Hi Larry, The GT-R does come with a fuel tank, swirl tank, fuel sending unit and filler check valve but does not include pumps, filters, pressure regulators, hoses, fittings, etc. You can get a smokin' deal on a Superlite SLC Fuel System Kit from Rufus that's posted in the Garage Sale thread or...

Hi Larry, I'll be posting updates soon. This project reminds me of when I built my '86 Jeep CJ7 for off-road adventures and a little rock climbing. JEEP - Just Empty Every Pocket!

Hi John, Check out the NRG Innovations CARB-C100 carbon fiber conards available from Jegs.

Hi Larry, Yes, in the mating surface (see attached image, yellow areas). I'm sorry, I do not know the part numbers of the o-rings.

Larry, my car was shipped with the transaxle and engine adapter plate. After receiving the throwout bearing, flywheel, clutch, ring gear and starter, I was missing the following hardware: Adapter to engine bolts (McMaster Carr) Starter bolts Flywheel bolts Clutch bolts Throwout bearing bolts...

Thanks, Larry! The more fiberglass and bonding work I do, the more “daring” I become. If I screw up, I can grind it out, clean it, glass or bond it again. The old saying: “Hammer to shape, file to fit, paint to hide!” comes to mind.

The replica tail lights and buckets from H Craft Customs fit perfectly. After cutting out the holes and fit checking the lights, I bolted in the supplied buckets to hold the assemblies together then bonded the buckets to the rear clip. After they cured I trimmed and sanded the inner lip then...

Luke, the carbon fiber body looks amazing (I'm so jealous). Looking forward to following your build. Enjoy!

Good question Joel. I assume it's the same but you know how that goes... The main difference is the pilot bearing with a 15mm ID. You may want to wait until you have the transaxle, flywheel/bearing and clutch before you purchase the alignment tool.

Joel and Larry, Do not purchase the T10097 clutch alignment tool - it is the wrong one and will not fit the pilot bearing. See my post #34 and look at the attachment, page 4, for the correct part number.

I'm also working on locating the heater supply/return lines to the radiator lines at the front of the car along with a heater control valve and an engine heater bypass. Also began installation of a Stroud fire suppression system. Next I'll begin assembling the axles and back end of the car for...

Hella modular lights have a flat spot on the bottom for the installation of a socket/bulb assembly. I installed a set of sockets and amber LED light bulbs into my fog lights so they can double as a turn indicators. The rubber socket (Dorman 84803) and 194 amber bulb (Philips LED 194A) fit nicely...

With the new firewall/window assembly, a large gap at the bulkhead was filled with a ½” thick, 2” wide plate.

The Borla Eightstack is not a “fly by wire” system and requires a throttle cable. The cable sleeve was trimmed to 76” in length with a ¼” diameter barrel connection at the Eightstack and a ball joint connection at the throttle pedal. I machined a new adapter between the pedal and ball joint...

I bonded on the light mounting rings (Hella P/N 157659007) and assemble everything. The headlight bezel was trimmed to fit snugly. I had to bond a stud to the bezel to tighten the inboard upper corner to the headlight bucket on each side.

To help bleed air from the radiator, I installed a 5/16” bleed line routed from the upper radiator bleed fitting to the expansion tank.

With the rear window installed, the expansion and overflow tanks could not be installed on the firewall so I decided to place them as high as possible on the square tubing. This location also provides good access to service the tanks.

On eBay found small LED dash indicator lights for L/R Turn signals, High Beam, Fog Lights and Hazard. Nice quality low cost LED dash indicator lights available at https://www.ebay.com/itm/372035820299

Hi Lee, For all the fiberglass work and bonding I'm using the West System Epoxy Resin. For the vinyl ester fiberglass work I'm mixing the 105 epoxy resin with the 205 fast cure hardener. When bonding (including the light rings) I mix in the 404 high-density filler. Per the West Systems...

H, you are a true craftsman. You've done an amazing job with the exterior and interior - love it!
