Sorry, Old links doesn´t work! I could fix those if there is possibility to edit old messages? Car is now painted as you can see (there is still some chrome parts which will be black). http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery3/index.php/OMG_5464-1 http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery3/index.php/OMG_5388-1 Engine is disassembled and getting some new parts: CP-pistons 86.5mm, Eagle rods, Acl race bearings and Arp studs. Of course full gasket kit, new water and oilpump and much more. Lots of new pictures: http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery3/

Yes that rear wheel bearing carrier and strut hole is machined bigger. http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12268 New front tube is pressed over existing tube..

Got some new parts: - Custom made exhaust manifold - Holset HX50 MFS Turbocharger - 60mm wastegate Pictures Now I´m working with car body again and plan is to paint it finally this summer.. (white colour)

Height adjust works.

Car is now sitting in ground with wheels (first time after build).

Hi.What is the easiest way to replace that front pilot bearing? I have differential case taken away and oil seals, and I can see that front bearing is not tight. Do I have to remove drive pinion?

Tein coilover conversion and z31 front/rear hubs done. I will change front springs shorter& stiffening with helpers springs. Rear height adjust looks like working better. Front is too high... More pics: http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2614&g2_page=14

Something new... I´m adding two more pipes to rollcage http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12312 Sparco 6-point belts http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12318 Suspension parts "final paint" 2k urethane in metallic silver. I will change those control rods later to adjustable. http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12508 Putting first suspension parts to body. http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12510 Some parts are plated with electric zinc. I will remove that zinc from "welding area" of those coilover sleeves. My idea was protecting those pipes inside. I think those are welded and ready in next week and then my coilover conversion is done. Off course I have to paint whole package after that. http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12512

That new "tunnel" ends right before passenger seat. I fitted my sparco seats while I was doing that. And exhaust will continue "flat" below drifeshaft, after 4" downpipe.

Rear strut modifications done. Hole drilled from 55mm to 60mm and new coilover sleeve fill fit nicely. Strut housing where the bearings fit also bored from 70mm to 72mm so I can fit Z31 rear stub axles. http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12268 http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12270 Tunnel for big exhaust: http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12254 Tranny mount almost ready: http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12264 http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12266

Engine sits in correct place with homemade mounts. Before R154 tranny-mount I will make some space (tunnel) for 3.5 - 4" exhaust. More pics: http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2614&g2_page=12

Test fitting more parts, and I like that white colour.

Rear coilover conversion would be easier with shorter struts than those Tein-Flex. Now it requires some modifications to get car very low, if needed. More information when it´s all done.

I had a summer-break and spent my time with other hobbies, but last week i´ve been working in garage. Still same bodywork but now it looks much better. Some latest pictures in here: http://toni.dnsf.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2614&g2_page=11

This car has long history and many owners. If we go far backwards... In some point the original rear lights and some other parts were stolen. I don´t really know that person who built this car before, but i´ve heard something. (stripped bumpers, fitted new lights and exhaust, 1st rust removal, red paint and much more) I´m pretty sure that previous car builder didn´t even know what is Nissan Skyline, and the model was something like Ferrari... I have now original USA rear lights but I probably change those to Euro model.

You can try media blasting for your car body. They can use materials that don´t damage body like sand.

Hello. I didn´t leave space for original clutch / brake booster. Pedal box was my plan all time. It could be more worse than boosted stock brakes. Who knows... But there will be 2 new brake master cylinders (wilwood or girling) with balance bar and quick adjust. Off course new cylinder for clutch too. If I have to grind down my welds i use this http://www.terassusi.fi/images/keraaminen.png

Picture gallery updated. http://toni.dnsf.org/260Z/index_10.html New pedalbox and more bodywork...

If you are wondering why there is a wheel and tyre.. It´s because I was measuring what could be ride height for car. With new flares, and without. Those are summer wheels from my other car. Off course I will test fit again with suspension parts. When i know what is best wheel offset for my car... I will order new wheels, with correct offset. Before that... it is testing with spacers.

Yes i have to protect that inner side. Today i started installing zg-flares.. Not ready yet.

SUBARU IMPREZA GC8 GF8 GC WRX STI VERSION I II III IV V VI VIN No JF1GC JF1GF But, rear strut is little bit long and its not easiest coilover conversion. It will be fitted okay, with machine work.

Probably sanding and then new primer. Rear end is getting new shape.

Front bumper and airdam first test fitting..

Making those pieces off course. I will make aero diffusor later and little modifications to fuel cell bracket. There is 3 different paint in bottom. Zinc fill, epoxy and alkyd-paint.

Little bit something new. Last weeks I didn´t have much time to work with project..
