My R34 Has A New Face And Feet!

[SS8_Gohan]

well the modifications have kinda begun... got myself a new front bar and put some different rims on.

Rims came with the car from Japan, but couldn't switch em until after rego.. not that VicRoads would know, but i thought i'd play by the book...

I think the different front bar is a vast improvement, considering i had a stock one as i sold my Nismo/Altia one to Dale

what ya think? not 100% what to do from here with it....

On a little side note, i believe i am the only person in the entire country to have this front bar

[dezz]

looks good mate

whats with the matt black on the tip of the bonnet? did you get it done like that, or is it in the process of a respray?

[allblitz]

First thing - lower the car

[R34NRG]

how much did the bar cost ya

[satanic]

Definitely one of the nicest looking front bars I've seen on a GTT - from the photos it looks like you've modified your bonnet? Or is it a lip?

[**JaR**]

looks the goods

agreed on lowering it btw

[SS8_Gohan]

yep, got my year 1 scissors out and chopped the lip off.

i want to lower it but the front bar has next to no clearance already! i need 18's or i need to be SUPER careful...

ylwgtr2 chopped the lip for me... i thought it could be done, so i gave the job to him knowing he could do it which he did - yeah, whole car is up for a respray... but i don't know if i have the funds really, going to Africa in 2 weeks for a bit over a month...

Front bar is an exact GTR replica, made by East Bear (plastic injected moulded, not Fibreglass) and made to fit straight to the narrower GTT guards...

[**JaR**]

hmmm 18's would proly solve the trick better

wouldnt wanna fark up a rare ( and proly expensive ? ) brand new front bar

[lebostyles]

thatz looks tuff azz

[Roy]

Was lookign at the job lwgtr2 did on the bonnet etc...top shelf. I dont know anyone else that would have bothered with such a ball busting job.

Looks good, but that crazy frotn bar sure makes lowering the car hard.

[666DAN]

Dan, seeing as we're both Dans and share the same B'day...will he help me with my lip as well?????????

[satanic]

WOW, you're keen chopping up a bonnet! but the effect is awesome!!! Well done; try get some photos of it out in better lighting so we can see all the curves

[SS8_Gohan]

yeah, troy did mention i should make a copy of the bar... in case of breakage... no cheap ass copies of this around, so would have to get it sent direct from japan... $$$$$$$$$$ -

yeah, unfortunately i think 18's are the only way to solve the height problem...

yes, the bar isn't your $300 unpainted fibreglass dodge copy - i'll just say $1k+, not the sort of thing i want to be destroying any time soon...

hey dan, i'm not sure it troy(ylwgtr2) would want to do this again! you'd have to find someone up ur way how could chop, weld, make it look nice... oh, you need a GTR bracket/support bar thingy too... i'm currently borrowing Troy's

what u reckon i could get for the rims? genunine Advan Model 5's, nice and light... Advan Neova tyres.. 235/255 front/back

EDIT: satanic: yeah pictures are shite... late afternoon, when i install the CS2 suite i have lying around somewhere, i'll try a fix it... you're right, can't quite see all the lines/curves, etc...

[PAV34]

very nice bar, but the side skirts may need to be changed because they sit a lot higher, depending on how it looks if you lower it.

[dezz]

excuse the ignorance, but am i the only one that doesnt know what you've done with the bonnet?

it looks like a stock bonnet, painted matt black 1/3 of the way up?

[Mean_R34]

Is it just me of does the grille section look like a 34 GTR nose?

Nice job anywayz.

[Mavric]

looks awesome dude...

[SS8_Gohan]

ok ok, my photograhy skills suck, i know i know - thaka mate, some help!?

look at Dezz's avatar...

the bonnet is now the same as a GTR bonnet, the front bar is the same as a GTR front bar... the 2 together..... you get the idea..

man, don't make me put a GTR badge in the grille!

[dezz]

thanks mate, i wasnt trying to be smart or anything...i just cant see the difference.

maybe in real life, or with better pics

[Mavric]

ok whats with the bonnett at the front it looks matt... and not as shiny as the rest that cas its not complete???
