Really surprised at the fit! Looks awesome! That's going to be some rear arch!!

Are you paneling underneath too?

Vanne · Post by **Vanne** » Fri Nov 08, 2019 8:51 am

The front is panelled already from the splitter. The rear not, not sure what ill do about that if anything at this stage. I just want my garage not to look like a bogan gypsy joint with car parts and crap everywhere..

The rear arch will most probably be nicely taken up with the 315 sized rubber slicks that's going under it...
I could fit more, but the cost goes up exponentially.

Ok, so today a few more things went in to the bin. Well kinda.. Mufflers.. conclusion, my race mufflers will be impossible to fit on the setup as the holes for the pipes are located 2 inches higher than where mine hang now. that's not gonna be doable.. resultand.. removed!! bought some new race pipes.. 3 inch inlets 4 inch outlets. these are gonna fit perfect for the hole that's in the gtr rear bumper.

also resultant is a net loss of 6 kgs. (not bad!

)

The other issue with the GTR rear bumper is that on the right side , the fuel canister scrubber pipes interfere with the fitment of the rear bumper.. resultant.. fuel scrubber and piping in the bin.. net loss of 1.5kgs.. lol

should prob include a few pics

Charcoal canister is next on my list to remove. Would love to see how you vented the tank

Liam, all I did was cut the fuel breather line at the inlet (you'll find it under the wheel liner. Used some of the pipe and furbished a short breather (with the original breather and some sponge) I haven't plugged the return line yet, still gotta do that. I'll post some pics when I get home.

Panel #5 is on.

And the fuel breather . Note the newly painted section where they blew through with the mig and nearly blew the car up.

Had a nice day yesterday completing the rear end fit of the kit. Took me the whole day, but got it PERFECT!!

And then the inspection team came.

Then spent the evening finalizing parts for my rear coilover conversion.

are you going to chop out all the blanks in the rear arch vents?

Vanne · Post by **Vanne** » Sat Nov 23, 2019 11:46 am
