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
