Is that docking lol

f**kin love the front, granthem , did you have to cut up the front lip for it to fit ? Also did you use "liquid nails" to attach it?

Only had to trim the Lip ever so slightly because of the cooler. I was fairly impressed with the rest of the fit. No liquid nails needed, it fits so snug that it wouldn't need anything to keep it on! That said I did put 2 small screws in the wheel arches just to be safe.

Took a while to track down the kouki 4 door parts tho...

Grant, car's still looking good as always. And Nick, loving the awesome action shots of your GTR! That's definitely where a GTR belongs - on track.

Here's a recent photo of my car (the white one) and RBScreamer's freshly sprayed R33 in a custom shade of dark pink:

Is it a genuine lip or a Viva Garage copy?

Why does everyone buy Vivagarage, Genuine is nearly the same price before shipping. It doesn't have the same non roundy bits either.

I needed mine ASAP for a wedding. Couldn't wait 6 weeks plus for delivery so I bit the bullet.

The Viva quality is alot better then I expected. Required no trimming to fit the bar at all (like I said, only the cooler). That said I would have gone genuine through Jesse Streeter or someone if I had the time.

Who made the original in Jappo land anyway?

Flat black on white, don't think it would work..white is easy enough to do with a spray can anyway and still look good..

Though dark charcoal or gunmetal grey does work well with white..

I'm wondering what satin black would look like against my gunmetal grey. :unsure:

Genuine gear is really strange. I like to think of japanese workmanship being pretty good, but even with big name companies it can be hit and miss.

I know a mate who got (from memory) Dmax carbon roof wing, rear lip etc for his S15. The roof wing is the worst for finish, fitment I have ever seen. Overall it is disgustingly bad and was purchased through a reputable shop as a genuine dealer I believe. That said, the lip was good.

That alone sometimes scares me from spending oodles on legit stuff I've never seen in the flesh.

here is a couple pics of how my interior has now turned out.

originally had r34 gtr front seats and r34 gtr steering wheel.

Now has Bride seats, door trims front and rear and momo race wheel with D1 carbon quick release hub

I built my own bolt in half cage seeing as i have the skills and equipment available at work (basically work payed me to build my cage seeing it was done during work hours)

i also got rid of the sound deadening in the back seat and sprayed the rear black

I have removed the climate controll, all audio gear and the factory centre gauges. made my own parcel shelf to cover all the holes left by speakers

fitted up igniton kill switch and other switches which still need to be hooked up

also fitted four gauges to the centre console

cage fab

cage paint

carbon centre pannel

gauges fitted

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
