Rezz

I am hung mate... no need to get jealous! :D

I've always loved your shots DCD, I still have one you posted up from the Nismo festival (STP Group A R32 GT-R) well done

I really can't see a problem with importing an "ex-Japanese import" back into Japan, just so long as it's unmodified and none of the original things that made it roadworthy in Japan (eg: the emergency flare is there, the catalytic converter ok, lights/horn etc all working) are still intact. For example, I took some pics of some LHD Celsiors (Lexus SC400s) at the Kobe SuperAutobacs show and (although they were modified) seemed to be something that a few enthusiasts were willing to go through to be unique (having a LHD Celsior I guess is not so unique now though?). Maybe the question isn't "can it be done?" but "if it's possible?" under small volume import laws... It's all just a guess though, I don't know anything really. What car is it? Can I ask why you want to do it?

I should take mine off then?

Great stuff Topi! Yes, please post up a "photo diary" with comments if you can Btw, did you see an "XR6T" engine (from the Australian built "Falcon XR6T" - 4.0 inline 6 turbo twin cam monster) there at JUN? Theres some speculation as to what happened to it (or if indeed they had one?)

Hehehe... yeah, it seems to be a popular "mod" with the Japanese R32 guys

You have PM... btw, it's impossible to know if the bonnet/front bumper has been fixed until you open the box and attach the bumper and bonnet. Bummer.

Gotcha... you know, I'm rapidly losing interest now. I really hope they make a ghey US version and a "proper" Japanese version... because whats going around now is really sub-standard wouldn't you say?. Almost like they've (Nissan) have exceeded their budget or something???

geno8r: Do a seach before posting dude! I must admit, when I saw the thread title I thought "oh no, here we go again..." The forum is called "The Next Skyline", but that means the V36 Skyline + GT-R, not the V35 (you probably know that now so I'll shuddup)

Thats what I mean, I saw it in a mag yesterday and thought "they're not serious?"... I mean it's really underdone, hence the "if thats real..." quote.

The bracket was about 2,000 yen (?) from SuperAutobacs (Ikeri's place )　but I'm not sure who makes them... some generic company who gets their gear made offshore (China). It bolts to the bumper directly... just used self tappers to screw into the bumper from below.You could knock up some stainless brackets at a steel fabrication place for about $5 though right? (DIY )

Nah, they're not Regamasters... I love the offset on the rear though. Anybody else know? I could search around but too tired!!

The Bomex front lip spoiler cost about A$190 (13,000 yen) from Bomex Japan. The sun shade cost 200 yen (A$2.50) from SuperAutobacs in Itami... incidently the place where Ikeri works Btw, coco69, I'll post up a rear shot tomorrow. The front lip is a dedicated HCR32 "aero bumper" spoiler, it doesn't fit R32 GT-Rs.

Dummy fit: This thing was top notch quality!!! Hell, it was such a snug fit, I could've driven around without screwing it on properly. Well done Bomex So much downforce on the back, I'll never get the tail out now! I bought the car with that crease just in front of the left front wheel.

During the week I recieved a huuuuuuge box from Bomex with an HCR32 front lip spoiler: A huge box for only this: I also got a Nismo rear spoiler from East Bear: Not wanting to fork out for labour, I went onto the roof of my building to spray the front lip spoiler (the Nismo spoiler was painted already by East Bear by request) Ashiya and surrounding suburbs:

I didn't feel a thing... in fact I didn't even know there had been a largish earthquake until I saw it on CNN of all places!

abcent: I know you said you weren't interested in the GT-R wing, but what about a black GT-R wing with corresponding black front lip spoiler... siiiiiiick mooooooooite!

DJをしてるでしよ？　加世ちゃんは今晩DJのレッスンします。　加世ちゃんの仕事は会議室の秘書です。

I usually have dinner with my other half and Troy... go to the odd party... sometimes I've got to work. Tonight my wife is gonna take some DJing lessons from my mate Nao.

Footwork = suspension

Yes

The RB26 has made it's way into just about every RWD platform over here, more of a "look I did it!" type thing than actually using the RB26 for any huge performance advantages (when installed in a car that had a 2JZ). Although Top Secret have made it clear in the past that the RB26 was just soooo much easier to work with than the 2JZ in their original RB26 JZA80.Having said that I agree with Sydneyskid about the turbos being on the wrong side on the 2JZ , also the "back to back" turbo setup on the earlier twin turbo engines (like on FD3Ss) are a bit wack... Nissan got it right the first time.

Troy, I found out what Marqui Promoda is... it's a sub-line of wheels made by Desmond (Desmond being the parent company). Now I understand what you were going on about before when you couldn't remember the company name.
