Hi everyone, these panels have been making wall ornaments in my living room for long enough so they need to go. Rare as hens teeth, i'm not sure if there's any other sets like this in Australia. From other photos i've seen i believe the doors and vented guards are Garage Saurus, the bonnet is Shift Sports (slightly different weave but barely noticeable). Panels aren't perfect but in good condition, bonnet is very good. The main imperfections are in the painted strip at the top of the doors and guards. You could paint it to match your car or very carefully sand it back. These came off my GTR so i know they fit and work exactly the same as stock. Both doors have handles, electrics, window and one will come with some spare hinges and speaker i've got.

Weights (each approx)

Doors 17kg complete with everything (stock ~30kg)

Guards 1.2kg (GTR ~2.5kg, GTST~?)

Bonnet 7kg (GTR ~10kg, GTST ~18kg)

I've had interest from someone wanting the doors only but i'd rather keep such rare panels together so i want to sell the doors and guards together, or the whole set. I'd prefer a local buyer (could probably deliver to Bris/Gold Coast at no cost) but am open to interstate if you've got ideas on how to post carefully.

SOLD.

That's less than 1/3 of the new price! (see here and here)

Lots of pics below and more available by request.

Please PM me or email at [email protected], phone number only to serious buyers.

Sorry Stephen, but i'm not willing to go that low at the moment considering how much interest has been expressed in the panels.

Here's some extra pics or the panels fitted to my car (about the only ones i actually took while they were on). The CF looks a bit blotchy in the pics due to being wet when the pic was taken, they're nice and even in real life. The CF would stand out a lot more on a non-grey car, but its still pretty sexy in the flesh.

Lots of interest but not buyers yet, i'm down in Brisbane and the Gold Coast regularly so i can bring some down for inspections if requested. Don't forget that you can sell of your stock panels for ~$1500 total as well leaving you much less out of pocket :D

They're a perfect fit, they came off my GTR and i bolted standard guards straight back in their place.

I've had a bit of interest in the doors and guards separately but i'd prefer to get certain sales on each before i separate. PM me offers for each and i'll consider them in another week if the lot isn't taken together.

cheers

Neil

Still here, taking offers and available separately. I want money to buy another car so make an offer and you might be suprised (especially Qlders who don't require postage).

Yeah, the paint is a separate layer, it hasn't all been gel coated over or anything. If you run your nail up the guard you can sort of pick your nail on it.

Your 2 options would be to VERY carefully sand back the paint, or an easier option would be to find some sort of paint stripper that won't affect the gel layer over the CF.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
