what do you guys think of turtle wax? I don't have a great deal of time, but every now and again I do a wash with the ice wash, then with the ice polish (not the liquid one). The results are pretty nice, but i am noticing some swirls now after some time and the hood feels a bit rough when i buff it with a microfibre cloth. My cars a dark navy blue r34 gt btw, 1998, still the same paint job, so about 10 - 11 years old. also, just looking at this post, i've noticed alot of people have around 5 steps + when they clean... is a wash and polish good enough?

hey, one of my friends who own a 34 gt-r gave me a set of Nismo struts which he bought a long time ago, but never used since he got tein ones to replace them just wondering if that would fit onto my 34 gt?

hey i just found out about the performance motor show this weekend! sounds interesting .. definitely gonna go check it out

oops sorry i meant z tune BONNET

yeah pretty much the same as the z-tune bumper but it doesnt have the extra vents inside that main one if you get what i mean.. yeah its gonna cost a fortune and a half by the end for sure haha

oh ok lol so does anybody know the name of the bonnet of the blue r34 in the latest fast and furious? I can't seem to be able to find a fibreglass version of it anywhere, they all seem to be carbon fibre, might be a bit better if i actually knew the name of it.

huh?

yeah the website does sound promising, really wish i lived in the eastern states now lol did you get him to spray it to the colour of your car for you before he shipped it over? i'm not really too sure how well that would work since my paint job is about 11 years old, could be a bit faded etc .. also, do i still need to special order the clips from nissan japan, or would JSAI.com have them too? i remember somebody told me i had to order some clips from nissan jap thru a local nissan dealer.

oh ok cheers, will give him a buzz soon then figured out my dream kit .. z tune front bumper BN fenders by the way does anybody know the name of the hood of the r34 gt-r used in fast/furious 4? one of my fav hoods

thanks again, just sent them a message for a package of front fenders front bumper bonnet gettin real excited bout this now hoping to have the front end converted by september 28 for my birthday haha

wow, thats a nice site! cheers for that will definitely ask them for a front end package, hopefully that will work out well, their kits there were going for a good price too. yeah at the moment im focusing more on the cosmetics of the car, maybe one day i'll get around to the performance part, but for now im still very happy with the performance. Recently added a performance air filter, since the original had to be changed anyway, the lukey filter Midas hooked me up with was a washable one too, so a pretty good deal there.

ah, thats a pretty expensive one isnt it..? maybe ill stick to one of the ones i said at the start, all very nice looking and probably cheaper lol

hmm ive seen a few more brands fenders, could it be BN's? looks a bit like it nismo parts generally cost a fair bit dont they..? that is a nice car though, would love to get mine to somewhere similar to that one day

sorry bout that mate, still new to this sorta thing lol

does anybody know which companies made the front fenders, side skirts and front bumper for this car? http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=h....jpg&title=

lol ..i like it

wow, good deal, but not really, im pretty into the square/boxy looking kits similar to the stock gt-r. top secret was a pretty good price, 350 for the front bumper. the front half isnt really too expensive in aus around 350-400 for a front bump,er 600 for the fenders 500 for the hood 1.5k is quite reasonable i guess, but im just trying to cut costs wherever possible since the fitting/painting will cost a bit. just seeing which option will work out cheapest. cheers for that but

lol yeah gt-rs can go around 40-45k atm non turbo, manual, 2 door 25gt's go for .. 16? thats a pretty big blow to my pockets mate

yeah i've considered just selling my gt and getting a gt-r but the one off payment is huge .. ill have to add approximately 20-30k all in one big payment. also if i got a gt-r its already pretty much perfect, not much work left to do, and i love having something else i wanna do to the car. but yeah, ill lose alot of money if i do sell it off. i also considered swapping my gt 34 for a gtr 33 too, they are very nice cars also, but im attached to 34s already still alot of decision making to do before i spend any money on this car, but we'll see soon hopefully

wow i was just on import monster and i found this gt-t converted into gt-r http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=h....jpg&title= LOVE the front fenders, side skirts and front bumper. anybody got an idea what company makes these parts and how to get them? those are seriously the nicest fenders ive seen!

Damn, yeah maybe i'll just stick to the front for now, was thinking of doing the whole kit since i thought the fitting + spraying would work out cheaper if i did it all in one go. Sounds a bit expensive though, cant really afford to do it all just yet. So generally importing parts is cheaper than buying it off places like vivagarage and powerplaceimports on the net? Thanks for recommending import monster, checking it out now looks pretty good haha would love to change the engine one day

Looking around at the moment, trying to figure out the best way to do the conversion. So far looking at the Top Secret, Cross Factory, Nismo, and East Bear gt-r kits mainly, Have had a look at most of the brands by now, and I don't mind the Crux or the Impul kit too. Buying my parts locally are quite expensive, does anybody know anything about important parts from japan? any good sites to use or somebody in aus who knows how to bring kits in? im also considering bringing a half cut in not really too sure which will work out cheaper, just trying to bring down the cost as much as possible, time is not really an issue, I'd rather take it slowly and choose the best option since i'm still new to the modifying scene and i'm quite lost at the moment .. 1. Buying parts locally 2. Importing parts from Japan 3. Bringing a half cut of a gt-r in if anybody has any experience in this could you lend us a hand? cheers

wow, cars looking good! it was actually the pic of your car that got me leaning towards the top secret kit , before that i was looking for a stock gt-r panel or the east bear kit so cheers for that! i'm in the process of respraying my centre panel silver also, only done the bottom area, but will slowly move up.

so far leaning towards either a east bear or top secret front bumper gt-r style front fenders from vivagarage and the fibreglass type W bonnet from them too. not too sure what other parts i may need to fit it properly, like pins or clips or if the panelbeater would have them, ill probably have to contact the guy once i figure out who to go to and see if its worth trying to figure out how to fit it myself or just gettin them to do it for me.

Hey, I'm starting to think about changing my body kit on my 34 25gt Just wondering if anybody knows anywhere where i can fit and spray it for a reasonable price? I'm still pretty new to the modified car scene, so I don't really have an idea of a good panel-beater.. if anybody could recommend one that would be great cheers
