TM7GTR

is it a proper full carbon bonnet, or is it a fibreglass bonnet with a carbon overlay?

few pics (from his phone so apologise for quality/size) , ,

depending on how much you flare the guards, I would say go with the 235's on the 10j rears. My brother has gram lights 57 pro's 18x10 +12 all round on his s15 and the tyres are stretched, but not over the top stretched (it looks really good)

cross factory kit with wide fenders

and girly men

damnn, does he just hop in and forrest gump that sh!t down to NSW daily?

I overduely welcome you then

it may look shocking, but I don't quite think Nissan were going for the aesthetics point of view

Love the matte black look Stephen, are those gtr 34 wheels?

love it, very smart designing

they're illegal due to emissions laws over there, not because he simply skipped paperwork. And yes they more than likely will be crushed (it is rare that an overseas buyer is able to claim one)

being an eBay seller, I know all about things like this happening. As other people have said, it is a little harsh that you have called the guy a thief as it is something a bit out of his control. As a seller who is the middle man in an operation though (i.e. he sourced the part then handed it over to you) he should have had the common sense to open it up, check that the item in question was of the standard he led you to believe, then re-packaged it properly as to avoid any damage occurring. Now as we don't know when it was damaged (being that it could have been on the trip from japan to aus, or from the seller to your house) it's a bit hard to chase up a shipping company for compensation. Although, I would talk to the seller nicely and civilised and ask him to inform the shipping company of what happened, and see what options they offer in terms of getting your money back. Now what you shouldn't have done, is got angry with the seller and/or threatened to report him or take action. This will only make the matter worse as he will be feeling that you can shove it because you're blaming him completely; in other wods he won't want to help you at all. Another thing I highly reccommend for next time, is that you ask the seller to ship the item with shipping and handling insurance. That way, if the item is damaged in transit as it obviously was (being that it looked fine in the photo) it is the responsiblility of the shipping company to compensate for both of your losses. Work together with the seller and see what you can come up with. Due to it being a 2nd hand item he is also in no way responsible for the items condition prior to it being in his control (but the gumby kinda should have checked it when it arrived lol) If the shipping company refuse to pay out your losses (which I think they might) due to having no insurance in transit, then as much as I hate to sound like a douche, you're just going to have to accept what the seller can offer you and move on. Many situations like this are learned the hard way which is unfortunate, but there's blame on all three parties here IMHO. Hope it works out well for you in the end dude, coz that's a real pain in the arse when your hard earned cash is involved

except for the fact that most of them (including brian's in F&F) are actually Kaizo Unibody cars, not genuine GT-Rs. So whether it's genuine or not, they will still get busted (other than the 10 or so genuine imports from back in 99)

haha love this photo... it's like you swapped out the rb26 for fred flinstone

maybe I missed it, but is this a manual or auto?

that is one sexy looking s15. Mind if I ask where you got your body kits fitted and sprayed? My bro is doing a pretty major job on his s15 atm, putting a c-west widebody front with a veilside rear, sides, and wide guards.

that 2nd momo wheel for the 350z is a nice wheel. Have sat in a 350gt with the same wheel and it is a very solid feeling wheel.

I know what you mean by that, but I think thats more JDM VIP style. Go with mr eps' idea and do the white on chrome

love the thread title ahahaha "more jdm than your asian step brother" thats a win for best F/S thread title. Goodluck man

as odd as the name is, I take it you are looking at going for the "hellaflush" look? I say go a nice pearl white in that case as it will bring out the clean lines of the car, aswell as help the chrome wheels blend into the car properly (rather than stand out if the colour was black)

damn that sucks oh well, if the s15 wheel fits I may just have to A) bribe my brother into handing his over, or B) source one out... thinking choice A will be more cost effective. Should look good with the v-spec ii pedals (btw, shoot me a PM when you require payment) cheers

congrats on the purchase man, very nice and very clean looking r33. Imo, go the TE's in bronze . Btw, you might wanna fix your profile coz you wrote R34 GT-R in the cars owned section after (dream). Unless you mean you now own a R33 as well as a R34 which in that case just makes me incredibly jealous lol

Looks like a gtt with a nismo rear bumper and a gtr spoiler, orr a standard GTR that's been de-badged, or it's just a bad quality video and I can't see the badge lol

thanks for the reply phil, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I remember reading a thread where you said you were possibly looking into organising a group buy for the z-tune steering wheel? Would love to hear of prices, etc. for this if it is true. In the mean time, I think I'll ask my bro if I can borrow the wheel from his s15 to satisfy my curiosity as it will be out of action for a while due to fitment of a widebody.

spotted a white r34 gtt with that big spoiler on the back in woden (nissan altia kit or something :s ?) also a maroon r33 down here on the south side and a silver r32 gtr (v-spec ii I think) parked in a driveway not far from my house... very nice car
