Liquid oxygen with Kero?

Ah yes. Good point, i'll get you the part no's of both sides soon. I'll post up the handling mod this weekend hopefully.

Soooooo shiny

They look to be 24 dorra each from there so i'll add it to my RHD cart wish list

Noice, i'm on it. It it a permanent fix or does it need to be reapplied after a few weeks?

Thanks mate. The inner mirror cover/garnish? Those ones are just carbon dipped standard items. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/r32-gtr-carbon Something that I did get from Yahoo Japan - Nismo rear pods. These are copies. Wanted to get originals but decided against it after I saw how much dorra they were. The copies were pricey enough. These coupled with the standard bootlid & spoiler with lip, 3 piece sideskirts - Project 32GTR Nismo bodykit commences this summer.

I hear ya, mate. With a baby on the way very soon, the plan this coming year is to concentrate on cosmetics. Don't think i'll get a chance to do any full on track days. Maybe a fun day, motorkhana or possibly hill climb if I'm lucky. That said, stay tuned. About to take delivery of something that'll really change the way the car drives. (hint : it's handling related) Noted. I bought a couple of boxes of random parts in 2003 off eBay and it's been forgotten in storage. Opened them up just recently and found a whole heap of R32 parts. lol all good.

Picked the car up from RPM last Saturday. Reco'ed both front drive shafts. Not too much fun driving a car with no aircon on a 29° day. Must get the aircon gassed. Did a few minor things over the weekend. Put the carbon bits on. Car feels faster already. Makes the weathered plastic on the inside handles really stand out. Light sanding didn't help make them look any better, another item to put on the replacement list. My glovebox had the old problem of popping open on hard launches. Was going to try fix the latch until I found a spare glovebox in my random 32 parts bin. Replaced the entire latch/lock assembly with a much newer looking one. Thought I would have to keep my old key barrel but interestingly enough my key works with the new lock. Latch fixed. Boring but satisfying. Anyone noticed the cylinder with a string attached behind the glovebox designed to keep it from opening with a thud? My one had been cut. (forgot to take photos). Will try and fix it. Also finally put in the optional Nismo footrest I found in my spare parts bin. Looks like they're screwed in from the side but I just used a bit of 3M double sided tape. Feel the power.

I was starting to think he knew something about you that we didn't. LOL

Congrats!

Weirdly enough, found them on eBay. Sure thing mate. The front section that goes under the front guards are actually identical for 2piece standard standard and 3 piece Nismo. 76853-05U00.

Hmm forgot I had even ordered these until it arrived this morning. I think I have a problem. Note to self - no more late night scotchs and sitting in front of the computer. Carbon fibre coated interior pieces.

Car's like yours don't come around very often locally. Plus your one has genuine optional Nismo rear pods! *rare*

You have a good budget. For that much, you may want to look into importing a clean one. Oh also initialdennis is selling his silver VSPEC. It has a few mods but nothing too out there. Looked great when I saw it at Racepace.

Lol

It'll be streamed and channel 7 will be broadcasting the whole event on 7mate for 2015. Cool eh?

Nice work. Was that a general fun day @Lakeside? btw looks like one of those rear pods is sticking out a bit?

+1. Good to hear that. Didn't know they were against the 12 hour?

They can just stick a VR into something that resembles a Altima etc if they want. There's nothing that says the motor has to be from the car that it looks like. LOL Has to be a 4cyl turbo or 6cyl turbo though. That motor is way too advanced for this series.

LOL I was eyeing off some of their "Classic" shirts with the Group A GTR on their site too. Didn't know about the move to Pay TV. Seems like business suicide to me as they'll get less exposure. Mate, I can't say how much I love the Bathurst 12 hour. IMHO they should just scrap "supercars" and move to GT3. So much more variety with the cars. Whatever car they decide to use, it's still a control chassis though so I hope they don't do anything ridiculous and stick a GTR badge on the back of whatever they use. Some part of me does want to see someone come in with a 4cyl Turbo and kick arse. I don't why but there you go.

http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/championship/v8-supercars-blueprint-for-2017-and-beyond Looks like they'll allow a coupe shape (no surprises there) but the big change being - multiple engine configurations. VR38 for Nissan possibly? Still a control chassis etc though.

Yeah that's exactly what RPM said it'd be

Ewwwww but yeah. LOL. Spoke to RPM this morning about replacing it. It's due for a service anyway I almost forgot to put up why I was under the car in the first place. Decided to pop the side skirt off to see why one of them has popped out and get them both replaced with the genuine N1 3 Piece items i'd bought a while ago. Ended up being a good news, bad news moment. Good news was, no Rust under the skirts. Bad news was: Front left jacking point : No wonder the skirts popped out. The sills collapsed a fair bit from what looks like, careless jacking. Have straightened the seam however, will take it to a panel beater to get it pulled out after next service. Top view. Skirt can't adhere to the body as the sills bent in, towards the car. Pesky GTR's.

Can I ask how much your replaced item was?

Shizen. When was this? Speaking of these cars getting old. Found this last night. Front right driveshaft. Oh well RPM did mention that they needed looking at last time it was in.
