By far my favourite build ever on here! Would love a look round this when it's finished. Even before it's finished I'm sure it'd be class to see!

Keep the updates coming (y)

I grew up with my best friend and went to all the Japanese shows in England with him. I had a conversation with him at jae in 2005 that went like this.
If I ever have a lottery win I'm building that and it was a grey r32 with amber fronts sitting on Axel stands with mirrors underneath and everything about the car was aggressive and beautiful.
You lucky sod.

Going to be the stupid one here but what is a billet? Hahah... sorry

A CNC machined part from a block of metal. If you can imagine each of those starting from a big cube of metal and a CNC programmed machine trimming that cube down to form the finished part. That is what is known as billet manufacturing (y)

Stuarty are you getting most of the stock parts from Japan as well as the tuning parts?

Most of the latest stuff from kudos motorsport Australia, the dollar is pretty good at the minute, and they are a really great bunch. Week shipping with nearly no import duty every time.

Looks like everything is being done to a high standard,

Those rocker cover baffle plates are great, you'll never have a problem with your catch tank filing up.

Be meaning to do this for months now, major clean, Hoover and a few coats of autosmart midnight. Turned out well, better than the grey shag.

Tomei cat back system bought a few months ago, 2nd hand but in great condition, not sure if it's good enough for a spot underneath the car yet.

Bells arrived back late yesterday, great finish. Had to have a mock up asap. Looking good.

As others have said.... wow. Serious amount of hardware there.
Wouldn't even like to imagine the cost of that lot.
Going to be a serious piece of kit when you are done, hats off.

Couple of big decisions last week on the 32. Wasn't entirely happy with the driver side repair. At the start of the build I said to myself, NO SHORTCUTS OR THAT WILL DO's. So I decided to go with the new inner and outer 1/4 and new sill. Should be closed back up for the end of the week. Not great taking a step back, but hey, **** it, I know it's right. Paint for xmas, that's the plan.
