slimline weather shield on the door as well.

I should have a couple more updates in the future, but for now, thanks for reading.

Cheers
Chris

Yeah, it wasn't good... to be honest, I still haven't installed them, so I couldn't tell you, but I'm hoping they will... haha I got them off my SLX wreck. The SSS(Almera GTi) have rear discs as well (slightly bigger than the SLX)

cool, coz im gonna upgrade my brakes and i want disc rear, its kind of sad having drum rear . do u reckon that a sss rear would fit a sedan?

your car is one of a kind, you have so many rare parts that is a crazy list

They will fit. Although, as with the SLX rear discs, you'll near the entire rear beam and the handbrake cables... The rear beam has different mounts for drums and discs, and the handbrake cables are different at the wheel end. I have heard that you can get away with using the stock non-disc Brake Master Cylinder... so I'm hoping that's the case.

haha thanks man, I think I'm a bit obsessed to be honest... I do like collecting bits and pieces though...

Wow, sounds like a big job but it would definitely be worth it, if i see a SSS ill pull that all out.

I'm afraid ill get obsessed aswell, i think its begun already

I think if you're into cars, you'll have that with any car you own. I find that it's quite rewarding... expensive, but rewarding.

i've been a car man all my life, so i sort of expected it, haha

 

[yatesy.27]

I spent my day off today detailing my car, and fixing some bits and pieces. It looks pretty clean...

Notice I took the spoiler off...

I've been working on a couple of things over the last week or so, so hopefully there should be a few updates coming in the next couple of weeks.
Also, I'm looking at getting some YellowSpeed Coilovers to overcome the 4wd specness... :thumbs: I've read a lot of good reviews from them, and they seem to be reasonably cheap for what they are. Anyone have experience with them?

Until next time, thanks for reading.
Cheers
Chris

Thanks mate. I haven't ordered them yet, and I might be a while before I get them installed, but its a step in the right direction I suppose... down? haha

Chris, long time no talk. Didn't know you posted your ride here. Read the whole thread from page 1 and glad to see the car is looking better than ever.
