well thats why I said call elitejdm and see if he will part out the axles from one of the subframes

One step forward and another back. I could not figure out a way to miss the 300z starter with the GTR front output shaft. SO I sent off the flex plate and flywheel to a custom flywheel shop to have one made that will let me use a 300z clutch and the vh45 starter. Supposedly three more weeks until it ships

Also ordered a complete r32 rear subframe and front subframe(WITH AXLES) as that was cheaper than buying new ring and pinions for the front diff to match the rear.. These are on their way from Japan so a few more weeks on them.

Not much to see in the way of pictures but will post as soon as things arrive. Almost have the interior back in just want to fix some missing foam that seals the AC unit from sucking in trash in the cabin.

I have been spending what little time/money I have getting my son's 91 hatch and my 92 sr20det coupe ready for Autocross and Drifting. And on a side note my machinist has started on deck plates for my V10 Iron/Viper swap into a AWD Durango........ I promise things are moving forward but have been working a tremendous amount hours between 4 jobs to try and pay for all of this stuff. Man this is FUN!!!!!

I'll update for him. I talked to him today and he's still waiting on his sub frame and axles to come in. Its been about 4 months and he still hasn't gotten it.

Well I FINALLY got the flywheel in and mounted to the crank (awaiting more flywheel bolts). This allows me to clear front drive shaft! Supposedly the sub-frames will leave Canada in the next week or so. After 7 months of waiting I am not holding my breath yet.

AFTER 7 MONTHS!!!! I finally got the front and rear R32 subframes in. I am going to use the front R34 (that I have already started modifying) subframe instead but the will use all of the brakes from the R32 subframes. The GTR spindles are too small compared to the Maxima's. Going to the salvage yard today to try and source some Maxima Axles. Hope that the Maxima outer will fit the GTR axle.

Just got my modded Maxima knuckles. Got them at the shop now for new gearings and getting some maxima axles in to see if we can modify the GTR ones so I don't have to buy completely custom ones.

Got both the front and rear subframes powder coated and will post pics once I can get home in the day light.

Sorry for the slow updates and progress. Had a death in the family that has turned our world up side down and we are still trying to recover. I am more determined than ever to get this car finished! Once I can get it rolling I am moving it to a shop instead of the yard on plywood sheets!

Forgot I had taken this picture. This is the brace kit I welded in before sending the s14 rear subframe in for powder coating. Pressed in solid bushing for frame and diff as well.

And one last one. This is the R32 rear subframe that I will be pulling all of the parts off of to put on the s14 frame. This one was for my references on the ebrake cables.

Next thing to knock off the list is to get my machinist to make an adapter to bolt to the knuckle allowing me to use GTR lower ball joints to match up with the R34 GTR Lower Control arms. These will also allow me to lower the car an inch and keep factory suspension geometry and use the cool aluminum LCA's! Once in the shop (making engine pulls easy) I will start the custom oil pan and motor/transmission mounts.

I know you all hoped for more and I do too!

OK Nissan guys I need the plug that goes into this cluster. 90's GTR triple cluster. Don't know if there are any USDM cars that have these plugs? Let me know! I want to get torque split gauge working for the OEM look!

No clue on the plug but, you can solder wires to any spot with i coated copper(shiny, you can sand off the coating) an then ur your own connector. Just be careful not to overheat and peel the traces.

The reason for the plug? I am going for the OEM look and want to get the factory torque split working! I have the maxima knuckles awaiting new wheel bearings and I am pretty sure the GTR hubs will press in so I won't need custom axles.
