Thanks Lachlan @Lurch I filed off the enamel coating and they slid right in. Dont know why I got them coated as you cant even see them. Should have just done the nuts. Cheers Youhan

@KatoKid Thanks Dave, I will sort the struts out on Monday. My rear calipers are like Aaron's not sure what the front ones are on his. Will need to go through his build thread. Thanks @ZED660. My front calipers are definitely different from your ones but rear are the same. Ill take a picture tomorrow of the fronts I have and post it up. Thanks guys, this is why I love this fourm. Great help

Thanks @CroS13 hopefully Marcel moves fast lol. Yeah man I like your car its pretty clean. Also love the undercarriage looks mint with the finish you chosen

@KatoKid Well we got the calipers from SSS Automotive as SW recommended SSS and he said get the R33 GTR, then we found out Tim is SW son. I will call Tim and speak with him on Monday and see what he says. I may of misunderstood Stewart. Stewart is in Alice Springs ATM not sure when he gets back. @HKSZ Do the calipers sit on the front or the back, like the position of the calipers? Because they did look odd when I positioned the caliper on. But anyways worse case scenario I can sell these calipers as they are basically new and rebuilt the GTS T ones.

Finally managed to get the 240Z off the rotisserie. We have a issue were the front discs are a little too big and the SW front bracket is short for the R33 calipers so the two dont meet. The rear calipers fit good and there is good clearance for the wheel to spin freely. Will need to sort out possible smaller discs for the front. Anyone had this issue before?

Thats a really nice green with tan interior combination

So progress has been quite slow getting this setup complete. Sometimes information given by people is not the full story so you need to dig deep amd look for more information yourself. Had some clearance issues with the rear disc as it was not spinning freely due to it touching the caliper brackets. So machined the discs today shaving off 3 mils and now the disc is spinning freely. Front end is in exceps calipers. Rear end, the diff is in and control arms with new bushings. Hopefully Friday will put tye rear shocks up and get the car off the rotisserie. The car is so dusty man I was sneezing like I had hay hay fever lol

My understanding of Limited Availability means basic supply and demand. There will always be a demand for classic cars regardless of the model only due to different people liking and wanting different cars. Not everyone thinks of buying a classic car as a investment but there are the few who are chased up and would buy a classic for investment.

Thanks Lachlan I will sort them out on Monday, lets see how I go

Hey Guys Just had a look in this section but I couldn't find anything with people having issues with fitting their spindle pins in. So I have had the rear control arms painted, struts powder coated and the pins brass enamel coted. We tried to fiddle around and slide the pins in a little but they wouldn't go in both the struts or the control arms. Could the coating be the issue or ar they generally difficult to get in. Just worried they wont go in at all on Monday and then we would need to sandblast the pins to see if they fit. Anyone have a issue with theirs Cheers Youhan

Thanks @KatoKid yeah I have seen the square gasket but not the firewall one. Thought someone might have replaced theirs. Cheers

Hi Lads I been searching all over the internet for this grommet that is located on the firewall hole for the steering shaft but no luck. Been to 90% of websites that sell S30 parts. Mine was left on and the engine bay was painted but I want to replace it as the engine bay is getting painted again due to brake fluid spilling from the master cylinder. Would love your help Cheers Youhan P.S Love the colour

@gav240z Bro please dont depress me. I remember I had the chance to pick up a MINT Holden Monaro for 3k with a 350 big block, and my Dad talked me out of it. I still have deep memories but luckily I still got my 72 HQ Statesman. Needs some body work though, probably after the S30. Ohh yeah and I have been putting it on him ever since haha

Giving it a good scrubb down @gav240z this is your colour, looks hot This guy has a heap of videos but very poor camera work

Man I was in Picton today should have seen this beforehand could have taken some pictures and put them up. Add says no tags

Looks mint, seriously. Great work

Hey guys Making progress on the breaks, got the calipers back from powder coaters and had all the bolts and clips cadmium plated, also got a new seal kits. The SW brackets are spot on and look better than I thought. Had a heap of mucking around with fitting the hand break shoes and making them work with the springs and cable but got that sorted. Looking more complete

@GongZ so should the valance lenses be clear or yellow? Very off topic, sorry guys.

@GongZ Ian, did the 73 come with both bumper signals and lower valance? Thinking of putting the signals on the top of the bumper on my 73 and using the valance as fog lights. would this be correct?

Epic JDM aerodynamics lol.

This is Hectic. Love Star Road!

Not intrested in having someone see it. Just another Gronk on Ebay.

@RAP260 @gav240z this guy is definitely hiding something. He said its been stolen before and he doesn't want every tom dick and harry to know were its stored. I said I will show him my licence to give him peace of mind. Lets see what he says.

Blahahhahaha its in storage lol. Well he replied lol What should I ask him PlzZz

I already messaged him asking for pictures of the vin number, lets see if he replys.
