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.

Hey Jet! How are you mate.

Cheers! Yeah, it's amazing how much it has changed... Embarrassing at times. haha

I'm almost happy as to how it looks. Time for more of the serious mods now... :)

Now it gets the powerz right?

Haha I wish man!

Because I don't want to turbo the existing GA16DE, I need to find a wrecked SSS/GTi/VZ-R with an SR20/SR16 and all the bits and pieces. I'm in a, what seems to be, a very isolated part of the world, and finding a donor car is proving to be quite hard... I have the money and the desire, just can't find one locally... unfortunately.

Slowly but surely. :D

Getting low in the next couple of weeks though. :cool:

Do you want me to source all the conversion parts you need and ship em over?

(Just a thought)

That would be awesome Elliot, but because I'd be going from a GA16 to an SR20/16 i'd need the entire front half of the car. I would guess this'd get pretty expensive. Especially shipping half way around the world... :(

I'll probably have to keep looking locally and interstate. Unless you know someone who is selling a GTi or VZ-R half cut cheap and can access and arrange cheap freight to me :cool::D:p

Thanks for the offer though, that's very kind.
Cheers mate
Chris

Why's that? Goods results can be had from example.

To be honest, I'd prefer to go VVL instead of going turbo. I don't know why, but I'd always wanted to go SR instead of +T.

At the moment my GA is auto and when I do an engine conversion, I would like to convert it to manual. So I thought it would make sense to just swap over to an all new engine at the same time... my car has 200,000kms on the clock as well, so if I can get an SR with less kms on it than that, I'd be happy.

Tastes change though, so I guess I can't completely discount it... :p
 
For sometime, my car has been producing iron oxide from around the rear high mount brake light crevasse.

In an effort to rid my car of more rust, I took the spare bootlid off my red SLX, stripped everything from it including the high-mount brake light, made up a blanking plate and filled the hole, sanded it back and repainted it in BS7 Blue.

What about the high mount brake light I hear you say? I managed to get a hold of a genuine VZ-R sedan rear spoiler, with the integrated high mount brake light. I had to drill a couple of holes in the bootlid, but I'm super happy with it. It's a lot more square than the AUDM 'pulsar plus' spoiler.

Before I took this pic, the car was under the cover, and the bootlid was sitting on the grass. There was some dew forming on the bootlid before I put it on, so that is why it looks a lot different colour and texture wise...

Please keep in mind that I'm not a spray painter, and the reason why i used my spare bootlid is because I thought I would give it a go, and see how I'd go by myself. I'm pretty happy with the colour, but the clear coat finish isn't the best. It looks a lot more matte in the pics than in person. Next weekend I'll take it off and give it a proper buff and get it ultra glossy...

The car cover will stay off the new paint for the next couple of days. I think I will mount the badges back on the bootlid when I'm completely finished.

My coilovers are still in transit, but I should see them in the next couple of weeks.
Cheers for looking.
Chris
 
Looking Great Chris, I should have a rear garnish and some genuine Nissan saloon spats in the next few weeks myself ;)

Thanks man, yeah I think the spoiler looks so much better than the stock aussie delivered spoiler...

That was my ultimate plan. To go an SR20 with a SR16VE head. I'm just unsure whether if I should be looking for an N14 SSS or Q with an SR20. They should be heaps cheaper and easier to come by, but everything should be a direct swap if I get an N15 SSS. Just getting hold of one locally is proving to be a lot harder than I thought... I would prefer to go manual if I can...

Cheers though. If you happen to come by a complete N15 SSS down your way, maybe we could come to some arrangement parts wise? hehe.

Thanks! It looks epic in that last pic, but I'd still like to polish it and buff it up so its more shiny. Not bad for a first go though!
