Drove the car up to my parents place a couple weeks ago to finish off the season. Parts are on order for a nice exterior makeover.

Car was taken to my parents place because we sold our house. This past year has been a tough one so we decided to make use of the insanely hot Toronto housing market and move out of the city. The lower cost of living will be a nice change.

Below are some of the images from the listing.

Unlike many people I keep project cars longer than houses.

In smaller news, I made a new ashtray cover as mine cracked and the R chassis market is insane for spare parts right now.

Congrats on the sale! Sellers market for sure. I just recently bought a place after about 2 months of searching and houses were going same day- it was wild.

Holy Moly. That WAS your house? Magnificent.
Looking forward to the next setup...

We are moving out tomorrow and will be renting for the next few months. The seller of the new place wanted a longer closing date.

Eh it will be worth the wait.

Im excited to have the extra space. :)

New place looks beautiful!!

Thanks, I cant wait to get in there and get everything all setup.

In the background, I have been working on a bracket set to use 350Z brembo calipers. Its pretty common knowledge that the fronts bolt up by drilling out the mounting holes. The rears require a bracket to work. These are designed to use a readily available (much larger) 370Z rotor. The brackets are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and bolt on to the rear knuckle without modification.

This is what i've come up with so far. so once im set up at the new house ill give an update with how they fit. Its winter, cold and everything is in storage.

Not the update I wanted to make but I feel its important to keep people updated.

As everyone else echoed the Otaku adapter kit is TRASH and will leak no matter what. I've taken every precaution with getting this to work and it leaks no matter what I did. It Achilles heal of this kit is the added points of failure. Stock you have a single leak point where there manifold meets the head.

With this kit, you create 3 potential leak points.

I've gone back to my single throttle setup for the time so I can enjoy the car.

Not to give up on having ITBs, I have also ordered a stock lower plenum to cut and weld on adapters I have designed and had machined at work.

Ill keep everyone updated as we move forward.

The new garages are a nice place to work though :)

This thing is really cool man. I dig all the little details you can get perfect by 3D printing them first. Good stuff.

Which kit is that? How is the fitment?

Kmak Aero?
.
RocketZ?

Thanks. Thats the part of the project I enjoy the most.

Rear overs and sides are Rocketz. The rear quarters on this car have always been kind of soft. this allows me to fix the rusty areas and add more shape to the body at the same time.

The fronts are reps which fit like they have been run over by a forklift during transit. Ill probably source something else.

Ive got some more aero doodads on the way to move it away from the OEM GTR aesthetic to make it more of my own.

Paint in the next month or so :naughty:
