I BOUGHT A WRECKED NISSAN GTR THEN REBUILT IT IN 24 HOURS

I just bought this wrecked Nissan GTR which we think has been a victim to insurance fraud but despite that I think I can rebuild and fix this car within 24 hours and this time I'm mean 24 hours I'm not going to be leaving my workshop for a full 24 hours 9 hours left an attempt to rebuild a car I've never worked on before I can see oil I'm not going to cross this line unless I need to test drive the car that happen oh no but why when I saw this car at the Salvage Auction it looked like there was minimum damage an easy repair but there's one serious and expensive fault which I think is the reason this GTR ended up at the salvage yard a transmission fold transmission transmission Transmissions transmission the transmission in the early Nissan GTRs the Transmissions are prone to failure yep Nissan GTR a piece of jump and with Nissan refusing to sell any parts of the transmission separately you're almost forced to buying a brand new one which could cost thousands but what are the chances that it has a bad transmission on the day that it crashes seems unlikely and that's the risk I was willing to take one more that's it that's it 2013 now at this point the bids have already exceeded what I thought it was going to go to so if this car needs a transmission it would be a huge loss but I was still going to go for it 13 quick3 and just when I thought I was out bided and I was on my Max bid my cameraman decided to bid £750 more so £ 750 more is not a problem so and it looks like that did it I now owned a Nissan G GTR known for being the super car killer one of the most tunable cars I know of which brings such great value for money and here's mine oh my God what's happened there then oh my God I got a gdr this is one of them cars that I've always loved but never actually committed to buying one so does it start up yeah oh there in the middle it just I just there's something wrong with the brakes yeah they're very spongy yeah there's no brakes oh I think they must have jumped it look at that Japanese lightweight First Impressions it seems all good but the battery is flat and there's a problem with the brakes so now it's going to attach the battery pack to the battery to see if we can get this thing started up yeah there we go let's start it up apparently a transmission fault but have we got a bargain Let's Hear It Raw we want to hear Godzilla roar it's really smelly in here quite smooth well smooth the engine runs which is a good start but how about the gearbox it's a bit wor in it what's going on down there is that diff I don't know if that's normal but the the bra pedal look I'm all the way to the floor there's something wrong with the brakes the brake issue is strange but so far the gearbox seems okay and it actually selected gears goes into reverse thrt respon neutral first gear manual so what's wrong with the gearbox I don't know I guess we'll find out and we did find out at this moment I wasn't ready to work on the car so we left it on the trailer and the next day come back to it where all of the issues began to start I think plan is let's get it off the tra ER and we need to test if if this gearbox is fine then we've got a bargain okay I still don't know why there's no brakes there's literally it it goes like all the way to the floor and then it was the start of the transmission fault so we got transmission fault flashing on the dash engine management light no traction control but again all of this could just be because of the low battery oh despite the transmission fault and the rest of the faults on the dash the GTR still managed to select a gear and roll off by itself which is good news have you seen this have you seen this what's really cool you like this what how good's that the dash moves in the steer the dash can move the steo down and it doesn't obstruct your few of the of the dash you can move it down I can still see the dash move it up why is that not a thing in all cars that's really cool I think we've got a really good GTR here and it's quite rare to see an unmodified one it's just that transmission fault which is worrying me but maybe if I took this car for a drive it may clear all the faults that was my next step right check this out Auto will not go into manual stays in auto right let's see if we'll clear any faults whilst if we take it's like the C63 oh yeah oh yeah this is not good all ready foot flat to the floor could that be solenoid oh my defin an issue I think there's an issue which means it might not be as much of a bargain as we thought these GTR gearboxes kind of work like a manual gearbox but instead of using a gear lever in the car to select the gear you press the paddle behind the steering wheel and it then uses these oil pressured solenoids which slide in and out to select the gear but if one of these solenoid becomes jammed or there's a problem with the electrics then of course you're going to get fults the demonstration so it's in Auto from Stand still foot flat to the floor you would expect it to get off cuz GTR drag race videos I've seen loads of them on the interwebs ready 3 2 1 that was an improvement but it definitely wasn't right it seems we have a problem now I'm swaying towards this is an insurance job 100% definitely how is it that the gearbox goes at the same time that you get crashed into yeah I know that that's what doesn't make sense yeah why why oh my gearbox went and then conv some yeah what oh what a convenience now I've got a pay out from the insurance that just never that wouldn't happen that yeah it just like it would be so convenient for that to happen wouldn't it like if you went if the gearbox went and then you rang Nissan and you said hey mate my gearbox gone how much they would go oh 30 grand for a gearbox plus labor be like H oh no and then the next day someone crashes into it and you go oh no someone's crashed into my GTR I'm going to have to get my payout for the car can't believe it'd be so unfortunate oh yeah I do like GTRs but well you actually like it yeah what I wasn't saying I like this one I like GTRs but this is the older shape isn't it it's not even that much difference I noce it one Theory lot about only thing non-modified this is a seven Valley Motorsport key ring on the gtrr which is a company which modifies GTRs maybe you're in the wrong profession and you should be a detective so we've got multiple problems here a gearbox fault a fault with a battery an ABS fault a rear quarter fault a door fault and the fault with the brakes as well I bought this car to rebuild it within 24 hours thinking and we might get away with not having the gearbox fault but we're still going to try it within 24 hours and I'm not going to leave the unit and until this car enters that unit the clock starts Matt has definitely got a fault with his head this is it 24 hours inside my unit to fix a GTR now because it does have that gearbox fa we thought it's not the best idea to carry on driving it so to get it into neutral I can pop this plastic piece out insert the key and now I can SL the gear stick into neutral so we can push it inside the unit now before I received the car I ordered all the parts that I thought I would need and I'm hoping that there'll be a knock because the challenge is about to start this is it then from this moment onwards 24 hours I will not be leaving this unit Matt the cameraman and my dad are going to be leaving me at regular time I'll be staying here and I'm hoping I can fix this in those 24 hours I'm now I'm slightly worried about the gearbox but let's start these 24 hours and it starts let's do it what we starting with Tony the battery apparently the faults we're getting on the dashboard are all electronical faults electronical faults start with the battery if we can get a good battery on it then let's read the fault codes and if it's a case of clearing the fault codes and the gearbox is good we're on to a really good start and I can spend the rest of the 23 was 59 minutes doing a door and a rear quarter and then figuring out these brakes we've seen it plenty of times before a low battery causing many electrical faults what size you g me 10 you gave me 10 as well a yeah they are 10 oh are they for Chinese things are like odd well this is Japanese so so I think it seems right to start with the battery cuz there still could be a chance that this car didn't have a transmission fault before it went to auction and letting the battery go flat could have caused the fold 6 minutes so far battery out new one is going in the new battery cost me £60 and we just got to refit it but this time connecting the positive up first then the negative my dad will explain why the current anodes go from negative to positive they don't go positive to negative they don't go clockwise they go on clockwise it's not a clock last few things to bolt up on the battery then we're going to see if it changed anything right I think if this is a really really good deal and a really good gamble there's no transmission fault anymore right time to get out the code reader we go now we plug in the OBD reader which will hopefully tell us what the hell is going on with this car first step is to plug it into the OBD Port then we can read the codes imagine this does it this will be a bargain if that's the case yeah engine passage should be a fail for abs yes okay that's POS we do have a fault for abs we waited for the card to read all of the codes then we can get an idea of what's going wrong okay so Transmission solenoid as a thought one of the faults is for a solenoid in the gearbox along with another fault as well control module performance and that could be because the battery is low cuz the battery is low oh my if this works I swear if that 60 quid battery fixes that gearbox that's going to be crazy but why would you have a past fault module if the if it if it's low if your batter is low it will bring up a load of fault codes which are just going to be past faults because now we got a new battery on it this error is about low battery dead battery bad ground or problem it's going to be a battery we're hoping this fault was just caused by a low battery so what I'm going to do now is clear that fault codes and see if any of them come back when we rescan it Cod have been successfully erased good news okay it seems to have done it there's a bunch more codes on the car which I'm just going to clear off and then later we'll see what comes back I've got no Faults left no Faults left over ignition's off now and we start it up and I think I need to test drive it please if there's no flashing light from the start up we're on to a [Music] winner there's no light there's no light there's no light we've just got we've got traction control light ESP Sim system malfunction visit dealer it might just need driving might need driving wouldn't it if this is fixed it I this is the best I'm allowed out but as long as I don't touch the outside world Flor the rules are I'm allowed out the unit as long as I'm test driving the car could it be the car only needed a 60 lb battery to fix a transmission fold the brakes we still have no brakes so there is definitely an issue there will it go into manual it will oh it's driving well smooth no ways it fixed it no it's so much better that's second gear we got a fault oh we yeah we've got a fault but it's an ABS fault ABS malfunction it seems to be working we do have a fault which has come back about the ABS and the traction control but we think the transmission fault is fixed so I'm going to go into aut go to auto and pulling off it works that no way no way it's so much better we really could be onto a winner here one transmission fault fix already and I've still got 23 hours left to fix the rest of the damage it's looking more and more possible so we've got transmission fault done but we've got abs fault a broken door and a broken rear quarter with 23 hours remaining I think I've just bought myself at least 10 hours of gearbox fault soling now it's up in the air for the GTR to see if we can see anything unusual underneath the car an oil leak here looks like a lot of oil oh yeah it seems we got a small oil leak coming from around the gear box so we need to inspect that look at that look at that me exhaust you can tell it's from oh my god look there bits of it missing the exhaust is definitely rust there do you know what though it looks like all OEM bolts underneath which is a sign of like a really well- looked after car the rust is probably explained by it being in Devon and save the lifeboats he's going to have Liv near the sea in there earlier we seen that on the number plate the cars come from Dorset which is on the coast in the UK so it's been around some salty water and to back this up we can see that he supported the life boats maybe this was a life boat the amount of rust that's underneath it but I still think it should clean up well look at this we think we found some sort of clue to the brakes check out this look the caliper looks like it's being spaced and look at them that can't be original why would you space the caliper the only reason you space the caliper is if you put a bigger disc on there but that still doesn't explain why we don't have a brake pedal before we jump onto the brakes I'm just slightly worried that we know how bad these gearboxes are and it looks like there is oil down here so we want to inspect where that's coming from first which means we got to remove this panel then we can move on to try and getting these brakes working and I think if we can get the brakes working without like buying anything this is a bloody good car to get to the oil leak we've got to remove this huge undertray then I've got my fingers crossed that is nothing drastic we found where the oil is coming from say could be coming out switch look so this oil leak is actually coming from I don't know what a position maybe a position switch because look here's the here you can see the shifter arm where it selected into neutral part reverse drive whatever you like but check this out I removed that just two seconds ago and all oil was all inside of a what oil in electric yeah it's coming down the switch through the terminals the switch oh a new Switch should solve that oil leak so I'm going to have to order one you got an ex a new exhaust for this I don't know I bet this is the only car you you're not putting an exhaust on and it needs a new one my dad's right this exhaust has seen better days but that wasn't on my list of things I needed to fix let's solve this break issue 22 hours got so much time only change two panels as well Wrong five how good is stood or enough this wheel I don't think has been cleaned ever look at all the brake dust on it and they put the new weights over what the hell and look at that the tire is stretched on it's the wrong size tire and it's a radar it just doesn't match any of the other tires right these brake discs you reckon they're are am pretty they're pretty new we need to measure them and compare them to the stock ones we do we do and then we can see whether those spaces are on on the caliper because he's upgraded the brakes so far nothing's giving away why we've got spongy brakes but we can see a spacer behind the caliper because potentially it's got upgraded discs on you can buy upgraded 390 mil so it's going to measure the disc to see if it was the upgraded one 390 390 that upgraded so it was an upgraded disc and that explains the spaces behind the caliper but it doesn't explain why the brake pedal pushes to the floor now the reason why you get a spongy brake in a car as we've all know is because there's going to be air in the hydraulic system and the way to get the air out is to undo these bleed nipples on each corner and hopefully that will get the air out of the system if there's no air in the system then we have an issue with the brakes which is not good could it just be the casee of bleeding the brakes then we'll get a pedal I guess if we look at I'm giving it a brake fluid change which I think is a good idea my dad's sucking out all the old brake fluid and then we're going to replace it with some fresh fluid so I'm going to fill the reservoir up now with clean fluid y okay cuz that's empty and then when my dad puts in the fresh valine fluid it should push the rest of the old fluid out of the system and at the same time we should get out any air that's in the system as well my dad's going to Each corner whilst I'm pumping the brakes in the car and hopefully we can get a pedal okay pedal pedal test it's rock hard really yeah it's rock hard look look at this rock hard we fixed this for zero no £60 at the minute but why has it got an ABS fault on the dash even though I had a brake pedal I still had a fault for the ABS and the traction control estp system malfunction we got this valve set code now the traction control works by slowing down a wheel it thinks is accelerating too fast compared to the others stopping wheel spin and the ABS works when it thinks one wheel is slowing down too much compared to the other Wheels to stop skidding but there's one type of sensor you need for both of these systems to work and that's a wheel speed sensor these sensors tell both the ABS and the traction control how fast each wheel is turning at one time and if there's a fault with any one of these wheel speed sensors then of course we're going to get a fault for the ABS and traction control so what I'm doing now is taking the GTR on another test drive with readings from each wheel speed sensor to make sure they're all reading the same speed as each other left unlock now should also should read same speed and it looks like they are yeah there's no obvious signs is there is the ABS yeah I've got abs and ESP malfunction so this valve set is the issue now again just like the gearbox the ABS works with solenoids if the ECU detects that one wheel is skidding it will send a signal to one of the solenoids to stop sending brake power to that skidding wheel now it's possible that this valve set fault means something to do with the solenoids only way we can do is get it back to the unit and investigate more we've still got a door and a rear quarter to go but we have fixed the brakes and we have fixed the gear boox time was ticking we got the car back in the unit and just tested everything all the relays for the ABS which all seemed okay but then we think we found a solution the C11 93 code is to do with the ABS pump and the ABS pump needs to be calibrated with a uh a tool which we haven't got this person's tried to use ECU Tech to try it but it didn't work for him in the end the solution was 150 quid to run a calibration at the Nissan dealership and then it worked so why why would it need a valve calibration I wonder if it's because the battery's been going flat and power and then it needs to recalibrate yeah then it need it needs to recalibrate that's it that's it we're going to have to go to Nissan and it is now 527 on a Friday well I'm still taking it as a win because we got the brakes working the transmission's working we only we we're we're 60 quid in and everything works so apart from there's a lot in the D so again the conclusion has come down to electrical stuff stupid but now we can move on to the Bodywork which is a little more straightforward okay door's coming off guys so my dad reckons they only use 12 14s and 15s on Japanese cars and it'd be correct because that is a 12 mil this door is made out of aluminum and because of that it makes it pretty hard to repair and also second hand doors weren't too expensive so I'm just going to remove this door and replace it with a second hand one there's one bolt for the top hinge one bolt for the bottom hinge the check strap in the middle then the wiring whoa I've got you bro I've got you okay door off and once we've got the door off we need to make sure we strip everything from it the door card and the wing mirror Chris is here and he's dropped in to help so what is Chris is going to do is take this door card off a you Chris yeah so Chris is going to do that whilst we take more damaged parts off the next one is the rear quarter and there's not many 12 Ms you need to get that off go Chris going Chris started stripping apart the door card off the old door because we're going to need this to put on the second hand door rear quarter to replace it takes a lot of work which means we've got to remove it see all these spot World spot World spot World spot World spot World spot world and it doesn't just stop there it's going to go all the way inside this window all the way down this glass which I may say screen saver already come before we started the 24-hour challenge to remove the screen so we had little SL head stop they did it good job screen is out this screen is also out as well can we do it in under 19 hours off and on with a new one there's only one way to find out unlocke the door the rear quarter is steel which makes it a little easier to repair but we're going to need a body shop to do that and it was pretty cheap for a new rear quarter someone did say when you remove this order new clips because they do break have you ordered new clips no oh you just said I'm going in with confidence oh no no that's you said happen oh no what we going to do oh no the guy that told him about the clips he didn't tell me about the whole thing that's what he did he broke oh he did he did didn't it yeah the lad who told me about the clips told me as well when he pulled this off he broke that trim mistakes were made it's always going to happen and it actually turns out this trim is screwed on from underneath the good news is that I think we could actually repair this to go back on but of course that's going to take even more precious time away from us it's off know it was stupid 10 bolts for a door card plus like Clips that's a lot wow this was an absolute bargain eBay £350 same color and it even come with the wiring the door handle and a window glass as well but we are going to have to switch some stuff someone's actually upgraded the speaker in this one to an a AED and they've also chopped the oem1 War enough you can see the two red connectors here so Chris is going to swap out the upgraded speaker for the OEM one we can actually check if this is a stolen part because we could car vertical check it from the VIN sticker on there and if it comes up stolen we've got stolen goods and that means we'd have to report it to the replce all you need to do to check a car out is have a VIN number or registration number and car verticle will get data from over 20 different countries what just scrap cut B this vehicle was damaged and this vehicle was marked as an insurance write off and it was in fact a category B and I used the same check for this car to really sway my decision into paying that little extra at auction despite the record of it being damaged this actually has a really good car vertical check are all the clips he look I didn't break a clip I just broke the trim Chris is back at the door card putting in the OEM wiring plugs for the speaker then he's also got a switch over the wing mirror from the old door onto the new one but looking back at the car vertical check for this car you can see that the mileage all lines up and there's no discrepancies but I can see that the car was damaged as a category s which means it can be put back on the road what's next Chris mirror's going in and then once the mirror's in glass goes back in now the thing I think is really good about this car is that I can see it's only had one owner cuz I can see a full timeline of this car and I can also see the month it was damaged last year in June we're switching the glass over from the old one onto the new one because the secondhand one come with tinted glass and also the glass is marked with a VIN number so we're going to make sure that they all match up then finally it's back on with a door card and with that being said if you want to set your car out on car vertical you can do with the link in the description box below and we using Code Matt you're going to save nice bit of discount on that and it looks like Chris what doing Chris let's go has JDM the door out Chris has cracked open a red ball which means we are a quarter of the way through meanwhile we've been taking off the side skirt the screws on this side skirt were so Rusty the most rustiest screws in the world that's Nissan you're a hater on the Nissan no only Nissan screws which means we have to be really careful when removing them there's a full on beach coming out of the side there's literally a beach on the Vlog I don't know what the previous owner did for this GTR but it looks like he's had some fun in it on a beach or maybe even off-road in but eventually we got it off look at all that this is all from De oh my god with the side skirt off we should be able to access everything now 17 hours 59 minutes left Matt's now going so we're down to me my dad and Chris to carry on [Music] eliminate anything which is attached to the rear quarter needs to be removed all these buttons switches and door latches all need to come off and once we've done that around the door shut it's time for the boot LD to come off unbolting both hinges from each side and then instead of disconnecting all the electrics in the boot we're just going to lift it up and slide it through the rear screen now we can access all of the spot worlds to drill off this rear quarter this is going to start drilling out the the spot worlds but the idea here is not to go all the way through we just want to drill off the top layer so then we've got something to weld on too and that's why he's using this special real [Music] bit was Chris was drilling out the spot Worlds at the front of the rear quarter me and my dad were working on getting the rear bumper off the car so we could access all the spot worlds behind the rear bumper and it looks like the rear lights actually come off with the rear bumper which is what I'm unbolting now and whatever I do on one side I got to repeat it on the other side as it gets later in the day and the time is still tiing down drilling out these spot worlds is a long process 2017 23 left Liam joined in the the more of us on this car the more likely we are getting it finished within that 24-hour time scale now both me and Chris are working at drilling out those spot worlds and then using the spot World chisel to wedge in between the rear quarter and the inner structure dad's clocking out 17 hours remaining now my dad's gone let's get his car in the ramp so we can finally get this rear bumper off back goes the GTR in the two poost ramp we've got to get this rear bumper off now so it's off with both wheels and Liam's going to peek around the arch line into to undo the bolts which connect the rear bumper to the rear quarter and on the other side I'm going to remove the full Arch lining this car looks like it's never been cleaned there's so much dirt but we'll have plenty of time after the 24 hours to clean it all up and maybe ice blast it all and once me and Liam have unscrewed all of the bolts we should be able to lift out the rear bumper complete with the rear lights as well and the diffuser behind the bumper the car's pretty clean and everything is fully original even the exhaust which I suppose is a good sign and now Chris is working away at separating the outer quarter from the inner Arch lining structure right it's getting to that time where if we don't close the shutter we will attract 9,000 moths and that is it it is down whoa and there's a moth already in that's a fat moth it's like a bird 16 hours with everything exposed at the back we're back to Drilling and then chiseling out these spot welds we're going to make sure we don't damage any panels underneath the rear quarter because that's what we're going to be welding on to but Chris seems to be enjoying this job so what we decided to do instead of replacing this whole panel with all the light section and everything else in there we're going to just replace the outer quarter panel which means we've now got to drill all these bits off this piece and keep this piece on the car which actually is not going to be is it's going to be all right to be fair because then we know the light is in the right position we know the boot's going to be in the right position it's just the quarter panel we got to line up so I'm going to start drilling these off Chris is already over there drilling them ones off hopefully we can pull this off I think this is the best solution the only issue with doing this is that I risk damaging the new panel so I've got to be as careful as possible here but I think I've smashed it 14 hours remaining we're at a bit of a situation ship over here we're um slowly peeling back this rear quarter it looks an absolute mess um we're trying to up here the roof is on top of the rear quarter like the actual roof panels on top and the rear quarter slides underneath it so we made a little cut hole here and I'm hoping that we can just like work it out and pull it out from underneath it because we don't want to damage the roof yeah w wow oh yes Body Shop quarter off finally we got the rear quarter panel off what a job that was but I'm afraid it's going to take even longer to put the new quarter panel back on look at this the good news is that all of the inner structure there is no damage there is oh actually there is some inner structure damage here to like the wheel Arch which we could think we can just tap that out do a bit of body shopping now all of this has got to be cleaned up everywhere where there's a world I've got clean up we go all the way over it with a sander and then we can start sliding in the new one eventually Jack did tell me as well that it is best to put the quarter panel on with the wheels on that way the car isn't supported by the body and we're not going to cause any weird flexes as well and we also should put the door on before we put the quarter panel on to make sure that the quarter panel lines up with the door and the boot as well it sounds like a right left it yeah do sound terrible in this 13 hours remaining yeah Liam's disappeared to get a haircut at4 1 in the morning I think that was a terrible excuse from him we've got to make sure that the inner structure is spot on before we start fitting the other quarter panel so with a bit of heat and a hammer we knocked out the wheel Larch section pretty well and then we're using the belt sander to clean up anywhere where the spot welds were so we get a nice clean surface to weld on to okay we on we're going to lower it down roll it off and then I can uh start the process of refitting a quarter panel yeah we can't mess this up cuz if we mess it up it's messed up for [Music] real right plan we're going to put new door on and the boot on then we've got a reference point to line up this rig quter come on but as me and Chris lifted up the door to fit into the car we found another problem oh no oh no there is a bolt or a nut inside this door I was definitely sabotaged precious time is being wasted we had to take off the door card again and try and fish out this loose bolt which was in the door that thing was causing the noise and once we found it we're got to put it all back together again but that is just cars for you with the bolt out we can start lining up the door to the car one bolt at the top one bolt at the bottom the wiring and the check strap it's looking good look at this that is pretty good color as well color looks good color ain't even that bad I guess we'll see when we see it in daylight properer but it really ain't that bad as well we've got to put the boot LD on this is so when we put the rear quarter on we've got two references to line it up boot is on door is on rear quarter oh as we approach the halfway line that's good going if you ask me yeah okay so that kind of slotted underneath we then test fitted the rear quarter to make sure everything all lined up look at that there a first test fit I think it does have to go up a tiny bit but that much is it no it ain't it a that is looking absolutely Sensational for first fit I can't believe how thin all the panels are and everything out moves but yeah look at that this is looking good OEM now I've got a reer drill all the holes from a spot world so I can mark them all out where I want them to go Chris is clocking out it was down to me now to finish this car on my own I'm now marking out every single hole that I need to drill where a weld will need to go whilst the time is still ticking and there's plenty of holes that need drill in now you might be asking why try and do this in 24 hours rather than take my time and do it how I'd normally do it well I saw this is a kind of challenge for myself what is actually possible in 24 hours also hopefully you guys are enjoying watching this as well and if you are don't forget to hit the Subscribe button because it does really help the channel out and it's completely free just to hit that subscribe button I've got a lot more holes to drill drill [Music] time this is definitely going to be a build to remember locked in the UN it for a full 24 hours rebuilding a Nissan GTR now that I've marked out all the holes I need to drill I've got to remove the rear quarter again clean up all the areas that I'm going to be welding onto and then add weld through primer onto them after that I've got to apply panel bond to all the sections where it was bonded on like around the fuel cap and on the wheel Arch and I'm kind of glad I'm not welding around that fuel filler okay this is it no room for error now the water panel is going on there's panel Bond on there so I've only got a small amount of time to actually get it on and uh sit it perfect I'm very tired there's still 10 and 1/2 hours left and I cannot make any mistake now let's do this come on the world through primer also goes on the rear quarter and then I can line it up again I have no idea what time of the morning it is at the minute but as I'm doing all of this it felt like time was moving even faster and the some began to rise before I even knew [Music] it once the quarter's in place I can bolt all the hardware to it like the door shot and all the other little gobbins and now it was time to weld I think we're almost ready to get the welder out and we've got 10 hours remaining I've made it through the night check it out you don't know how tempted it is to get in the car and go home and get some nice sleep but this is going to be so rewarding if I can get this quarter panel on because if we get this quarter panel on then start building the bumper back on this thing's going to look so good okay this is it there's no turning back now I only learned a world about a month ago here we are 24hour challenge welding on a quarter panel into a Nissan GTR okay let's do this there is no turning back now I've got to clamp the quarter as close as I can to the rest of the car and then weld it on it actually looks all right this method of welding is not called spot welding it's more plug welding a spot welder costs thousands of pounds but we've seen many body shops and many repair Specialists use this same method and it be effective after all there are so many welds which hold this quarter panel on and all do I know about it no I hours left on the back of the car I welded the quarter in place and then made sure that the rear screen still fit in I was just a little worried that I'd warp the panel or move it a little bit and weld it in the wrong spot but overall I think I was making some good progress to get the last few worlds in I've got to remove the boot lid which will allow me to get the belt sander in there and the welder and after that I've got to apply some etge primer now all of these welds are primer and any exposed metal is primered now it may not look the prettiest of things but when the car goes to paint I'm sure the body shop will touch up a few of my rough jobs but now I've had a look on this side and the seam sealer is just a very very small amount all around the edges in between the panels and stuff so I think we could just replicate that on this side by yeah just going down with a paintbrush really because it's not as what it it doesn't look as thick as how they put them on on the German car then Hannah turned up yay oh my God you've not got long left 4 hours I can't wait to go sleep then my dad showed up the morning they come and everyone had turned up with just enough time to do the seam seiling another one of my least favorite jobs I've already mashed the area that I need to seam sealer and now I'm going over it with a paintbrush this is just going to seal a gap between two panels again this is all rust prevention and we know how these Nissans like to rust so in fact I've applied more seam sealer than they do from the factory after that I can start putting all the panels back on the car like the fuel filler cap and the rear boot lid along with the hinges as well now yes I know this rear quarter isn't painted yet but we're still fitting up all the trims and panels to the car one because I want to make sure that this still fit and all align before it does get painted and two I want to make the car look like it's finished by the end of the video now I don't know whether I'm more looking forward to finishing the car or the 24 hours to be over back up goes the GTR in the ram again hopefully for the last time now mean my dad can lift on the rear bumper with the rear lights and then put all the under trays back on hey one thing I was worried about and now I'm not so worried about is that the bumper actually lines up really well look at the door lineup as well new door new quarter panel FR it's better than a rollsroyce back in goes all the carpets in the boot liner and my dad has actually repaired the trim that I broke earlier it's just applied a bit of glue to the back of it and I'm sure with a bit of filler and paint we can make it look perfect again but for now we're putting it all back in place to make sure everything lines up and so far so good this red steering wheel in my opinion is absolutely disgusting so I that's that has got to go the further down we get down this car but that's not a priority right now we need to see how good Chris's wiring skills are for the speaker and door card fitting skills are to make sure everything works we're going to connect up the battery and check that everything works in this door else it's all got to come back off again and put the original Loom on okay lights working passed one test window goes all the way down pass two test how's the alignment on the window yeah think that one pass test number three does the mirror work oh the Mirror Works yeah last test as he passed me flying colors is passed is passed the test everything works in the door well done Chris right last and final Thing 1 hour and a half left these wheels have got to go they're complete with odd tires on every wheel and they're completely battered here he is it's geord from Wheel Mania and I still cannot leave oh he's got donuts yeah yeah George here from real Mania the final piece of the puzzle oh yeah they look sick we got voson on the mercal Aro as well of course if you need Wheels you need tires you need any refurbishments wheel Mania all you gu guys the links in the description box for them but most of you already know that hopefully this will put the Finishing Touch cuz these were absolutely terrible I mentioned to the guys at wheel Mania that I was a attempting this Challenge on the GTR and they wanted to be a part of it and they've kitted us out with some 20in voson with some Mitchell in PS4s and I think this is truly what the car deserves look at it will Mania have finished it 27 minutes remaining we've still got time I think we could have done more but that's as much as I can physically and mentally take I need to see what 24 hours of work now looks like and also whether it was even worth it as well but I think we've got a pretty good deal on this car let's get this out you got get up 22 minutes remaining I can't do anymore I am you got to get up every morning Big B that is it one GTR 24 hours and I think we've achieved a lot one week one rear quarter one door my mind is absolutely boggled but was it all worth it let me show you the Nissan GTR was £3 35,200 a similar year GTR and mileage are selling upwards of £53,000 mine is categorized so it will naturally sell for less though the door £350 the battery 60 L and the rear quarter £850 and the wheels of course were're from Wheel Mania which a responsive part I'm not going to argue with that which brings a total bill cost to £ 36,40 of course the rear quarter needs paint but overall I think it makes this GTR a really good deal we've still got a lot more to do on the car but thanks so much for watching this video If you enjoyed it hit the Subscribe button hit that thumbs up button and I'll see you in the next video peace out 4 3 two one thank you very much and good night look at the GTR look at it it's a shame it's not fully done but you can get slapped I just can't deny giving me the best time
