good luck finding someone with a copy of a TK bodykit, let alone someone that will sell you the original. the TK kit came on numbered special edition R34 25R's. this includes the diffusers, and special edition TK seats. I've tried contacting them directly to see fi they'd sell the complete kit, but they'll only sell the front underskirt... so i dunno where your dad's mates are gonna get the genuine front bar from. If they can get it, grab it... If you want a Tommy Kaira bodykit, buy a Tommy Kaira R34 25R. But you can email [email protected] them directly if you want. Just as a side note... did anyone see the TK R32 M30 that they just sold... *jealous*

here's the QLD brief, based on the ADR's regarding light vehicle ride height. other states have similar restrictions, contact your local road transport authority for more info http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/resources/...difications.pdf pay attention to the bit that says: Anyways, I live in melbourne, and I found this out when the police gave my mate a defect at a EPA/roadworthy blitz station... one of the items on the notice was "adjustable suspension", when we questioned it, we were informed that they were illegal as they allowed the user of the car to manually adjust the height of the car. They were only legal if either the adjustment nut was welded in place, or an approved tamper proof sticker was placed over it by a VASS engineer.

holford motors (get number off whitepages or google em) in melbourne import D-Max fenders, good rates, container shipping though, so you might have to wait for them to get here. They should do the door trims as well. The origin door trims are cheaper though. There's plenty of shops making em now in japan. Dunno why you'd wanna fibreglass door lining though... if its a race car its heavy unnecessary shit (we use a flat carbon fibre sheet with holes cut out for winder and door release)... and if its a passenger car, fibreglass interior is the most uncomfortable and rattly shit you can put inside your car. Dunno bout you but I lean on my door trim a fair bit when I drive... fibreglass tends to crack and warp a bit too easily.

ya, as thrtytwo said... this front lip comes down in front of that lil extrusion on the bar, so there's no interference. the front of the bonnet is just a few cm back from the face of the front bumper, instead of stepping back a couple of inches to the headlight line (just like an R34 GTR)... which is what I want. Its designed to go on an R32 GTS/GTSt and usable with the standard bonnet release lever. If you put it on a GTR you'll have to make a hole in the mesh to access the release. First thing on the to do list when I get it is to remove that line in the middle going back from the drop vent... might need to reinforce the opening from underneath though. I might take a pic of my car in the right position so I can photoshop the bonnet on to see what it looks like.

after 6 years of owning various R32's now I don't even notice it... but everytime someone jumps in the passenger seat they tell me about the square crack i've got around the window and right down the middle.

ok sorry for that brief intermission, but it had to be said... lets try to stick to the topic fellas.

Arrrgh! I think everytime you post my IQ drops. lol stop now, before I become as dumb as a tasmanian.

read about this in the morning... tis a sad day, and his son too. real shame.

Hey guys, I'm about to bring down an Aeromaster Type 2 bonnet for the R32 from japan, but before I buy one, I wanted to know if anyone's actually seen one on a car, and if they have pics of anything similar (mainly the front piece). Its supposed to give it a slightly R34'ish look... but I've only ever seen one pic of it, and that's from the manufacturer. So if any of you have seen it or have any other pics, can you please post em up? here's the pic I've got:

lol Nissan spent billions of dollars in R&D, and then producing much more passenger car variants of the GTR.. so it didn't look sus? Kev @ the house down the street thinks you're on crack.

errr... there's a dirty ghost inside your headlight then

still downloading it... 6gb farken on low priority (tv shows/divxs first)

move his postbox to another part of his front yard. subtle... but will get him perplexed.

haha i can think of no better revenge than unleashing a drunken brisby.... make sure you piss in his cereal bowl and fornicate with his wife.

don't you clowns sleep?

wire comes up from under the car, there's a rubber grommet under your spare wheel where the wire comes thru. yours probably dosen't light up for the same reason as mine which was the EL's busted after more than 10 years of use. hot air gun (or hair dryer) the glue between the panel and bumper and slowly use a blade to cut the double sided tape off. Be careful when taking the panel off, its really brittle and can snap in two very easily. Once its off, mod it with a new EL sheet or high brightness LED's and reattach it back on.

surpised no one's posted this yet... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm8d9X6LtCU

powerplay imports sell the east bear ones from memory, which are identical but slightly cheaper.

oooh i remember when that car came up for sale... looks nooooice!

r33 non xenon headlights are plastic... r32 an i think r34 are glass. what you'll probably find is that moisture is getting inside you headight that gets dirty (usually thru a crack or a break in the silicone seal). water can carry dust particles and also speed up the UV reaction that the plastic undergoes.

they're both sports cars, one was targetted at people who wanted a sporty looking cutting edge aesthetics based car, the other was a touring car based on a passenger car (as required by the racing rules of the time)... hence the GT badges, they competed in group A races, the silvias were also a touring car which competed in group C (or something like that). its like if i asked you what is holden's flagship sports car... the commodore or the monaro... the monaro is right? but they still race the commodore platform in V8 supercars, not the monaro.

actually all models from the ALSI in the 60's, thru to the C10's and the R30's n R31's and even the R32's thru to the R34 are designed as passenger cars first, then as the touring car race models. R32 n/a coupe and 4 doors came out 4 or 5 months before the GTR, R33 sedans and coupes were out a whole year before the GTR's. etc etc. They're most definitely designed on a passenger car platform. The 300zx and the Z series on the other hand are designed from the ground up to be sports cars. And the rules weren't changed to exclude the GTR from racing, do a search on the forum, its a common misconception.

is that 98 octane petrol that you're throwin on the fire there floody *waits for angry angry response from 32line*

oops sorry, yours was sent to QLD 4304, that's the right addy yeah?

gimme a day or so... i'll sort it out
