KID-K

Sometimes play is more important than work!

My new number plates "QWIK"

I COULD BE THE LAST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HAVE A 240K PINCHED. Last Sunday night a very thoughtful person helped himself to my parts car....The whole thing!!!!!

you need to run a 2.5mm tip and needle kit in your gun, Dave ( my brother) says he ran our gun at 40-45 psi. Again we used the same epoxy thinned down as an etch........

Some shots of the rear cv conversion before it gets bolted together. I used z31 turbo 5 bolt rear hubs, flanges, and half shafts, (the shafts themselves were fabricated for me by an engineer in bayswater, cost around $400)......The z31 rear flanges are much bigger than the standard 240k flanges, so the A frames also have to modified, so does the lower mounting plate for the shocker ( which now seems to fit better than standard)

Hi, I've done this conversion in my 240k, I have contacts in melbourne for an engineer to make the half shafts....I have post pictures in Operation K, post number #55

HI......our body work was done before any primer was applied...We actually used the same 2 pak epoxy as a primer and as the high fill. 12 Litres of it....the reason for this was because, one it was epoxy...thinned down as an etch, then used as a high fill...secondly because it was black.....when it dried it was as hard as hell...good luck...body filler should go on bare metal!

That was me you met, GT taillights! I'm waiting to get all the front end from the powercoater, hanging to put it together...Thanks

The green tape on post #13 was to show were the inner guard sits....I just used it to show the internal wheel clearance. thanks There's not much filler in the car at all, which means we spent a $^!# load of time getting it straight...

SHOTS FROM THE BOOTH.........

Just a picture of my Radiator, It's an aluminum R33 radiator with a water jet custom made shroud, and a couple of thermos off ebay....

Saturday morning, off to paint, should get the body back on monday........

I was hoping to cast them in two pieces, front and back, then glue them together, I'm not sure how thick the lenses covers are, this would determine whether I use glass or resign.:stupid:

Hi..guys..Adam off this forum has a set of cook top tail lights, I spoke to him if i could borrow them to make a cast, we'll meet soon to start casting...Also I'm in the process off making the fuel filler caps, I should have about 6 sets in about a week. I'm also running a trial on 240k gt interior badges...I'll keep everyone updated....keep an eye on Operation 240k for pictures regarding new items..........if anyone is interested i can also get the front air dam scoops made in aluminum!!!!!!!

I got the last set of flares from "challenge" if we need them for templates

I was really worried that mine was going look like a Torana with flares:finger:

Hey Noddle...Cool setup...does your headlight still fit...thanks for the pics

Where in Melbourne......His leaving at the end of next week to the states for 4 weeks, send me a private message and I will give you my details and Jamies...

Was just on Japan Yahoo and came across this...

Fabricated intercooler piping over the weekend, had to cut a small section off the top of the rails to make room for the r33 radiator, but it all seems to fit ok...

Making replacement panel parts aren't to much of a problem...We have templates for some parts, front guards, 2 door lowers and four door lowers, the rear quarter on the coupe are an issue as my replacements parts didn't include the wheel arch, as you can see from the photos there's a fair bit missing because of the flares...as a general rule you cut out the rusted section as good as possible and he will make a replacement with welding rids in place so it doesn't buckle when you weld it in place...by the way his in Melbourne...

Hi Lenny, sorry about the delay in replying. The flares were copied from the original gtr flares, only made shorter ( distance from the ground). The flares were made by a local panel maker, the number was given to me by the local hotrod guys, I'm happy to pass the number on if you wish..The only problem is that they cost me $1650.00 and you need a set of fibreglass ones to copy (which i have). If you are interested please let me know...he has also fabricated rear beaver, lower quarters (front and back), lower doors, lower guards, wiper tray, and inner and outer window gutters for me. Thanks for your kind words on my build...will post photos of the R33 aluminum radiator and intercooler install soon

I'm currently in Los Angeles on holidays, returning on the 10th of july, the coupe hopefuly will be out of paint when i get back..Tinter Black...will post pics as soon as i get back..

LOVE TO! Let me know when and where....the reason I asked about your front struts is that I also are using dr30 struts with z31 inserts (cut down about 45mm) but until today couldn't get the right ride height...Installed 200mm springs with keeper springs and all seems to fit ok......Any chance the Vert will be completed in time?

Mr Vert, you too have one cool ride...we'll need to meet in the middle one day...not many of us "non originals" around, good luck...what struts are you running in the front end?
