Hi everyone, Wondering if anyone is interested but Operation K is underway. Our project starts off with a coupe shell that i salvaged from the crusher which cost me $350 a tonne. It spent the last 3 months having all the rust cut out of it which includes lower rear quarters front and back, rear beaver panel, lower door skins, lower guard skins, roof gutters in and out and steel GT-R guards. The photos show some of the steel work that we've completed.

I've decided to install an RB25det with matching gearbox, and r200 diff centre with cv rather than the uni's. R32 rotors with the quad spots upfront and California vented rears and calipers up back, all sitting on z31, 5 stud hubs.

Most of the fabrication is completed and i will post more shots if anyone is interested...

Hi Mate,

fantastic work.. i had forgotten how awesome it looks in black and with the integrated flares!

Any news on the GT-R taillight surrounds? (i know i said i wanted the black gel coat before.. but would much prefer the chromed ones now i think about it!).

on a side note, not sure if your interested, but i am trying to get the some action happening on the fibreglass/carbon bonnets http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?p=325646#post325646

oh, while i think of it.. when you wired up the car, any chance you kept the diagram and could post it up (pretty please!!!)? would be keen to find out what you did with the ignition and powering the ECU during the start.

I kinda cheated on the wiring.......pulled the 240k loom out, stripped the rb25det loom off the motor and mailed it to "QUICK FIT MOTORSPORTS" (02 9476 2877, ASK FOR STEVE). 3 Days later it came back as one. Plugged it in and turned the key, everything worked but the tacho (fixed now, that diagram is in my post).....very professionally done. Sorry I can't be of more help, I was going to give it a go, but they did everything I was worried about, rb25 alternator works, there's an out put on the cpu for the fuel pump and all look very neat, thanks........

that is awesome, can you give me a ballpark figure on what it cost? sounds like a better idea than buying a generic painless type wiring kit and shoe horning that in.

$550 on the dot, if you need a curcuit made for the tacho, I can provide you one, you will need a conversion done to your tacho. The standard oil pressure sender will bolt onto the rb25 block, so your oil pressure guage will work. The only problem is the temp guage, I used an standard alumiunium r33 radiator off ebay, welded an alumium bung to it and ran the standard aftermarket sender unit, I'm running all the standard dash guages except for the boost guage thats replaced the amp guage. Also a d21 speedo drive will make the speedo work as well. let me know how you go.........as far as the gtr taillights go, I've had 3 sets made but aren't really happy with them, we are currently working on a silcone cast.....I'll be posting photos of the r31 rear brake conversion using standard r31 brackets soon!!!!

some photo's of the r31 rear brake conversion, in this conversion I did weld up 3 unwanted holes and redrilled them in the new position.....but if really wanted you could still make them fit with a round file, and having one unused hole...if anyone is intrested I can post a drawing of the bracket or even supply a set of brackets.......
